Now Belinda is not just a "dog" but also a "bitch"
Recently, on a Vancouver radio station Norman Spector who is a journalist and former diplomat announced on a live broadcast that he thought Belinda Stronach was a "bitch". As I only saw this clip on the news, I'm not sure what his reasoning for using this inappropriate name was; however, I'm sure the reason was nothing that warranted such slander. Spector claimed that he used the word "bitch" in his everyday vocabularly and that he thought it fairly defined Miss Stronach. This unprofessional outburts, along with the fact that the Speaker of the House has refused to deal anymore with the comments the Peter MacKay allegedly made towards Belinda demonstrate how the defamation of women poltical figures in being marginalized and being pushed under the table.
Personally, I am inclined to believe that the reason Mr. Spector really believes Mrs. Stronach is a "bitch" is because she humiliated Peter Mackay who is a man. If a male politician were to do the same thing he would never be deemed a "bitch" or any other derogatory term.
What do you think?
