I don't have time to quote all of Blatchford's attacks on this woman but I feel like Blatchford wrote this article as if she's personally offended that this young lady didn't remember the make and model of the car from 13 years ago. Nor whether she was wearing hair extensions.
Furthermore, I totally agree with the witness to dismiss such "inconsistencies" as trivial. I'm no lawyer, that's just my opinion. I couldn't remember an event from last week in that much detail, let alone more than a decade ago.

She was pretty specific about how the car made her feel though, which is a little odd. It was still a VW though, and a GTI Gulf, which the writer claims bears no resemblance, but to a woman with no knowledge of cars, she probably just sees a little VW and assumes it's a Bug.
I am curious about the actual offense though. Was there something else or is him pulling her hair overly hard once, while making out, what the charge is for? Seems pretty tame. I've been with a girl who bit me hard enough to make me yell "ow". I asked her not to bite so hard and that was it. She did it a few more times throughout our relationship in the heat of the moment. Is that sexual assault? The article says he did it and then said "Do you like that? Or do you like this..?" Did he do something else? The article just states he went back to being a "nice guy". Other stories seemed worse, so it makes me curious why this person was on the stand at all.
On a side note, Ghomeshi is 48?! He looks about 30.
