Hear no evil, speak no evil

Speaking of disconnect. The Globe and Mail are doing their part for Paul Martin. Conservative ads are panned as "attack ads" that are characterized as a "new round of Liberal-bashing." Deplorably, in the eyes of the leftwing Globe, the Conservatives are focusing on an election that paints the Liberals as "mired in corruption." What part of that isn't true?

When David Frum wrote "Now we are learning that the Liberal Party in Quebec was effectively run by organized crime bosses - and that when one Liberal leader objected, he was threatened with death." he wasn't kidding. After having covered the Gomery inquiry for months and following Chretien's jail-deserving performance in office, no one is in a better position to know how mired the Liberals are in corruption than the Globe and Mail. It's a remarkable performance of 'hear no evil, see no evil..." when it comes to the leftwing and wholly corrupt Liberals. A real Pravda performance.

The response of Martin to the ads? In a Bill Clinton chutzpah moment, he called for civility in Parliament.
