J.C. WATTS, former Ottawa Rough Riders quarterback-turned U.S. politician, yesterday threw a bomb at newly independent MP Carolyn Parrish. "I think she would make a good chairman of the 'Coalition of the Idiots.' It's pretty stunning some of the things she says," said Watts, reacting to recent anti-American comments made by Parrish.
When asked about the upcoming visit of U.S. President George W. Bush, the former Republic congressman from Oklahoma noted, "He's coming up, but there's some lady who's not very happy about it. She seems to be losing a little sleep over there."
"Regardless of what elected officials in Canada might think about America or what elected officials in America might think about Canada's leadership, we need each other."
Parrish said yesterday she's relieved she's out of the Liberal caucus, although she'll still be sitting on the Grit back bench in the House of Commons, according to a new seating plan released yesterday.
True to form, Parrish didn't go quietly and took one more shot at Martin and his senior advisers.
"Mr. Martin's unelected henchmen routinely interfered with nomination contests, created chaos, and subjected veteran MPs to humiliating and gruelling nomination battles (before the federal election)," Parrish said in a statement. Despite her beef with Martin and his team, Parrish admitted that, "when the votes are counted in the House, I'll be voting with the Liberals 90% of the time."
God Bless Julius Ceasar Watts
I wish he would return to politics. A Rice/Watts ticket in 08 would be hard to beat.
A ping for your ping list perhaps?
Can we please declare Free Republic a Canada-free zone? Please?
There's quite a lot of Canadians here at Free Republic, believe it or not. Carolyn Parrish is a narrow-minded moron, but that doesn't mean we all are. The feeling I get is that most Canadians, including many who elected her as MP earlier this year, is pretty ticked off at her.
Aren't Canadians in Alberta actually conservative? Can they join the U.S. if California cecedes?
I miss JC Watts voice of reason in Congress. This adminstration could certainly use him now.
And now you guys are getting Fox News. Help is on the way!
