I never gave a good goddamn about lip sinking musicians. I was bothered when non-lip sinkers were lent automatic esteem on those grounds alone.

Of course Garth Turner has been (mutedly) critical of David Emerson. He eviscerated Stronach for crossing the floor on an issue. When Gary Carr left the provincial Tories for the federal Liberals, Turner called him "an arrogant flip-flopper," a "politician of convenience."

Why are people canonizing this man? He suggested mildly that it might be an ok idea for Mr. Emerson to face a by-election - but "Harper surely had sound reason for his decision." He stayed mildly consistent from one week to the next.

This demonstrates to me that ethical standards are fairly low for members of all parties.
