where's the anger?

gomery's first report was released today. apparently paul martin is exonerated. how? if he was the finance minister during this, he was either lying or incompetent. either one doesn't paint a rosy picture for the liberals. or shouldn't.

but the most interesting thing of the day for me was question period. smilin' jack was irate. gilles duceppe was mad. ed broadbent stood up and smacked the liberals.

but the conservatives were calm.

now, i understand that the conservatives are in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" quandary. if we get mad, we're angry conservatives. if we stay calm, we have no passion. but this time, at least, i would like to haev seen stephen harper stand up, smack down his papers, and demand, in the booming voice i know he has, the resignation of paul martin and the immediate calling of an election.

that would have been sweet.
