Missile defence for 'coalition of the idiots': Liberal MP

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA - A group of vocal Liberal MPs appealed to Prime Minister Paul Martin to think twice about taking part in the U.S. missile defence program, as party members gathered for their annual caucus retreat.
"We are not joining a coalition of the idiots," she told reporters. "We are joining a coalition of the wise."

6. Remember her comments last year?...

http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/02/26/bastards030226

MP Carolyn Parrish was speaking to reporters about Canada's diplomatic initiative on Iraq. At the end of her comments, after most of the cameras were turned off, Parrish said, "Damn Americans … I hate those bastards."

She's always been a bit of a loose cannon.

7. After The Demise Of The Last

Of the "Rat Pack" we could use a few more like this.

I would hope that everything gets put into the correct context.

9. Exactly

Heard her on "As It Happens" tonight and I think that she said she got 28,000 votes.
Stated something about everyone saying that when they went to Ottawa that they became mouthpieces and that was not how she would act and that she stands behind her comments.
We need more representatives like this and then let Martin talk about listening to the back benchers. He started the issue now let him show that he stands behind it.
