Spud, Don't forget that Myron Thompson has managed to stay level-headed. Well at least the drool still comes out of both side of his mouth. Myron Thompson calls Liberal MP "useless piece of skin" March 17, 2001 Source: Digital Banff news service By David Gamble Wild Rose MP Myron Thompson yesterday called Waterloo-Wellington MP Lynn Myers an "idiot" and "the most useless piece of skin I've seen in my life" after Myers heckled him in the Commons for what he took to be an anti-Italian remark. digitalbanff.com . It's certainly happened to Deb Grey, which I wouldn't have thought possible when I sat across the table from her in 1989. OTOH I found Steve Harper to be only older and wiser after his stint there, not Ottawashed at all. God willing he's resistant. Here's something on Jean Crouton, just to keep this thread on-subject: Frank presents an exclusive excerpt from George Boring’s upcoming volume, The Rejected Poems of Canada’s First and Last Poet Laureate. TI-JEAN CROUTON I met a traveller from a faded land Who said: An old, impervious head of bone Sits in Parliament, flicking rubber bands At pages. A goofy visage smirks, whose throne, And wonky lip, and sneer of smug command, Tell that its owner well wears Lib’ral red. He yet survives, babbling nonsense things, A man that choked us, made our brains go dead; And for his legacy these words are there: “My name is Ti-Jean Crouton, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Losers, an’ kiss dis pair!” No opposition remains. Round the delay Of his overdue leaving, the table is bare, The crumbs of the country blown far away. frankmag.net
