-- again!

NatNewsWatch/CDNPress: Peter MacKay says he regrets how ‘stinking albatross’ comment was viewed

• MacKay made the remark after the last federal election in referring to how Scheer was dogged by questions during the campaign and afterwards about same-sex marriage and abortion.

Beware the curse, Petey, lest it fall upon you and not the rival upon whom you flung (flang?) the bird.

Petey needs to regret his own epithets rather than accusing others of placing faulty interpretations upon them. Otherwise, he's in danger of effectively cursing his own ship.

"Stinking"?  Not once did Samuel Taylor Coleridge use the word "stinking" in his famous poem.

He did say that the majestic bird was dead, killed by an idiot sailor who had failed to consider that it was a bringer of good luck.

It would be best for Petey to treat the dead more gently, lest he bring more misery upon himself.

Why do I say "more" misery?  Well, lest it's been forgotten, let me point out that he's made this kind of derogatory error before -- hurling an innocent animal as an epithet.

CBC: Stronach demands MacKay apologize for alleged 'dog' comment

• He refused to answer questions from reporters on whether he would issue an apology, and said the Liberals were trying to distract people with"silly and scurrilous" allegations.
• "They can check the record of Hansard. It's not there. It's not there. I said nothing about a dog."

Peter MacKay thought that saying "It's not there" twice, would strengthen his case.

This is how the guy works: if it's not in Hansard, it didn't happen -- even if it did -- even if he said it only so that those nearest him could hear him use the word "dog" to describe a female by whom he'd been spurned. He implied she was ugly, and that all dogs are ugly as well.

Dog lovers rise up!  Don't vote for Peter MacKay. It's crucial that voters remember that this is how MacKay operates. If it isn't in writing, it wasn't said, and if it is in writing, it's been misinterpreted.
 
Well, he can't deny he's in cahoots with the Russians; here's the proof - photo at left - and also proof that he dated Condoleezza Rice. (This is how the MSM, and Peter, draw conclusions when low on ideas. Half might be false, the other half might just sell copy.)

Truth be told, if any animal is to be rhetorically summoned here, let it be the weasel, because that animal fits MacKay's personality to a T (as it also seems to describe Justin Trudeau):

From Live Science:

• Before killing prey, weasels will bob back and forth and hop in a dance meant to intimidate the other animal.

Like the weasel, Poor Peter has no heart with which to soften his blows. If you bang on his chest you're likely to hear a loud clang.

I'm not saying this to support MacKay's victims. I was never a fan of Belinda Stronach either, but it speaks volumes that she had to actually cross the floor to the Liberals in order to put some space between herself and MacKay.

MacKay, apparently still as juvenile as he was back then, and after shopping assiduously around somehow managed to attract an actual wife -- a former beauty queen, of course -- and fathered several children. I hope he at least remembers that the Albatross mates for life.

At the very least, if he eats all the cookies in the jar, chances are he'll suggest it might have been raided by his kids.  "Might have" means he isn't exactly placing the blame elsewhere; just attempting to take the spotlight off his sins -- as usual.

Why do I get the feeling that Stephen Harper is loitering in the background waiting his moment to step into the electoral fray for another go-around?  Not only does the image below suggest that anyone near MacKay should watch his back but, if that message catches on, MacKay himself should check who's hiding in the wings.

Now, here's something we should know about the plight of the stately Albatross (talk about MacKay kicking the enemy while it's down!):

GlobalHealthFilm: Albatross (2017) Directed by Chris Jordan, 97 mins

• Albatross is a powerful visual journey into the heart of a gut-wrenching environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on Earth, tens of thousands of albatross chicks lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic.
