Is there any such thing as an Honorable Politican?


Politics is losing much of its fascination for me.


It has become so transparently a mug's game, a slime ball's home turf.


The Booster B.C. fiasco is the latest example.


2000 child booster car seats "given" (paid for by your tax dollars) to needy families. Sounds good. maybe.


Until you realize that they were all given by Liberals, each of whom rushed to the foto op.


Minister of State for Childcare, Linda Reid, who as we all know is doing such a remarkable job, said, "There's no politics in booster seats."


Except that no NDP ridings got them.


Buying votes by kissing babies is so bush.

Honorable politician = oxymoron!

Just as an honorable man may, over time, become a used car salesman with a white belt and a gold tooth; so too can an honorable man become the reprehensible 'career politician'.

You know like Jean Cretien.
