"They all do it"

No they don't. Even Liberal MPs want Health Minister Dosanjh and PMO COS Murphy dumped. Here is MP Roger Galloway via Jane Taber (and hat-tip to NealeNews).

...the situation is "totally odious" and "it shows the underbelly of politics that I think is quite unacceptable."
"[Conservative Leader Stephen Harper] will have to deal with [Tory MP Gurmant Grewal, who made the tapes], but we have to deal with our own," Mr. Gallaway said. "The use of the words 'Senate' and 'foreign posting,' even if no offer was made, is totally odious. There are several MPs who are remaining silent but who think Murphy and Dosanjh have crossed the threshold of acceptable political discourse."


...Another senior Liberal MP in effect dared the PM to suspend the two men: "If the Prime Minister feels it is necessary for his Minister of Health and his chief of staff to step aside, then he should do it. If he remains silent about it, it means he really doesn't have any concerns about it."
But the MP is not optimistic.
"The bar is so low now. . . . Have you ever seen anything like this?
"Everybody gets away with stuff. It's just a joke."
