Jackie, Jackie, Jackie - you poor little old apparatchik. The ashes of your coalition are not yet cold and the chimera of power fast fading, still you cling stubbornly to the stupidity of your stance. What possible gain is there in not supporting the budget, flawed as it might be? Do you think either the Conservatives or the Liberals will give you anymore than a swift nod of the head now? If that. How could they possibly take you seriously when you so blindly and pig-headedly refuse to see the light. What possible good have you done your party, your constituents, your future? Had you not put your own arrogance and power-hungry ego before the good of the country, you might now have something to contribute to parliament. You might now be able to work for some of the policies you so once proudly championed. You betrayed your principles in exactly the same manner you accused Prime Minister Harper of doing not so long ago. Truly, you are a pathetic shadow of your former self.
