Molly Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 Ex-cuuuuse me! As someone who has been inadequately represented for a good long while, I wonder why someone who has shown to be guilty of "marrying a husband with appallingly bad judgment, letting him use her office, having an annoying personality and breaking down in public under the pressure of two miscarriages and her mother’s health scare." would not have stepped aside in favor of someone who is up to the job, and who is not in the middle of a personal meltdown! "For that she’s been ousted from her job and party, and crucified in the press" .. as well she should. I'm sure the countdown is on. How many more days before her parliamentary pension is secure?

Born Free Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 Well, I hope that this investigation and a verdict comes quickly, even if Guergis is cleared her reputation and livelyhood are ruined. All this is based mainly on speculation and rumour, so far nothing factual. It's too bad that the opposition continues to use this the further their own agenda rather than getting down to other business. This is from a letter in today's NP which pretty well sums up the situation - I'm betting the Guergis' staffers wrote that letter.... Quote
scribblet Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 I'm betting the Guergis' staffers wrote that letter.... I'm betting it was her sister who is aware of the personal problems. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
jbg Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 Why don't you get back to us after you've gone through puberty. I think his hormones are as out of whack as Guergis' were.

Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

To be fair, "he" likely is a he if only because women, so far, have not descended quite as far into trolliness as "men." Probably should add him to my ignore list and be done with him.
