Kenney Outraged

The new liberal ads have Jason Kenney's knickers in twist.

Readers might remember Mr. Kenney as the man who was also outraged by Liberal Blogger Scott Feschuk's comment about Omni subscribers. Kenney was outraged at the obvious slag against a multicultural TV station.

Feschuck was referring to a now-defunct science mag. I was shocked that Kenny "reads" television, but I digress.

Now Kenney is outraged again.

Kenney's previous screw-up aside, I wonder who thought it was a good idea to use Kenney? As outrage spokespeople go, he's an odd choice. He does the outrage schtick almost as well as Rob Anders.

I'd have used Rona Ambrose, or Rahim Jaffer, or gosh, if you're outraged about a percieved slight against the military.... what about retired B.Gen Gordon O'Connor?

I guess Rona, Rahim and Gordon may not get to join Mr. Kenney on the way toRideau Hall.

Frankly though, I am not sure the outrage schtick will work.

The Tories went negative in the first week of the campaign. Stephen Harper has cut a close line, denying their ads were negative, and stating he was just"putting the facts in front of Canadians."


The fact is a negative doesn't deal with the facts, it deals with a point of view. Denying this erodes credibility. And credibility doesn't come back because nobody like a "cute" politician who seems to evade responsibility for their actions.

Good luck with that, Stephen.
