Sure, but I think...

Smith was, let's remember, a media pundit in her past career(s) — known to workshop or test-drive different ideas or theories live on air. Rhetorical spaghetti flung on the wall.

I don't think so. It delves a little into "politics as sports," which I never appreciate, but Jason Markusoff isn't prone to carrying water for Smith or the UCP.

The whole thing was ill-advised, and the execution makes it even worse.

In the picture, the white line crossing it out looks more like vandalism than part of the actual ad.
