Rex Murphy- Wrong again Pt II.

Dear Rex,

Exemplary Pundit-Dung!

Well done! Thanks so much. Frees me from having to read the National Post in order to get my daily dose.

By proffering more text borne of partisan purpose you confirm my suspicion you are now slumming with formerly lesser mudslingers such as the Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer and Micheal Gerson who also exhibit the basest of political instincts. Like them, you are seemingly prone to penning empty analysis dressed up as commentary. Reasoned observations seem to be at a premium this silly-season and you clearly have succumbed to the dark side.

Supposedly erudite, you are now little more than a mimic of the Republican partisans. Just another chattering-blatherer seeking to advance the specious tenets of the GOP's anti-Obama doctrine south of the border. Moreover, your need to denigrate America's Democratic nominee belies your conflicted and tangled Tory root structure. Predisposed to eschewing change, your insecurities prevent you from looking deeper into the substance Obama offers. Too bad you didn't make a real effort to "drill, drill, drill" down a little deeper past the facile interpretations offered by the tired frightened US right-wing. Apparently the one's you really think are 'empty vessels' are we, the readers.

Is Obama perfect? No.
Does he need to simplify his message? Yes.
But does this mean his message is empty? Certainly not.

Had your criticism attempted to juxtapose the meat of Obama's platform against that offered by his rival John McCain you may have been more persuasive. As it is, you are just another tired scribe devoid of objectivity and given to cynicism. A sad mind capable of better things.

Again, well done.


p.s. Looking forward to 'Cross Country' tomorrow - anticipate your droning monologue that will preface the issue of the day will once again suck up all the oxygen in my vicinity and force me out-of-doors to mow my lawn.
