Hmmm.

Given how completely wrong the Globe was on Pupatello’s liquor sales statement – ie., they claimed the exact opposite of what she said, in both headline and story, and have yet to publish a correction, despite having been sent a full transcript – I am actually feeling a bit sympathetic towards The World’s Worst Mayor™. Hard to believe, but true.

But that doesn’t stop the rest of us from speculating recklessly about what the top secret blockbuster story is about, does it? Speculate away, Team wk.com!

From the Twitter account of a Toronto lawyer, George Gray.  Apparently taken at the Bloke and Fourth.

Wow.

This story is flat-out, categorically false. Pupatello said no such thing.

I hereby declare an open thread on stuff reporters get totally wrong. This Globe story is my submission.

Sandra at her Toronto campaign H.Q. I’d be there, too, but I have to go speak to Beaches East York Libs at the St. Louis Bar and Grill!

“I’ve made it very clear that I would be supporting the person who would best represent the interests of the North, and I think Sandra is that person.”

I’m going to be reading from and/or talking about Fight the Right at a meet the candidates thing in my home riding of Beaches-East York tonight at about 8 pm. We’ll be gathering at the St. Louis Bar and Grill (1963 Queen Street East) for grub, grog and a gab about what Grits need to win.

If you go, you’ll get to meet some of the local Liberals who have put their names forward to help run the riding. They’re up for election at the AGM on December 9 and they need your vote. C’mon by to meet them!

The last four postings, I note, are about the news media, and how they sometimes bewilder me. I’m sure I bewilder folks, too, but I don’t charge anyone for “news” or “opinion.”

Anyway.  They’re not having a good morning, the MSM. I’m sure they’ll feel better tomorrow.

My friends Clay Ruby and Paul Magder have already agreed to the stay.  So why is today’s hearing in any way news?

(Swear to God, some days, I think I am totally missing things.  Is there a reason why dozens of reporters and camerafolks are crammed in a courtroom this morning, tweeting and reporting on something whose outcome is already known?)

Why was it written?  Why is it being headlined, anywhere? Why are Opposition MPs compelled to comment? Why should anyone care, when this guy hasn’t been near cabinet for years?

Ottawa is crazy.  That isn’t news, either.
