Does anyone else find it amusing that Ezra Levant has started a "union?" Does that mean I'm his employer, now?
Ezra, you're fired!
Anyway. Just kidding. So, I'm thinking Ezra needs to tell his Winged Monkeys - and, by the way, he's cutting your grass, Wicked Witches of the East and West! - about what happened with his very first client. Namely, him.
A few days ago, you see, Ezra put up a whopper of a tale about me and the National Post. It was packed with all sorts of stuff that I hadn't heard before, stuff Ezra said the paper was sayin'.
So I got in touch with a couple of editors at the paper, and asked them if any of Ezra's claims were true. Negatory, came back the answer. (Get it? Negatory?)
Anyhoo. So we fired off a note to Canada's Foremost Expert On Libel and Quite A Few Other Things Too©, and heard nothing back. Nada. But the posting? The posting quietly disappeared. Within minutes, pretty much.
So there's your erstwhile Perry Mason, Onion of Boogers. On the very first day, with his very first client, he folded like a cheap suit.
Supreme Court of Canada, watch out! Ezra's a-comin'!
...
MINUTES-LATER UPDATE!! Ezra has emailed me, saying he didn't receive the email. I've re-sent it to him. He also says he's fine with leaving the original post down, because he doesn't want to embarrass a friend at the Post.
SOMEWHAT-LATER UPDATE!! Man, this is getting hard to follow, even for me, and I'm the one getting loads of emails from Ezra. (It's also really, really boring.) Canada's Foremost Expert On Libel and Quite A Few Other Things Too© says he won't be intimidated by the Evil Kinsella One, he's tough, he's strong-as-bull, blah blah blah...so he's re-posting the libellous email! Except... he doesn't. Here's his excuse: "I didn't save the original entry, but I can sum it up..." And then he proceeds to "sum up" something entirely unlike his original pile of bullshit, thereby neatly avoiding a big fat libel action. Here's a tip, Ezra: you're full of crap. You know what you said - you've now got multiple copies of the Libel Notice as a tip sheet, don't you? C'mon, freedom fighter! Show the Onion of Boogers what you're made of!
And, yes, to my saint-like spouse and the millions of readers who have asked: this web site is an Ezra-Free Zone for the forseeable future. We've done our bit, and then some.
Ezra, you're fired!
