Enough. Everyone needs a time-out and they should actually think before they speak. Stop making stupid comments, please. And don't call a press conference, surround yourself when a group of your colleagues to repeat the same stupid charges. Again...enough!

...Bristling with faux outrage, the Conservatives spotted a chance to play the race card, which has been used against them so effectivel in the past. "He is us - we are Inky," said Jim Abbott, the British Columbia Conservatives, adding a slightly surreal note to the inter-caucus bonding.
...As each side fired off accusations that the other was dragging parliamentary discourse to a new low, backbenchers, aware of the futility of the exercise, sat reading magazines and doing crosswords, knitting their brows only when they had to rise for the obligatory standing ovations.
