Liberal MP Michelle Simson twitters from committee.

In committee this morning. M.P. Del Mastro should grow up (not out)

Gosh, I hate to see a grown M.P. pout. Smile, Dean!

    Del Mastro does need to grow up. He sounded like a whiny teenager last summer in the ethics committee when he complained that his "Catholic upbringing" couldn't permit him to tolerate the awful potty mouth coming from Pat Martin.

    And he needs to lose weight. Sloth and gluttony are ungodly.

      Doesn't matter how right she may be, it ain't classy for an MP to twitter like that.

    And let's thank the CBC's Janyce McGregor (whose most important job is, not journalist, but "Norah's mom') for bringing this momentous event to the nation's attention.

    I hate yummy mummies, especially re-estrogynized TVO hasbeens. If getting a new job post-TVO means you have to slink into obscurity like Paula Todd you might as well BE a full-time mum. At least your kids appreciate you!

    It isn't really a true apology when the firs words out of the mouth of the offender start off with something like: " . . . IF I said anything that yadda yadda yadda. . ."

    That ". . . IF . . . " opener is nothing but mealy-mouthed equivocating.

    Are blackberries etc even permitted in the House or inside committee rooms?

    She just apologized in the face of a mewling point of order from Deano.
