Now I'm not one to defend Peter MacKay...

But over the "dog" brouhaha I have to wonder at this assertion:

'The barely audible exchange allegedly has one MP asking "What about your dog?" and someone responding, "You have her." Other reports of the exchange have the question as being: "Don't you care about your dog?" '

'Opposition MPs have said they saw MacKay gesture to Stronach's empty seat as he made the comment.'

You're telling me that Liberal MPs are sure that they saw Peter MacKay point out to the one of 308 seats of the house commons that belonged to Belinda Stronach?

They know for sure? No really? Not even a shadow of a doubt, that out of 308 seats he might just might have been pointing to a different one?

Heck, the man may have done the crime. I just find their cerainty a little dubious.

  1. For the record, the recording is from the offical House recordings, not from any of the Liberals.

    But I agree with your premise about the hypocrisy... maybe that's why Dosanji hasn't commented on this matter...

    Mea Culpa. I had assumed it came from some Liberal.

    Changes forthcoming.

    Liberal hypocrisy, like Liberal hubris apparently knows no bounds.
