I never met Linda McQuaig but I know she has been around seemingly forever. I think she lives in Edmonton and she has written books and been a journalist in several newspapers. I'm now seeing her in the Toronto (Red Star), for some reason. Normally I would have thought her too Left for the Star but they seem to be shifting left, lately.
Years ago when in University and taking poly sci courses, I was told that if you wanted to get an A' for a paper, a good move was to quote Linda McQuaig since she was held in such esteem by all the obviously left-wing poly-sci profs. In fact I think all the profs in University were left-wing now that I think of it, even the business ones (why in the hell would that be btw...?).
Well back to Belinda, it must be kinda a backhanded compliment to be now lauded by hard-core socialists that only months before would have hissed and spit at the mere mention of your name. Furthermore, the thought that such same socialists giving you compliments, Belinda I think would have made you feel uncomfortable... but then again I'm only guessing here.
The story title below was found on thestar.com May 22nd edition as an editorial.
Followed are snippets of the story (link to it by clicking the title of this blog..), with my comments:
'Linda McQuaig praises Stronach for allowing the budget to survive amid vicious attacks from outraged right'
By crossing the floor, Belinda Stronach — hero or political whore, depending on your perspective — allowed the budget to survive.
Ha Ha, good one Linda, not sure if that is a backhanded compliment or not..
With the extra $4.6 billion in social spending insisted on by the NDP, this is the most progressive federal budget in 30 years. So this is a very good thing — even if it turns out that Stronach defected because she couldn't think of a gentler way to dump Peter MacKay.
You know Linda, I'm sure that Barbelinda or stick chick' will find a nice upstanding commie to love amongst your crowd. He can do the dishes for her. But the real issue here is you and your boss Jack L. (Jackal), counting billions you ain't gonna see.
But when that same inexperienced little rich girl impulsively grabbed at a brass ring last week, no scornful epithet was spared — sell-out, whore, dipstick, political slattern, blonde ambition, Judas.
Suddenly her wealth became an issue.
The same crowd who never condemn the unfairness of inherited wealth, abruptly began disparaging Stronach for her inherited wealth.
Okay but why arn't you calling her a spoiled wealthy bitch you commie? Oh I forgot, you and Jackal think she is on your side. LOL!
Yet, for years the media encouraged a nakedly ambitious Paul Martin as he plotted against Jean Chrétien.
Nor did pundits accuse Martin of betraying his principles for abandoning the social spending promises he made in the 1993 Liberal Red Book.
Okay so I repeat myself Linda, why don't you criticize Barbelinda for being over ambitious? Why the silence about the ultra-sleaze recently from PMPM?
As long as politicians veer to the right, pundits seem satisfied they're acting on principle.
As long as politicians are veering to the left they get a free ride from deep thinkers like you eh Linda? When was the last time that any sentient citizen in this country can remember that a politician actually dared drift to the right without being attacked mercilessly by a left-wing pitbull like you?
I suspect Stronach was motivated by a number of things: a deep dislike of Stephen Harper (imagine not warming to that guy!), a growing alienation from her party, a sense that she had no future there. It's even possible she was motivated, in part, by what she feels is good for the country.
This is the joke part of your story is it Linda? First of all your new found buddy PMPM is believed to be a liar by 2/3rds of the population. Secondly Harper is considered an academic compared to most politicians right now, I thought commies liked academics? Regarding stick chic' she was obviously a lefty trying to rebuild the party in her image, something she has no right to do. Why don't you and Jackal welcome her to the NDP? In regards her motivations Linda, they are Greed and well... Greed. What are yours? Oh I know achieving a socialistic nirvana wherby God is banished and people like you become God, am I wrong?
If she had simply quit the party and sat in obscurity as an independent, she would have eventually been forgiven.
Ah no, you are wrong. Besides have you apologized to her yet for your slagging of the monied class in this country? Better fess up Linda.. lucky for you she never read any of your propaganda as she quit University after 1 year or less.
But to grab a job on the Liberal front bench, and to do it so dramatically, when so much was at stake — why that's downright cocky.
Yeah it is when she didn't earn it and it just so happened to co-incide with a vote on a budget that Buzz Hargrove dictated to Jackal on a napkin at the Royal York and for which you will never see a dime - so who is the whore Linda?
No right-wing pundit is going to let some smart-ass little rich girl get away with all that.
You're right Linda, and now how do you feel after some badass right-winger like me has bitch-slapped you?
