The fact it was his girlfriend doesn't change any of that, nor does it excuse his viewing such personal pics on his computer in the HoC including where it could be seen by the public from the visitor's gallery.<BR/><BR/>That said though I hope this is the end of it, because there are far more serious issues to deal with than this, especially given that the NDP MP really should have spoken first to Moore alerting him to how visible his laptop sceen's contents was to other MPs and the public and if he continued to leave it so visible then she should have made that point of order/privilege she made insted of how she did handle this.Scotianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284856315992405261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-20334554229173634152007-12-07T11:00:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:00:00.000-05:00The male female divide on this is pretty significa...The male female divide on this is pretty significant. I don't know why guys are rushing to feel sorry for poor Moore, as I posted on my blog there were some pretty disrespectful responses from men in the house while Mathyssen was speaking and no one knew then if she was right or wrong. Good for 900 ft jesus for pointing out some real damage done to an entire family.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what the woman on the screen whoever she is thinks about all this.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925229206558848754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-75817987721272241272007-12-07T09:49:00.000-05:002007-12-07T09:49:00.000-05:00I think Mathyssen is pushing her luck here.

What a fool.<BR/><BR/>She's been saying this stuff outside the House - therefore not protected.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-17167353654132052742007-12-07T09:07:00.000-05:002007-12-07T09:07:00.000-05:00Thanks Sandi, I found that story and updated.

It is rather crazy, and disappointing.<BR/><BR/>900ft, I agree they're no doubt milking this, which is sad to see, and they're far from lillywhite as well. But if I was Moore I'd be pretty pissed, this story calling him basically a pervert got picked-up by the international wire services and ran worldwide. I'm no lawyer, but he potentially has a strong libel claim, depending on what was said within the HoC (libel shielded) and outside the HoC.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, while the Cons aren't lily white, as my mom would say, two wrongs don't make a right.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-82397852559130311132007-12-07T08:56:00.000-05:002007-12-07T08:56:00.000-05:00When Moore got up in the House yesterday whining a...When Moore got up in the House yesterday whining about how traumatic that false accusation had been and said:<BR/>"I hope nobody in this House goes through what I did in the last 24 hours. Let us leave the ugliness behind. Let us serve our constituents and build a better Canada,” I thought of Navdeep Bains and what Moore’s party put that poor man - and his family through a few months back, trying to make the whole lot out to be terrorists.<BR/><BR/>Moore deserved an apology, and people should not make accusations without solid proof and I hope the CONs remember and apply this as well. They should also apologize to Bains - and I’m sure there are others they unfairly caused to have a worse day than Moore did.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Mathyssen was out of line and Moore deserved an apology, but the hypocrisy of the CONs is so blatant. I can’t help but believe that Moore actually used his “poor, poor me” spiel to push the tired CPC jingo crap as well - “build a better Canada.”900ft Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882830831096870992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-70212944508485949742007-12-07T08:07:00.000-05:002007-12-07T08:07:00.000-05:00I read this morning that Irene Mathyssen is not ba...I read this morning that Irene Mathyssen is not backing down - she's going to apologize (for not speaking to Moore firt).<BR/><BR/>She's not backing down on her view that it was inappropriate to be looking at a scantily dressed woman in the House.<BR/><BR/>In other words, to my mind, this lady is not going to let it go away.<BR/><BR/>What a nasty flake.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.com
