| Canadian MP Dumped After Anti-Bush TV Stunt... |
| 2004-11-18 |
| Prime Minister Paul Martin expelled renegade Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish from the party's caucus on Thursday, citing her "unacceptable" behaviour. Martin told reporters that while he has defended the controversial MP's right to speak in the past, he "cannot, as leader of our party and the government caucus, tolerate behaviour that demeans and disrespects others." Parrish, who represents the constituency of Mississauga-Erindale, is known for her outspoken remarks about Americans and U.S. President George W. Bush. Her ouster from caucus follows the release this week of footage from CBC-TV's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, in which she is shown stomping on a Bush action figure. The skit was filmed as Bush's office announced he would make a state visit to Ottawa later this month. |

| #12 Dissing the leadership of your own party too often is bad for your political longevity. This is the case here. It had nothing to do with her Bush bashing. |

| #11 Mrs. D. we are referring to, of course, the four legged sort of Boxer... Jones didn't have a chance... |

| #10 Update: Stomping on Bush was NOT the reason why Parrish was booted from caucus. Ontario caucus chair Sarmite Bulte was asked why it's OK to bash the president of the United States, but not the Liberal team. "In any situation there's always a straw that breaks the camel's back and when she attacks our team – each and every member of our caucus and the leader – I think enough is enough." Source. |

| #8 BTW, Boxers are very forgiving animals. You wouldn't say that if you knew Barbara. |

| #7 A Canadian politician sneers at Bush. Do I care? |

| #6 Maybe she can talk to Galloway and start up a Canadian branch of his new party. |

| #2 It's about time. I looked at her website, and it is full of platitudes to the left. Nitwit's Website Apparently the only redeeming factor about her is that she once owned a Boxer dog... Since Martin had the good sense to do the right thing, let's let this drop, unless she opens her fat trap again... If she does do something stupid publicly again, we in the Pajamadeen have to think of a creative way to show her what we think of her attitude towards the Prez. Via Drudge:  |

| #1 As much as I think she is an idiot, if you know what This Hour Has 22 Minutes is all about, you'd agree that this "stunt" was blown out of proportion. Nonetheless, she deserves much worse than simply being booted out of caucus. What an embarrassment. |
