Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Television and radio journalist Seamus O’Regan, November 2013: Rob Ford is getting “support from a team of health-care professionals”. And that is it. That’s all.
Liberal MP Seamus O’Regan, January 2016:I’ve decided after consultation with family that I can be most effective as a Member of Parliament by adopting an alcohol free lifestyle, To that end, over the holiday break, I have entered a wellness program.
h/t Ezra Levant, who has lots more.

  1. At this bleak time of year, if it weren’t for Schadenfreude, there wouldn’t be any Freude at all.

  2. “…In the meantime, my family and I ask for privacy. Thank you.”
    You know, just like Rob Ford was afforded.

  3. Having seen him on CTV a few times, many years ago, I had no idea he had been elected to parliament. God in his Heaven, how stupid can Liberal voters be?
    In 2014 he described his experience with depression as “nothing chronic” and said he found treatment at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
    I don’t wonder his husband and brother are concerned about him. One thing they must be asking themselves is: will he be the shortest-serving M.P. in the history of the Houses of Parliament?

  4. Now that’s one long election hangover. He must have been hanging out with Johnnie “Walker”
    McCallum.

  5. Will the Toronto Star be sending a team of reporters to stake out duty on his back yard?

  6. Did anybody here read that tweet with any critical analysis skills? I do not support SR in any way, but I would say that tweet was about getting out of Ford’s face and letting him get the treatment he needed, and still needs with cancer. It was simple and to the point.

  7. If this guy was not a member of the LGTB community, would this even be a story. Further proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.

  8. “At this bleak time of year”
    Ya got that right, January is like 20 Mondays in a row……

  9. Then I suggest you use your critical analysis skills to read all of the other O’Regan Ford tweets that Ezra has resurrected.

  10. Agreed. He’s a silly little tit, but if that was the extent of his commentary on Rob Ford and his problems, then O’Regan should be commended for not joining the howling pack. And, I wish him luck with his own battle.

  11. ” adopting an alcohol free lifestyle ”
    Back in the day, one would say “I am a drunk and I am going on the wagon”

  12. “I’ve decided after consultation with family that I can be most effective as a Member of Parliament by adopting an alcohol free lifestyle, To that end, over the holiday break, I have entered a wellness program.”
    Here. let me translate that into colloquial English for you:
    “After being told I’m a drunk by everyone in the family including the dog, I figured I better go cold turkey if I don’t want to screw up my political career. So over Christmas I went on the wagon to try and get dried out.”

  13. Maybe we should cut the guy some slack. We all know someone who has battled the bottle.
    He sure had a lot to say about Rob Ford though……..just sayin’

  14. Mr. Ford will demonstrate who the bigger man is by refraining from commenting about Mr. O’Regan.
    Seamus, take note.

  15. What brought him to Jesus? Was it something like his right hand, his left hand, and a pair of titties? What was the climatic event Seamus?

  16. “On July 9, 2010, he married his longtime partner, Steve Doussis, in Newfoundland.”
    Wasn’t titties.

  17. MP’s opposite should sit in the House with bottles of Screech (or pink gin) parked with the label facing SR….a silent heckle.

  18. “Maybe we should cut the guy some slack.”
    Turnabout is fair play. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. etc. etc. etc.
    People like Liberal MP Seamus O’Regan are not just folks with a different point of view.
    They are lying dirt bags who couldn’t get a hearing, let alone elected, if they honestly told voters their real point of view and their true goals.

  19. Exactly, and Oz, well said and so true.
    However, you can rest assured that, unlike with Rob Ford, the MMS will abide by his wishes and cover his hind end with expressions of sympathy.

  20. Now we know the reason Justin’s star candidate didn’t get a cabinet position. Kudos to Seamus for his spectacular usage of euphemisms.
