Scandal? I doubt that very much. But it does beg a question: if KHAAAAN! was a Liberal during the last election when this "scandal" happened, then does it not taint the Liberals as much as the Tories. Oh, who am I kidding... nobody but political junkies gives a rats ass about this.
Whooee! I ain't sure it's just us wonks who's gonna sit up an' take notice. King Steve said a lotta good things about his man in the mideast an' if Khan is convicted, he could do jail time. The public eats up stories of the mighty fallin' on their stoopidass faces.
Yeah, I reckon it'll taint the Grits, too. It'll taint all politicians. It'll taint Parliament. It'll cause disenchanted would-be voters to stay away from the polls.
The penalties fer destroyin' Canajuns' faith in democracy ain't nearly harsh enough, sez I.
then does it not taint the Liberals as much as the Tories.
Well did the Liberals know about his perfidy? There were certainly indications that the Conservatives knew when Harper started wooing him before he even crossed the floor...you don't embrace people who don't seem to provide a very good explanation as to why they're breaking ranks. But I'll be generous and suggest that Conservatives just aren't very good judges of character, especially when they're caught up in the process of finding a token Muslim to provide that collection of bigots a cover of cultural tolerance.
If we Liberals assumed responsibility for Stronach and Turner, the Conservatives have to do the same with Khaaaaan!
"The public eats up stories of the mighty fallin' on their stoopidass faces."
Who Khan? Nobody cares what Harper said about Khan back in the day. Of all the stuff Harper's said in the past do you think people will be most outraged about what Harper said about a backbench MP who crossed the floor and apparently may have overspent his campaign limit by $30,000? Go ahead, remind us time and again.
It's the festive season. Voters are far more interested in shopping, drinking egg nog and taking the kids around the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights than, ugh... politics. Somehow I don't think KHAAAAN!! will be back in the Tory caucus even if he is cleared of charges.
Let them prosecute this dirty Tory to the full extent of the law!

Hmmm. You might want to stash the ballons and bubbly.
If memory serves, Khan was running as a loyal Liberal candidate at the time that the alleged impropriety took place.
It won't be Conservative organizers who are called to the stand. It will be Liberals . . . again.
I wonder if we'd ever have heard of this if he HADN'T crossed. Ah well, the Tories took him and he's there problem now.
I really think this will taint Khan more than the parties he's infested. Nice thing is he has no chance of re-election and getting an MP pension.

Khan you really call a floor-crosser a Tory?
When did he break the rules? When he was a Liberal?
