THE CONSERVATIVE HIPSTERS

POLITICS: A COLUMNIST IS LIKE A BLIND MAN WITH A POOR SENSE OF SMELL....
Comparing the federal FIBerals to a spousal abuser?
Now that's an analogy!
The problem is that Lorrie Goldstein, who has some great commentary on FIBeral mismanagement as well as common sense suggestions for government, will now have to spend weeks defending himself from cries of insensitivity from battered women's groups, etc.
And to be honest, he did leave out the more graphic symptoms of an abuser--like the proclivity for the cowards to beat the hell out of women.
I get his point. The government is abusing taxpayer's trust, faith and above all, money.
But the point will be lost because of a ill-conceived attempt to illustrate it.
I expect sensationalism on the front page of the Sun, not on the editorial page.
