Parrish is Burning

[Cock Throppled]

Not really, but Carolyn Parrish has finally been tossed by Martin, and about time, too. I can't stand Bush and his cronies either, but tarring all Americans with the same brush and doing it as crudely as Parrish did was lazy and stupid. She should have been given the heave-ho after her first comments when she refused to apologize.

She mainly got turfed because she mouthed off against Paul Martin and the government.

 

[Oldfart]

She had the courage to say that the emperor has no clothes.

If someone has a problem with the way another person, or group of people, let's say George W. Bush and the American population, she has every right to say so. When that person occupies a public office, as Carolyn Parrish does, she has a responsibility to make any comments she chooses to make in a dignified, well-thought-out manner. Carolyn Parrish's comments were too simple and ignorant even for a PERB discussion. The fact that she revelled in her notoriety after making a string of idiotic comments is evidence enough that she needed to go. Even if I may agree with some of her opinions about George W. Bush, I am glad to see the back of her as a member of government, and I hope that her constituents will show her the door once and for all when the next general federal election comes around. Then we can read about her in ten or fifteen years when Maclean's magazine does a 'Where are they now' piece about has been news figures of the past. Good riddance.

Courage is not the word...she was a four year old in an adult body. She could have made her point without name-calling.

 

[curmudgeon]

Ironically, she might wield more influence as an independant than as a liberal backbencher. With the current make up of parliment, it conceivable that the independants (her and Chuck Cadman) could make or break legislation (liberal + NDP MPs = Conservative + BQ MPs).

I think she made a mistake in mouthing off to Martin, after all he is her party leader, but she has every right to express how she feels about Bush and those IGNORANT, middle american idiots that re-elected him.

I love the US, I am a dual citizen, but I live in Canada for a reason.

The mighty empire of America better re think its foreign policies, or its future will hold the same as all the other empire in Earth's past.

Carolyn Parrish

As a member of a large party she gets a lot of benefits such as the Liberal election machine. A Liberal should stay loyal most of the time. She literally fell off the team boss, or rather she jumped off the team bus.
