Friday, August 27, 2004 i am so fucking pissed off. oh, and i'm back.. i'll explain my recent absence in a bit. suffice to say i've been a rather busy boy as of late... i've been in awful way today for a number of reasons but then i read this: Liberal MP has no apology for calling U.S. missile defence supporters idiots SUE BAILEY OTTAWA (CP) - Prime Minister Paul Martin has urged Carolyn Parrish to withdraw her latest anti-American slur but hasn't demanded she apologize. The maverick Liberal MP says she won't back down. Parrish was just stating the obvious when she called missile defence supporters a "coalition of the idiots," she said in an interview. And she'd do it again. "I believe in free speech and I am a colourful speaker. I occasionally will use terms that other people find bold. "That's me, and I'm going to stop trying to fit into some cookie-cutter mould that somebody else has tried to design for me." Martin wasn't pleased. .... Parrish made international headlines last year for publicly muttering: "Damn Americans, I hate the bastards." She landed in hot water again Wednesday when she told a small anti-missile-defence rally: "We are not joining the coalition of the idiots. We are joining the coalition of the wise." .... "I did become concerned that the issue was going to be me and . . . the word (idiots)," she explained Thursday. "And I just thought: 'Ugh. Darn. Here we go again.' "Then I settled down and gave it some serious thought and said: 'No, I'm not going to back down from this.' " Canadians should be concerned that missile defence could speed the global weapons race and spur rogue countries to design missiles that could breach such a shield, Parrish says. She has been speaking on the issue with little media interest until now, she added. "Suddenly, because there's one word in there that people find very exciting, I'm getting tons of coverage. It's a criticism of the media, if I may be so bold." Paul Cellucci, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, told the CBC that Parrish is entitled to her opinion. "Canada is a free country, people can express their opinions how they see fit," he said in Goose Bay, Nfld. reading this did wonders. quasi: 'the poisoned well' "you won't live long, but you may write the perfect song. please excuse those that choose not to play along.." posted by downtown | 2:46 AM |
