Strange bedfellows?
CBCer Krista Erickson and Tory MP Lee Richardson: What's the story all about?
CBCer Krista Erickson and Tory MP Lee Richardson: What's the story all about?
Story here. Significant "eww!" factor involved.
“It’s one thing to have a personal relationship,” she said. “It’s another thing entirely to be benefiting from that relationship. Actually being able to fly for free because of that relationship kind of brings it to a new level. A reporter who covers national politics in any way who is in a relationship with an MP is clearly in conflict.”
Kevin Gaudet, of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, says it looks bad.
“That will be a problem for them, for the Tories and the CBC. That will be a problem all the way around. It looks to me like he would be running afoul of the conflict of interest commissioner, and their guidelines of avoiding the appearance of conflict of interest,” said Gaudet.
“And I would have thought that she would be tripping over journalistic integrity by putting herself so closely aligned with the reception of resources available to a member of Parliament.”
Hmm. Is Lee Richardson a closet Liberal? Or has he been seduced by a hot Big-Media spy? WTF is wrong with the guy?
As for the CBC chick, well, what does one expect from a CBCer, what with the whole culture of entitlement thing?
One would expect this of a Liberal MP, not a Tory one.
At least the CBC chick is hot... Perhaps Richardson isn't thinking with his brain. Hard to do that, when all your blood has migrated to another anatomical location...
Of course, the CBCer must similarly be questioned. Like, what has she been thinking... if she's been thinking at all?
Damn. In Ottawa, everybody's horny...

Maybe either one is converting the other. Horny you say? hmmm!
Or could be that she realizes that the conservatives are not 'scary' after all after years of such statement.
And so what they both are in bed together you never know marriage will be ringing one day.
Why not a little pay-back? After all the CBC's been f$$king the Conservatives for all these years.
Indeed, there may be more to it, Jen. Could be more than mere brainless "hookin' up", as the kids call it these days...
Glas, I don't think an ok-looking MP needs to go fishing in the CBC cesspool for a good catch. There's plenty of potential "action" everywhere one looks, after all, on the Hill... Which makes me look in the mirror and ask myself, "Damnit, man, how come you're not over there, then?".

You're referring to Magnetic Hill right?
Well, I meant Parliament Hill, but the other Hill IS plenty of fun as well. Yep, it's especially weird how some mysterious force causes one's vehicle to roll uphill. Not too far away, towards Fundy Ntl Park, there's something called Mystery Crater, which one has to actually enter to believe. It's almost supernatural how you're pulled UPwards inside the crater, as if you're falling UPwards...
Magnetic Hill, Mystery Crater, Reversing Falls; funny how things work in NB.
Yeah, forgot about the RF. Pity they've been used as an effluent toilet by a paper mill that stank like crap when I was a kid (though the stink's gone now and there's not as much white stuff floating on the water anymore).
The RF's easier to understand. Thing is that while the St John River falls are strong, the Bay of Fundy tides, the world's highest, are stronger, hence the tides push the falls back, causing the phenomenon of seemingly reversing, bi-directionally-moving waters... hmm... kind of like Ezra and Ann right now, pushing back at the once-unstoppable liberal fascist forces... and just wait til the Tea Parties culminate in a helluva pushback in November...
Plus Premier Graham reversed himself on the sale of NB Power to Quebec. Apparently the deal looked a lot like the once-considered sale of GM's Opel division, which was nixed once the iffys were more carefully considered.
