Goodness. Judging by the hoohah, you would think that Stephen Harper slaughtered the Governor General and celebrated Black Mass at his Swearing-in ceremony yesterday.
I refer, of course, to his two infamous Cabinet appointees, Liberal defector David Emerson and Montreal businessman Michael Fortier, via the Senate.
I think the Opposition and their attack dogs in the media should contain their glee just a bit. Harper has acted in consonance with the Constitution and this issue isn't going to resonate with Canadians.
I suspect that they're making the same mistake as their American equivalents did about a certain politician -- what was his name again? Chimpy McHaliburton? -- who time after time somehow comes through the smoke with yet another win, leaving his opponents to unleash even more hysterical attacks against him, with even less effect.
C'mon down, Barbara Boxer!
