That is how this whole switching sides/unelected Cabinet Minister thing is going down in the blogosphere. Damian Brooks has the round-up. I am proud to be associated with these bloggers. Many of us got into blogging to express what we thought was wrong about our government. It is good to see so many continuing to do so.

How many of the leftie bloggers are going to apologise for assuming Harper was going to get a free ride from you and your peers. Behave like most of them for example.

I always have great regard for what BB writes but, this time, I think that BB and a whole lot of Blogging Tories are beset by mutually-reinforced hysteria. It must really have been a slow news week or two since the 23rd, for everyone to get up and charge full-tilt toward the cliffs reserved solely for lemmings.
In case it doesn’t show already, I think the Harper cabinet is excellent, top-notch, and the impact of the two moves used by Harper to get this talent will be gone in a few days. Sooner if another newsworthy item comes up. Like mismatching colour of shoes and socks on Laureen.
Gimme a break. And realize, folks, that life isn’t 100% pure.

Give it a rest!! It’s a huge trump that a star candidate would rather be with us than with the Liberals. Maybe the straw that broke the camels back was witholding the Treasury Board payout. I’m glad we got him and glad Vancouver has a voice.
One less Liberal, one more Conservative means a 2 vote swing. Gotta love it.

The one thing this controversy has accomplished is removing the Dingwall story from the front pages…now that’s a scandal.
