Does Khan appointment transcend partisan politics?
According to Wajid Khan, the importance of his appointment transcends partisan politics... or at least, that's what he told interim Liberal leader Bill Graham, reports the Globe & Mail.
According to the great thinkers and at least one leadership candidate, Khan is dead wrong and should either quit the appointment or leave the Liberal caucus. Wait a minute... does that mean "You're either with us or against us." isn't strictly a Republican notion?
Evidently, PM Stephen Harper is so "inside" the heads of some Liberals, they can't imagine this appointment is anything other than an attempt to subvert the Liberals, reverse the highly touted slide in a poll and/or desperate attempt at damage control over the lack of 'nuance' about calling Hezbollah terrorists and supporting Israel's right to defend themselves against terrorist attacks.
I hope, after completing his tour and making his recommendations, Wajid Khan takes the time to review his relationship with the Liberal Party and see what his fellows think of him and what low regard they have for his discretion. I don't care whether Khan crosses the floor (as some suggest he should) or works within the Liberal Party but hopefully some good will come of this distasteful display of hyper-partisan paranoia.

It's just nice to see someone working for the country rather than a particular party.
It appears the Liberal caucus doesn't agree.
I thought it was a cool thing to see a Liberal working with a Conservative PM. Then all the peanut gallery set in. It was disappointing. I'm not cynical about Khan and Harper, I may be naive but I'm happy to see them workig together.
Imagine if he did leave the caucus the uproar there would be. "He should resign" "he was elected a Liberal," &tc.
I just added you to my sidebar Mac. Now you need to get your site updated.
Take care...
Mac, you're doing a great job with your blog. Keep at it. You have great insight (even if HTML hates you).
Life would be easier if HTML didn't hate me...
I suspect if I read through some of the Blogger tutorials, I could make bend Blogger to my will but I'm getting heat from Mrs. Mac for how much time I'm spending typing as it is. Ah well.
