Strange slander...

"New" NDP hopeful Edward Schreyer gives a stinging indictment of Paul Martin, and doesn't try and hide any anti-American sentiment in the process...

CBC
"I believe for starters that we cannot really get at the main issues in a way that is meaningful until we manage to straighten out and clean up parliament and parliamentary control of cabinet, and through cabinet, control of a Prime Minister's Office, a PMO, that is getting out of control and almost presidential."

Am I missing something here? When did being called "almost Presidential" become an insult?
Ohhhh, Right... Over decades of blatant liberal anti-Americanism.
