Via boss fired for Olympian Error
The purge continues. My favourite quote from this loser:
Mr. Pelletier, 69, responded to her accusations by questioning her credibility. "I don't want to be mean, but she's a poor girl who deserves pity, a girl who doesn't have a husband that I know of. She has the stress of being a single mother who has economic responsibilities. Basically, I find that she deserves pity."
Which PR person was asleep and let this slip past them?
An Olympic double-Gold medalist can't deal with stress? "Ooooh, lookit the poor wittle girl who doesn't have a man, because ya know, women can't make it by themselves..." What an asshole.
Mr. Pelletier also suggested Ms. Bedard couldn't get along with her co-workers because Olympic athletes had difficulty adapting to life out of the limelight.
Uh. I'm really trying to think of something biting to say here, but I'm speechless that such an idiotic comment could be made in public by someone who, conceivably should know better. Then again, I could be giving them more credit than they deserve. I mean the "uncredible single mom" tactic had a best before 1970 expiry date.
If they're found not guilty of ripping off Canadian taxpayers [doubtful!] they should at least be fired for being so stupid to make assinine comments such as these...
Mr. LeFrancois also challenged Ms. Bedard's statements."I don't understand these people," he said, referring to the former Olympian. "Do they dream at night? Do they take pills? I don't know."
Ah yes, the tried and true tactic of personally attacking the whistle-blower rather than defending the actual issue.
Ms. Bedard, who now works administering real estate she owns, said she would like her job back.
She should get it.
UPDATE: Paul at Light and Dark has similar thoughts...
AMEN!!
