Selective outrage

I see where Kim Campbell, who was Canada’s first female PM for about 15 minutes back in the nineties, has called out those slutty female news anchors who have the temerity to show bare arms on your evening newscast.

Well!

Bare arms undermine credibility, apparently.

Oh Kim!

Kim Kim Kim!

You have no idea how deluded you are.

Kim seems to think your evening news is about the news.

Get with the program, Kim. News is not news. It’s content. It’s entertainment. Us male viewers with the male gaze WANT to see bare arms…

By the way, and I ask this parenthetically, was there actually a TV show called “Naked News,” wherein the female anchor removed her clothing while reading the news? Seems I saw it once or twice.

I personally didn’t get it. I don’t need to see the news-reader jiggling her girls while she’s informing me of the latest suicide bombing in Baghdad. That’s a combo that short-changes both boobs and Baghdad.

But back to Kim.

Kim’s egregious breach of the protocols of political correctitude left me no option but to marvel at how out of touch this political icon is… but we expect this from Conservative politicos.

It also lead me to marvel at how quickly the story disappeared.

Had Stephen Harper or Patrick Brown or, god forbid, Donald Trump made such an asinine comment, we’d be hearing about it for days on end.

But Kim Campbell is Canada’s first woman PM.

Therefore, she gets a free pass.
