Hey Charlie, is this death going to help Ignatieff politically as well?

Charlie Smith is seriously putting his paper's tagline of "Vancouver's News and Entertainment Weekly" in serious doubt - on both fronts.
Charlie Smith’s follow-up attempt at humour to his post on the potential surrounding Jean Chretien’s death is once again in poor taste. He just doesn’t get it.

Although, this was written by Stephen Hui, so maybe Charlie’s post-script of this loss of life is on its way.

An absolutely classless piece of journalism by Charlie Smith

Chretien is once again fighting back after successful brain surgery last week.
Readers of this website will know that I have been unafraid to take on Charlie Smith of the Georgia Straight when I felt it to be appropriate, but at the same time give praise when deserved.
But Smith’s blog post over the weekend takes the cake as one of the most classless pieces of “journalism” I have been exposed to in a very long time.
Why am I so harsh, you may ask? Well, speculating about the political benefit of someone’s death, never mind the fact that the person in question is a former Prime Minister, truly crosses a line as far as I am concerned.

FACT OF THE DAY
Quote OF THE DAY
“Perhaps it was my silk dress or the new perfume I’ve been wearing lately. When I asked Suzanne Anton what her New Year’s resolution was, she replied, “To kiss a pretty girl!” and pecked me on the cheek.” – Writer Emily Barca describing her encounter with the lone NPA City Councillor on New Year’s Eve.
