Mensch the Dense triggers Twitterstorm with disrespectful mistake about Leonard Cohen
See the tweet, above?
That woman used to be a Member of Parliament. How was she ever allowed such a position of responsibility?
It is a question that has tested the population of Twitter, where she has been lambasted left, right and centre by people with far more education, understanding and perception than Mensch the Dense will ever achieve.
My favourite:
If only Tchaikovsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Prokofiev & Shostakovich et al were on Twitter to tell her LC was Canadian. pic.twitter.com/PC3Awefnd1

Here are some more gems:
Presumably Mensch thinks Jeffrey Archer is a greater writer than Dostoyevsky and that Tarkovsky was no Michael Winner. pic.twitter.com/Nds9l27jM2

Louise Mensch thinks Leonard Cohen is American&Russia has no creative history. This from a woman that writes Mills&Boon for tory wives.

Louise Mensch has a point. Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, Pete Burns. Who has America got left? Just Kylie.

Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for giving me a good laugh this morning! But one tinged with sadness…what hope for the world when morons like Mensch can get into Parliament??
Well, first of all I wouldn’t call Leonard Cohen’s poetry and songs joyful, more melancholy, poignant and beautiful than happy clappy as far as I’m concerned. Second, Cohen was a Canadian whose mother was of Lithuanian-Russian descent hand he spent most of his life living on a Greek island not on the American mainland!
Lou Mensch is one really weird chick.
Why on earth would any sane person use the natural and tragic death of a Canadian artist in a tweet to attack Russia?
Mensch must have a lot of time on her hands to spend so much of it frittering it away twittering nonsense like a digital fishwife.
As they say in America: GET A LIFE!
My reply didn’t make it to your list :( Cohen was Music to slash your wrists to, but having seen him live he was certainly a real talent.
