Jan Wong is Depressed - How sad...

While I don't have much sympathy for Warren Kinsella's complaint about Jan Wong, oh he of the Barney reference and the well placed picture, I do agree that Jan Wong is quite a piece of work.  How unsurprising then to learn that Heather Mallick is a friend and an admirer of her's.  Oh, how sad it is that poor Jan Wong was persecuted by the evil management-types and MPs for a slight against Canada's unslightable province.  (and how delicious in that it's probably the only thing she ever wrote that I agree with!).

Mallick writes of that persecution:

"... and in an event that is so purely Stalinist I still cannot quite believe it."

Still, what a relief it must have been for Ms. Wong that it wasn't Maoist or they might have disappeared her...
