All this, and now I hear even Bono is pissed at him.... sheesh, talk about a bad week.

Mr. Martin, you and your corrupt Liberal party no longer get to tell us when the next federal election will be. You and your corrupt Liberal party no longer get to portray your crisis as Canada's crisis. You and your corrupt Liberal party no longer get to dictate to Canadians what issues they should care about. So do us all a favour. Stop grovelling, stop apologizing and stop trying to tell us that your latest attempt to save your own political hide has anything to do with statesmanship.

Well excuuuuuuse me!

....no longer get to tell us when the next federal election will be.

Can someone 'splain to me why the PM's in Canada and England have to "call for an election"? Don't they have a set date like us? If not, is there anything that limits their terms?

The federal Liberals launched Gomery only because the heat was getting too close. If they had a majority, there would have been no investigation. Prime Minister Paul Martin is misleading the Canadian people. The Liberals are not responding to this criminal conspiracy out of a goodness of heart but because the Opposition was able to hold them accountable. No one in Canada thinks Martin would have delivered a prime time address to the country if the entire Ad-Scam scandal could have been completely buried. The country's existence was never at stake and now the Liberals stand exposed as crooks without shame and still less as hollow men without principle. It just stuns me the PM can get up there and tell people on TV he's indispensable.
