Omigod! Pat's got Belinda...

Bernie should be asking for over time.

It appears that Pat Martin has asked for an investigation of the Stronach floor-crossing.

All in the name of consistency, apparently.

In any other circumstances, the politics would be brilliant. Nail both the government and the opposition with the same bullet knowing full-well that only a complete lunatic would ever cross the floor to your party.

Except this is the basis of Mr. Martin's complaint:

"It is our opinion that the considerable increase in salary, augmented potential pension, staff and assorted perks enjoyed by members of cabinet, such as a personal car and driver amount to furthering Ms. Stronach's private interests."

In short, the Billionairess who donates here salary to charity because she doesn't need the money was interested in a raise?

The woman who was president and CEO a multinational car-parts company needed wheels and a driver?

Please, bring on the investigation... if only for the entertainment value...

Hilarious post... hadn't thought of that. I also hadn't heard that she donates her salary before.
