All I can say is its about time! This self-serving grandstander has finally been booted from the Liberal caucus by Prime Minister Paul Martin.



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."





Her inflammatory comments were inappropriate for an elected official and IMHO nothing more than a cheap grab for world wide publicity.



In the past, Parrish has called Americans "bastards" and mocked the U.S. plans for a missile defence shield by calling countries that sign on to the plan a "coalition of idiots."


Being booted from caucus is a death knell for an M.P. s career as they are cut off from the party machinery and the levers of power. Re-election as an independant is almost impossible. Buh-Bye!!

"I have absolutely no loyalty to this team. None," she told Canadian Press.

"After what they've put me through and lots of my colleagues, they can all go to hell. But [Mr. Martin's] not going to control me, so all he's going to do is end up looking weak."

She just think what a lot of people think....but Martin don't want to have problems with the states, he's becomming more and more like "them"!
It was not respectful to do that, but hey! She really has the guts! She's a woman who feel that Bush is a moron, if she was not in politics, I would say I agree with her, freespeech is dissapearing I can see that! Woman in the Canadian government always have problems...
