What he did was awful, and dumb. (The guy Sparrow went after showed more class than I would have, by the way.)<BR/><BR/>Without justifying Sparrow's behaviour, or the notion that all the Tories have to do is attack-attack-attack, I would say this: nobody's perfect in this.

Believe it or not, a lot of CPCers were pretty pissed off at today's developments, and not just because it took the Conservatives "off message". I'm personally hoping that everyone, my team definitely included, takes a deep breath and settles down a bit.

Fife has been calling for the down fall of Harper for over a year and is mad because he couldn't question the PM when he wanted to.
