*sigh* It's a sad day when a moron does not know the difference between "fired" and "resign".

It's also a sad day when some moron, who *might* have been "telling the truth" as they saw it, however in so telling further embarass their employer and strain a relationship between said employer and their allies.

Speaking as a registered Liberal I'm baffled at how stupidly the Chretien government has acted in the past with regards to the Bush administration. During the election, Chretien's nephew (then ambassador to the U.S.) called Gore a 'friend of Canada' and Bush as someone who routinely forgets the name of our prime minister. That was major misstep #1.

Next we have this little situation here. You Americans should be informed that Francoise Ducros is universally hated in the capital of our country as an ultra-abrasive woman who can't keep her tongue in check - though she has some amazing other political talents. Chretien has made an enormous amount of silly moves lately that are making a lot of us wonder what the hell is going on, and although I for one admire the man for his incredible reign in Ottawa it's a good thing it's coming to an end. Even though a large number of people may agree with Ms. Ducros this is NOT acceptable behaviour coming from so high up.

That's the important distinction. You don't see bush saying how he's like to see Saddamn raped by a camel, even if it did happen to fall into his fantasies. Some things leaders just should not say, and this was one of them. It's totally counter productive.

Yup. She was stupid to say it, even if she did think it. Those French, they just speak their minds! Sometimes good....sometimes bad. :p

Would I stop in the middle of a public service announcement and yell "The supposedly female reporter second from my right looks like a man"? Same example of an opinion that shouldn't be voiced.

Skoorb @ MrsSkoorb: Do you two just sit side-by-side posting? It's practically impossible to post between the two of you at times.
"IBTL" now becomes IBTS - In Between The Skoorbs. :D
And if any of you perverts takes that the wrong way, well ... your own twisted mind, not mine. :confused:
