Shout out to the Aardvark for pointing out the latest stupid Liberal trick today, Ujjal Dosanjh wrongfully disclosing confidential Commons Defence business via Twitter.
One has to wonder just why we would respect any of our MP's who insist on utilizing this pointless addition to our digital world. Think about it. This guy is supposed to be attending a meeting of some apparent national importance, and, in theory, participating in the discussion - and he's busy "twittering". Clearly he was in the midst of vigorous discussion.
So. The Liberals numbers continue to plummet, and, rather than become "engaged" in the national debate, they are simply now "reporting" on the national debate. Well done Ujjal.
Add Ujjal to the growing list of twidiots.
From the Urban Dictionary:
Twidiot:
Someone who twitters constantly, usually about insignificant or trifling events.
I took Bob off my twitter email alerts, because he twitters about everything, every second. Honestly, do I need to know when he's taking a dump? He's a straight up twidiot.
I'm fairly "hip" to advancing technology. But just because something is "new" doesn't mean it's worthwhile.
Don't get me wrong. If you an Iranian dissident seeking to organize protest rallies, I'm sure the immediacy of twitter can be a very useful tool.
However - outside of the war zone, particularly during meetings, during Parliamentary debate and such, twitter is a quick giveaway as to who is doing their job and who isn't.
Twitter, as I've said before, is the means of saying less, but faster. And to any MP, Liberal or Conservative, who thinks I need to know when they are taking a dump.. I don't. And neither does anyone else.
A word of advice: Quite often, communicating faster with less thought, is a very bad thing for a politician.

I don't know. Seems trivial compared to a Conservative minister leaving sensitive documents at his biker-chick girlfriend's house.
Conservatives: Penny-wise and pound foolish.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm actually not that up in arms about the stupid twitter, per se, I just think it's more indicative of stupid politicians, generally, who are more preoccupied with public communiction of stupid inane comments, as opposed to, well, doing their job.
Yes Ti-guy it is... but he's gone from the job and Ujjal Doofus is still the Defence critic despite years and years of inane comments and stupidity. Clearly some party's are better at house keeping than others - and some are better at raiding the houses cookie jar!
Yes Ti-guy it is.
What is?
Anyway, quiet sweetie, Adults are trying to talk.
The only mistake Dosanjh made was to apologise. I really wish the Liberals would learn that dodge from the Conservatives.
"Yes Ti-guy it is."
"What is?"
"Anyway, quiet sweetie, Adults are trying to talk."
Sorry Ti-guy, I thought you might have been trying to make a point.
It is so hard for me to remember not to feed the trolls, even the adult ones.
Ti-Guy. Those documents were no longer very sensitive after the event, and everyone who understands how documents work in Ottawa/internationally knows this. The biker-chick wanted her book and 15 minutes.
Ujjal will be gone next election, as he won by a handful of points. He knows he had to apologize, as this was WAY out of line! If Iggy were a leader, he would move Ujjal to a less dangerous portfolio. But, he probably will not; so Ujjal will continue to be himself. All good for the CPC.
Who, in their right mind, respects any politician?
Those documents were no longer very sensitive after the event...
Really? On what evidence do you base this assertion?
...and everyone who understands how documents work in Ottawa/internationally knows this.
Do they? On what evidence do you base that claim?

I'm not a troll. Rob can vouch for that.
"I'm not a troll"
perhaps, but it has been my experience that trolls commonly resort to an "argumentum ad hominem"

Don't try so hard. No one has engaged in ad hominem here, which is restricted to discrediting a factual claim by invoking some unrelated personal characteristic or belief of the person making that claim. It's not synonymous with name-calling.
This is the problem with Conservatives, particularly ones from Western Canada. They work much harder at pretending to be smart than they do actually being smart.
Must be the desperate attempt to transcend the "redneck" stereotype.
No you had it right first time. I am a sweetie and now my Mom says I have to get off the internet.
later chump, that's name calling too!
