Glass Houses

Uh, oh….

…over a quarter of Stephane Dion’s speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2005 was plagiarized directly from a 2004 speech given to the U.S. Senate committee chaired by none other than…..John McCain.

  1. Ted,
    It astounds me that you wouldn’t find a candidate hanging around with a terrorist to be a problem.
    If it wasn’t for the Liberals hanging out at terrorist fundraisers in Canada (see Tamil Tigers for details) I wouldn’t have thought you’d have it in you.
    I guess liberals check their non-existent morals at the door.

  2. You guys don’t read so well do you. I’ve said nothing about what I think about Obama’s relationship with Ayers or others. I’ve said it is a strategic mistake by McCain in his campaign to try to pull attention away from the economy to something the general public and ordinary voters do not put anywhere near the top of their priorities. Need we hammer the point home to you folks: it’s the economy, stupid!
    Americans are worried about their savings, their homes and their jobs right now. They don’t care just how many of McCain’s organizers are lobbyists (and there are MANY) or even that McCain himself has been caught up in corruption scams, and they don’t care that among the millions of Obama supporters some have some nefarious past. But they do care and they want to know that you understand that concern and they do want to know what the candidates will do about that. Anything else – at this point in the campaign, with this kind of economic crisis – is clearly a desperation move trying to AVOID taking a leadership issue on the most important issue to Americans.
    Harper is suffering the same problem in his campaign strategy. Americans and Canadians want to know that their leaders understand and empathize with the issues they care about. The Conservatives have done well in the last two elections in making this a core component of their election strategy, but suddenly that instinct is gone. Worse for them, the election is going to be held after Thanksgiving weekend where every Canadian family table will be talking about the economy and the election, and just after an expected to be poor jobs report at the end of this week.
