Crack Conservative Communications

ik - from Paul Wells' blog over at Maclean's. The Kenney referenced below is no relation I assure you.

Amazingly...

...this isn't even the biggest problem the Conservatives had today.

Here's the title of a news release the Conservatives put out this morning:

"Kenney to respond to Liberal attack on multicultural Canadians"

And here, from CP, is the dénouement:

"Jason Kenney held a news conference in which he complained — incorrectly — that Martin speechwriter Scott Feschuk had insulted ethnic minorities. Feschuk had written a humorous note on the Liberal party website referring to 'socially awkward Omni subscribers.'

"Kenney thought Feschuk was talking about viewers of Omni TV, a multicultural channel based in Toronto. In fact, he was actually referring to now-defunct Omni magazine, a science and technology publication long cherished by nerds."
