Also I don't see what's "unprofessional" about calling out someone, especially Levant, on their tactics and usually specious assertions. That's what the Twitter exchange was. On the loaded question reference - just because someone doesn't understand the reference, it doesn't make it actually offensive.
Actually Bunk...yes it does.

Nenshi should be above all that kind of stuff as there are other means to make his point, and as mayor of a metropolis the size of Calgary he should really try and use them.

He is a fabulous mayor and his handling of the flood crisis was simply outstanding. But this crap has to stop, he is a public figure who represents over a million people and for him to lower himself to the whole wife beating thing is astounding.

I think he should apologize immediately, explain what it means because i guarentee many many dont know about it, and then set a course for some civil discussion about the subject.
