I've worn dresses with higher IQs

According to Tyee blogger The Hook, it was Blogging Con Stephen Taylor who "produced" the now infamous "Canadians are stupid" video, in which May appears to say: “I think Canadians are stupid… I fundamentally agree with that assessment."

"I produced the video," Taylor told The Tyee in an e-mail. "The audio is taken unedited from an episode of TVO's The Agenda."

Stephen Taylor confirms this.

But when Buckdog reposted it, he got this response, purportedly from John Bennett, Director of Communications, Green Party of Canada :

You are knowingly asisting in slander get it down or you face legal action us & TVO.
Journalism is more than repeating. You have a responsibility to verify the facts.
Get get it down now.

Not wanting to be "asisting" in slander, Buckdog did "Get get it down now".
We breathlessly await to see if the Green Party of Canada "will seek means to prevent legal proceedings further slander".

In the meantime, why did Buckdog get threatened with a SLAPP, but not Stephen Taylor, who produced the video and is sometimes referred to as an unofficial blogging communications director for the Cons?

It's been a bad day all round for cumunikashunz drekters.

Update : Noni gives us a good clear clip : What May really said
and The Agenda responds to the whole brouhaha with Elizabeth May, the blogosphere, and pronoun trouble., including a short vid of the event.
P.S. John Bennett is still an asshat.
