Ironic, isn't it?

Yesterday, Liberal Women's Caucus Chair Belinda Stronach raised the issue of equality of women in Question period in the House of Commons and then organized the 40 or so Liberal MPs and Senators to attend the ceremony on the Hill to commemorate the anniversary of the Persons Case through which women won the right to be considered 'persons' with respect to eligibility to sit in the Senate.

Today her former beau, "Potato patch" Peter MacKay referred to her in the House of Commons as a dog. That, my friends, seems to be all the class the MacKay family can muster.

Kinda reminds me of the good ol' days when Elmer was pimping around Parliament Hill with Karlheinz Schreiber (pimping in this case does not include any sexual connotations, although I am not sure exactly how Peter got the job working for Schreiber in Germany) though Andrew Coyne and others have struggled with how to describe $300,000 in cash being delivered in Hotels to former Conservative PM Mulroney.
