Today, from John Geddes:
The Liberal leader spoke of sympathy for victims and concern about underlying causes, as is proper, but failed to express a leader’s necessary outrage and convey a sense of how justice must be done. The Prime Minister was far better on outrage and justice, but conveniently blurred crucial distinctions about those other possible reactions.
Okay, so why is it necessary for a leader to express outrage? Why not sadness, why not disappointment? Why must it be 'outrage?' Also, is it important for them to express outrage if they don't feel outrage? What if they feel saddened, should they act outraged? Do we want a leader who will insincerely monkey an emotion to satisfy the will of the idiot masses?
How one-dimensional we all are these days.
