Remember this guy from the 2006 election?
SURREY, B.C. (CP) - Former federal Conservative candidate Derek Zeisman has admitted to trying to smuggle more than 100 bottles of alcohol over the Canadian border.
Zeisman pleaded guilty to one count of smuggling in a Surrey court today, while five other charges have been dropped against him.
The original story broke during the midst of the 2006 campaign, and I always hoped it would cancel out the whole Adscam thing. It didn't, but Mr. Zeisman might be at least partly responsible for the fact that we don't have a Conservative majority today. Thank you, Mr. Zeisman
"The original story broke during the midst of the 2006 campaign, and I always hoped it would cancel out the whole Adscam thing."
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be kidding. 100 bottle of alcohol versus millions and millions of tax payers money? Only a Liberal could link those 2 together.
Well, Adscam was a typical "power corrupts" situation. In this case, the corruption started before the guy even got into power. That sure tells you something.
ReplyDeleteHey Prairie Kid?: Do you get up every morning planning out how you'll be predictable and boring for the rest of the day?
ReplyDeleteI love conservatism: "preserving predictability and dullness for generations to come."
Now if only we could work in "smug and self-righteous silence" into that, we'd have something.
A guy smuggling alcohol vs ADSCAM?
ReplyDeleteOne guy is trying to keep his own money in his pockets and out of the coffers of a bloated and inefficient government, and the other is trying to put YOUR money in his pockets with the HELP of a bloated and inefficient government.
Glad to see you liberals see things so clearly.
ti-guy, you've helped me visualise what smug and self-righteous ignorance look like!
Anonm 11:25,
ReplyDeleteSo when its a Liberal he's a crook but when its a Tory he's kind of like Robin Hood?
I dub thee soft on crime.
Glad to see you liberals see things so clearly
ReplyDeleteAnony-clod...show me where I once dismissed or played down the significance of Adscam and you'd have a point. But you can't, and you don't. Therefore you're stupid and obnoxious. Only stupid, obnoxious people believe that every criticism of Connie wingnuts will have to be restricted because Adscam is teh worst possible crime in teh history of the world...worse than the HOLOCAUST even!!!1!
This topic wasn't even about Adscam. If you Connies could only read, you'd realise these thins sooner and not make such fools of yourselves, over and over and over...
Ti-guy . . . Has the NDP kicked you out of the party or have you just seen the writing on the wall. I've met many people just like you. Instead of getting into a debate, you try to insult your adversary.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what exactly did you add to the discussion of this post? I was merely pointing out that some small idiot in the entire Conservative party did something that was stupid. But to somehow think this incident would overshadow Adscam is actually pretty funny.
And I liked the way you really put "anonymous" in their place. "Stupid", "obnoxious", "wingnut".
And all along I really thought you were an over-educated socail misfit. I was wrong about the first part.
Liberal Pleads Guilty
ReplyDelete"A federal member of Parliament pleaded guilty Tuesday to a hit-and-run charge involving a woman who was injured when struck by a car a year ago.
Jean-Guy Carignan, the Liberal MP for the Québec City riding of Québec-Est, was charged after a 20-year-old woman suffered minor injuries when hit by a car on Oct. 3, 2000."
Somehow smuggling 100 bottle of liquor doesn't seem quite so drastic.
The guy was merely trying to achieve social justice in a progressive grass-roots manner, as those alcohol tax revenues would have ONLY been used to support the mission in Afghanistan. Don't you see that?
ReplyDeleteti-goof, don't bother trying to defend your actions. Just come out and admit that you are a hateful and prejudiced ideologue and move on. We know it, you know it, just admit it and be done with it.
Prairie Kid, do you think I honestly care what you trolling Connies think?
ReplyDeleteHere's a clue...I don't.

ReplyDeleteIf I did, would that mean you'd troll less? and be less stupid? Cause I'd do anything for that.
