When one of the party faithful says something like

“There’s A’s and there’s B’s. The A’s are guys like me, the B’s are homosexual faggots with dirt under their fingernails that transmit diseases,”

Shouldn’t some dutiful Tory backbencher be standing up in the House of Commons during nationally televised question period and asking what action the government will be taking?

And shouldn’t someone important from the Cabinet stand up and speak about how ‘extremely disappointed and disturbed’ the government is about ‘past comments’ that have been ‘very hurtful, inappropriate, and go against everything that this country stands for’ — and then, in (no doubt) grave and somber tones, say that the government will be ‘reviewing the relationship’ it has with the people of Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre ‘including the funding that goes with it’?

If they weren’t such hypocrites that would happen - but they are, and it won’t.

Minor after snark: who knew Conservative debate after-parties were such hotbeds of sophisticated conversation ‘eh?


Update [h/t Christian Conservative]: Tories stand by MP

But Government house leader Peter Van Loan later said the Conservatives are standing by Lukiwski since he’s apologized for his remarks and stated that he no longer hold the opinions expressed in the video.

“We welcome that quick and unequivocal apology and consider the matter is now closed,” said Van Loan.

Gee…. how surprising

For those of you with failing memories: David Ahenakew also apologized for his remarks, said that when he made them he was “caught up in the heat of the moment”, and said they did not represent his beliefs.

I really gotta get around to making a “f*cking hypocrites” category to file this stuff under.
