Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

BC BlueNot a word was mentioned by any of the clique of “Mean Girls” that make up a select group of Ottawa Hill journos who ‘decide’ what gossip will be the official media topic and what won’t be.

  1. Found it particularly interesting how journos love to break every bit of gossip when it comes to politicians but circle the wagons when it comes to protecting one of their own. Does anyone think for one second that we wouldn’t be hearing juicy gossip from ‘anonymous sources’ about this event had it been soudas who caused the kerfuffle? What a joke…

  3. As soon as I saw “Mean Girls” and “unaccredited story in the Star,” I thought Susan Delacourt.
    Do I get a Gold Star?

  4. Yes you do batb. Susan just admitted to me on Twitter that she did author the story in question but claims the byline was chopped due to space constrictions.
    She still hasn’t responded to my query as to why there was enough space for her byline this morning but not enough now.

  5. Look, Susan Delacourt’s brother, John Delacourt, is a Liberal Party insider, having worked for Joe Volpe and Michael Ignatieff — and others in the LPC, no doubt.
    Susan Delacourt is no more a political “pundit” than I am. She’s a political — read, Liberal — insider who in no way can be counted on to report unbiased or fair stories on anything that’s happening on the Hill.
    She’s never made it a secret that she dislikes Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his CPC party. IMO, she should be taken off the political beat by both the Star and the CBC, but seeing as fairness and journalistic integrity have never seemed to concern either media outlet, why would they?

  6. Urnalism incest, oh we’re use to the liberal media crawling into bed together but usually they wait until we aren’t looking to cite their “Anonymous mythical sources”.

  7. Yes, but Susan has assured me it was a mysterious online thingy that caused her byline to disappear.
    BTW wasn’t it Susan who openly wept when Count Iggy packed it in on May 3rd?
    Meh…probably unrelated…

    I’m doing my best to be less soul dead when I wake up in the morning.

  10. A story making the rounds in Ottawa …
    Have you heard the one about the falling down drunk who
    approached a patron at Hy’s who was his girlfriend,
    an attractive MP?
    .
    The drunk asked the female MP, “what are you doing with him?
    I bucked his wife, so I can understand why he ditched her.
    My question is why would you go out with a loser like him?
    The patron asked the drunk: “have you lost your marbles as
    well as your ratings?”
    A few more insults followed.
    The patron told the drunk to get lost or he would tell his employer
    what a boor he was. The drunk replied he didn’t give a buck who he told.
    To be continued …
