Emerson: Shocked and Appalled

Everybody: you’ve got to read Andrew Coyne on the Emerson controversy. We’re talking about the finest political writing since George Orwell.

And bookmark him, for heaven's sake.



Hedy Fry Speaks Out:

"When I say I am shocked, this is not simple shock. This is real shock," said Fry.

Eh? I think she just said she doesn't know what telling the truth means.


Ujjal Dosanjh Speaks Out:

“There is absolutely no principle attached to Mr. Emerson's decision, other than power."


Wait. Haven't I heard that before?

"There are no grand principles involved in this switch in positions -- just ambition." Stephen Harper.

Harper was speaking of Belinda Stronach. But Dosanjh’s comment is close enough to look like plagiarism; or is it a gag? After all, Dosanjh himself jumped parties to the Liberals. And he was the guy who is heard on tape offering Gurmant Grewal future considerations for crossing the floor.
