Ex-Liberal Says She Would Have Fired Herself

OTTAWA - Carolyn Parrish says she deserved to be fired for criticizing Prime Minister Paul Martin and his inner circle, but continued the attack Friday by condemning the "guerilla-war type occupation of the prime minister's office."

The MP for Mississauga-Erindale was dumped from the caucus on Thursday after saying Martin and his advisers could "go to hell," declaring that she had no loyalty to the Liberal party. She told CBC News on Friday that the prime minister had no choice but to sack her.

"When he phoned me, he said, 'I'm sorry.' I said, 'Don't be sorry, I'd do the same thing,'" said Parrish, who achieved notoriety for her outspoken attacks on U.S. President George W. Bush and Americans.

Carolyn Parrish keeps on screeching. She's Canada's Bill Clinton, without the charm.

I hope all Canadian Freepers will go to the pro-Bush rally in Ottawa next week.

I really think this woman has a problem with booze.

I hope so too. Apparently the francophones in Montreal have booked 10 bus-loads of anti-bush activists to attend the rally. With any luck, the pro-bush supporters have booked 20!

Can we get the word out to her Muslim constituents?

I'm fairly certain she is a drunk. She has all the classic symptoms. I'm guessing alot of the fellas in the office have boned her. Usually those types get pretty sauced at the office parties.

She sounds like Bella Abzug. Is that her name? All I remember was a news clip from the 70s of her looking drunken and ranting against someone. Class act.

Some Canadian friends tell me Mizz Parriah could do a great impression of a cobra -- if only her smile had more warmth.

In another interview she called her x-party a "regime" structure and insisted she will be loudly out-spoken if Bush addresses parliment now that she doesn't have to answer to anybody.

Yes, it was Bella Abzug. Parrish has an impulse-control problem. And she has a boozer's puffy face.

"Parrish "insisted she will be loudly outspoken if Bush addresses Parliament now that she doesn't have to answer to anybody."

When I was growing up in Canada( I no longer live there) my second grade teacher used to put scotch tape over the mouths of chatterboxes. Do you think anyone would object if someone in Parliament taped Parrish's mouth shut ?

The only thing Clinton had was charm. Does this mean that she is an empty suit?

Not even the Clintons would rage like this against their own country. Parrish wouldn't last five minutes if she raged against Canada with the same passion she vents against America.
