Saskboy. My handlers have been telling me to limit my public exposure during the campaign. I should rethink that.

Alison. As I posted in 'the other place', I'll wear a bowtie, but not around my neck.

no, it totally gives you street cred with the generation-y demo who grew up in the nineties. actually, we may have to vote for you now.

(btw, if you ever get a chance to see screech's stand-up act, go for it: the funniest and dirtiest thing we saw until we saw borat.)

2006-10-24T12:46:00.000-07:00

JasonBoBason: Thanks, dude. As for me being the funniest guy around, it depends on what your def'n of 'around' is. I can say with certainty that I'm the funniest guy in this room right now... but I happen to be alone. I agree that the MSM has devoted loads too much attention to this when there are bigger fish to fry -- as in, say, the topic of actual fish frying (poaching?) in the simmering waters that were once the Arctic ocean.

Scout and Bear: WHOAH, kids. Who told you you could debate the issues here? Scout's okay because she did include the word 'fart' in her comment. Bear -- please try to be a little more flippant in the future. Thanks.

Everyone: I was a little little disappointed to see one report in the MSM refer to the Pete-Belinda nonsense as "Dog-gate". Helloooo? Wagger-gate, people, Wagger-gate. Again, for the record, I'm making an exception to my no "Gate" policy in the naming of scandals. Two other execptions I'd allow in the interest of comedy and having the MSM sound like jackasses: if there is ever a scandal involving an actual gate ("Gategate") or the Watergate hotel (um... "Watergategate"?).

oh,and bear......magna is a public company, the investors vote for the board, so don't blame belinda for that.

oh come on...bringing personal life into politics ...

2006-10-23T15:26:00.000-07:00

oh come on...bringing personal life into politics is damned hideous, and 'dog' is a sexist remark....if he did it in off hours at a bar , then mackay wouldn't be in his position of authority. i'm not a lib. i'm non partisan, don't have respect save for a very few.
i have never, ever, heard a woman call a guy a dog. pig, yes, and that seems to be the divide in gender name hurling. men get called pigs by women, women get called dogs by men when they're brining out the razor tongues.

i don't give a hoot if stronache doesn't have any women on her board...that's her loss. i don't like stronache. but have we heard her call mackay names? huh?

i also don't like the way it was reduced to a tabloid story, but that's the media, isn't it, they had the choice to treat the story with more class.

it boils down to abuse of power and settting poor role model example for youth and children. if people can't see it was sexist, perhaps they could remove their blinders, read up more on some stats that show the inequities of gender. it's bloody tiresome, i've been living with this kind of shite for 50 years. it's no better then getting called a savage injun. wake up! is it ok to make racist remarks ?

and what's all the hype about stronache being a ho and hussy etc. , oh, and homewrecker, for being with domi???????? peter can sleep around but she can't? domi isn't responsible for his own decisions? no, too easy to blame it on 'the other woman'. this is where men and stepford have to stand up and take responsibility.

what kind of world do you want for you dauughters and grandaughters? the same unequal one? nice, real nice. it ain't gonna change if you don't wake up.

there.

now. as for the fart havril, i think that was most appropriate given the circumstances. was it sulphorous though?

2006-10-23T06:50:00.000-07:00

just curious - everyone keeps talking about how women have been disparaged by a remark made by an ex about an ex. Once you realize that Belinda's company Magna has NO women on it's board of directors, the credibility argument becomes completely baseless. This is nothing more than crass politics and the Liberals are using it to deflect us from the real debate!

AWESOME post.Honestly, I think it's - I don't mean...

2006-10-22T15:01:00.000-07:00

AWESOME post.

Honestly, I think it's - I don't mean to sound academic or pompous here - I think it's a sign of our extreme decadence that we have a press actually talking about this.

First off, a full 90% of MPs should be disciplined for poor behaviour - if we were serious about this, MacKay wouldn't have walked into a HoC where this was generally acceptable. The Liberals pressing him on are every bit as culpable here.

I don't think it was sexist in anyway - MPs insult all the time. If she'd called him a dog, would that be sexist?

It doesn't need to be sexist to be stupid - most MPs are total jerk-offs in the House.

You're the funniest guy around, man!

Hey, kids...Alex: Thanks. I'm sorta proud of that ...

2006-10-22T13:11:00.000-07:00

Hey, kids...

Alex: Thanks. I'm sorta proud of that one, notwithstanding that it's a pet peeve of mine when journalists label a scandal as 'something-gate. Watergate was the name of an actual hotel, people. I'm pretty sure there are no hotels called Bingogate or Tunagate. Anyway, I couldn't resist.

Atilla: Glad to give you a giggle. Your dogosophy post today gave me a ponder. And fleas. What's up with that?

Saskboy (1): If you mean that bogus Canadian Idol footage, forget it. That's been debunked. You can totally tell it's Ben Mulroney throwing his voice.

Scout: I almost forgot about the chattering penis. Sigh -- those were good times at the Leg'. As for video proof of the Petey-mouth incident, the only camera in the chamber is focused on whoever has the floor, so none of the off-screen heckling gets caught on tape. But the comment is there on the audio track, which some networks have aired. It's muffled, but it's there. I think I also heard Myron Thompson farting, but that was appropriate in the context of questions on greenhouse gas emmissions.

Saskboy (2): Okay, that footage is legit. But that's not Rona droning on, it's the big oil lobby throwing its voice.

2006-10-22T12:54:00.000-07:00

Liberal.ca has the tape, but it's of RONa'h Ambrose's face, with MacKay's claimed voice in the background while she drones on.

2006-10-22T12:20:00.000-07:00

loved 'wagger-gate' too.

imagine, i mean, isn't this so typcial of canaduh....the biggest scandal we can come up with isn't the magnitude of a 'foley-gate', asides from sponsorhip scam-shams, we have the two 'purdiest' looking mp's have an open fling, one crosses the floor, the other freaks and does the little boy crying routine, completly ignoring his position of authority and 'power' (what , he stuck his finger in a live outlet?), and getting his'whoa is me' jabs in.

i'll admit i don't think it was appropriate when b.c. mla joy macphail set off the little wind up , jumping penis on her table at the legislature, but SHE APOLOGIZED.

the best mackay's come up with is, pardon the pun, cocky answers. i think i'll email the little s.o.b.. and steve just to see what kind of auto reply i get in a couple of months.

besides the deaf interprator woman, aren't there stations who broacast the procedings live (the most boring television in the world) and would have it on tape????? i mean, sometimes you can turn on cable and just see an empty house.....the camera just runs, and they have to back the tape up and archive it for the crtc. it's gotta be there somewhere.

so, when it emerges (unless the cons have some new secret law that prevents it), mackay may be spending time eating his own dog crap, er, pardon me, his borrowed dog's crap.

these frat boys.....didn't like 'em in school, don't like 'em in politics. 'big man on campus' translates to = 'mommy and daddy spoiled me'.
