David Emerson is Still an Asshole (and a liar)

So, a few days ago, we the people heard from David Emerson. Yes, that's right. David Emerson who ran in Vancouver-Kingsway as a Liberal, and then crossed the floor to Stephen "I don't romance MP's to cross the aisle" Harper, after being bribed with a Cabinet post. The very same David Emerson to whom I referred as an asshole at the time. David Emerson, as you will all remember, swore up and down that he would not resign and run in a by-election, but that his constituents would have an opportunity to pass judgment on his record come the next election. Strangely enough though, while everybody else was filing their nomination papers, Mr. Emerson was not. Then we heard the other day that three Tory Cabinet Ministers would not be running for re-election. Their names? Fisheries Minister Loyola Hearn (actually a nice guy, and retiring after a long career), Human Resources Minister Monte Solberg (kind of competent), and, of course, Foreign Affairs Minister David Emerson (asshole). So here's a challenge to Stephen Harper. Emerson promised his constituents their chance to judge his asshole-ish ways. So, put his name on the ballot anyhow. Let the people pass their judgment on this monument to hubris, and see what happens. If he's as popular as he seems to think he is, then maybe we're all in for a surprise.
