Is Stephen Harper afraid of Joyce Arthur?

Remember the old Charlie Brown cartoons, where the grownups used to say "Wah wah wah Wah wah wah wah wah wah Wah wah wah wah wah wah"? And how the Peanut characters didn't have a clue what the grownups were saying? And how they just didn't care what they were saying either? Probably because it wasn't important?



Well last week I read Joyce Arthur's recent posting on rabble.ca. I think it was about Wah wah wah. Here's the link. But don't bother reading it. It's just more of the same Wah wah wah.

But what I really want to know is this. Why does Stephen Harper even listen to Arthur? Doesn't he hear the Wah wah wah? Is he deaf? Or is it something else?
