Michaëlle's blood-thirsty ways

[frandroid]

As a culturally sensitive vegan, I would approve of Michaëlle Jean's seal eating and hunting, if only she wasn't conflating inuit seal hunting with east coast seal hunting... So not the same thing.

Gotta love those anonymous comments!

Also, now she can talk about how down-with-the-common-Inuit she is cause she ate a seal heart. Unconvincing. It's like Harper (or worse, Ignatieff) wearing a hockey sweater. A trophy hunter with an entourage.

That said, and speaking of cultural sensitivity, I think 'neanderthal' might have been a bit, er, ill-considered as an outraged epithet in this context. (I think it was PETA but I forget)

The "neanderthal" comment from PETA flagged me as well. It makes me wonder if anyone in their press office, at any point, figured it might be a bad idea to compare Inuits to neanderthals.

Then again, they did just protest the AKC dressed up as fucking Klansmen. Yeah, no chance of PR blowback there.
