Strange that the WSJ editor normally assigned to the Latin-America beat would be the one to write a drooling, down-the-throat, lust bomb on Harper but I suppose a conservative flack has to take what she can get these days.
O'Grady is a right-wing spin merchant of the highest order, her only saving grace being that she is more articulate than most of her ilk. This despite the fact that she has been regularly challenged for making completely unsubstantiated claims and statements about events in Latin-America and led the cacophony howls in defending the activities of the disgraced Bush administration advisor on Latin-America, Otto Reich.
In any case, the order in which to take all this in, (if you can stomach the whole WSJ piece), is to first read Impolitical, where you can find the important capsules.
Then, if your last meal is reasonably well digested, take in the WSJ article. There you will learn that Harper spent more than 30 minutes talking to the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. That alone should tell you something when one considers his relationship with the media in, you know, his own country. In any case, you will read these words from Mary Anastasia O'Grady:
There is a vacuum in conservative leadership in North America and on the world stage, and Mr. Harper is stepping into it. His objective would appear to be the restoration of liberal-democratic resolve against tyranny.Then... come back here and weigh upon the perception and skill of Mary Anastasia O'Grady by watching this:
O'Grady doesn't realize how much of a favour she just did... for those who want Harper gone.
