If there’s a word you rarely associate with the political left, it might just be “glee”. (It might also be “highly-paid”. But let’s run with “glee”.)
Well, rarely-associate no longer. Scott Piatkowski revels in schadenfreude over the spiky beds that Conservatives and Liberals have made for themselves over the past while. A sample:
A question for former Mulroney Cabinet Minister John Crosbie:
When did you decide that people changing parties was contributing to “the democratic deficit” in Canada? Can we assume that it was sometime after you left the Liberal Party (where your own provincial leadership aspirations had been thwarted) to become a Conservative?A question for Prime Minister Paul Martin:
When did you decide to call on all parties to restore the dignity of the House of Commons and political discourse in general? Was it before or after one of your ministers compared Conservative MPs to the Ku Klux Klan? Was it before or after another of your ministers referred to a Conservative MPs low placement on “the gene pool”?
Go read, and – depending on your political stripe – laugh or wince. (I laughed. Lots.)
