Kate and others have posted this video on their sites, too. Jay’s commentary sums it up.
PS: long time readers know that I too think “Canadians are stupid” about a lot of things — but I’m not running for PM.
UPDATE:
I understand there is some dispute about what May meant and what she really said.
The same thing is going on right now with Obama’s “Lipstick on a Pig” comment.
Prager says Obama wasn’t calling Palin a “pig”. Hewitt is convinced that he was. Their callers are debating it and they are replaying the audio over and over again.
However, neither the networks nor Obama’s camp are threatening radio show hosts with lawsuits because people are playing the tape, analyzing Obama’s own words then drawing their own possibly faulty conclusions.
That the Greens are issuing such threats that says more about Elizabeth May than that clip ever could.
