Funny Man...

I love how when the Liberals come within a hairs breath of defeat, the opposition is forcing an election and using dirty tactics. But when the Liberals call a snap vote catching the conservatives off guard they're only accused of dirty tactics.

Case in point:

The Liberals caught Conservatives flatfooted Thursday night, teaming up with the Bloc Quebecois and the NDP to cut off budget debate with surprise procedural tactics. The Liberals and NDP then used their numerical advantage to swiftly pass $4.6 billion in budget amendments proposed by the New Democrats.

You can almost imagine this journalist salivating at the mouth as he writes these words. Caught the Conservatives "flatfooted" and now they have "numerical advantage." It could almost pass a Liberal press release if tweaked a little bit.

"This was standard parliamentary procedure," Martin said as he toured a flood zone in High River, Alta. "Everyone is aware of parliamentary procedure.

Forgive me, but where in parliamentary procedure does it say that the government can ignore a clear vote of confidence? Where does it say that calling a snap vote on a budget bill is in order? Heck, it may not be against the law, but sure aint saintly.

Martin also accused the Conservatives of still sleeping with the Bloc.

"On the fundamental issue of the budget they voted against it," he noted.

Let me get this right... On the eve of Martin teaming up with the seperatists so that he can pass his spending spree socialist prostituted budget he's still accusing the Tories of being in bed with the seperatists?

Paul Martin is a funny, funny man.
