Americans are 'bastards,' jokes Liberal MP, Alliance demands apology

Canadian Press

OTTAWA -- The Canadian Alliance is calling on a Liberal MP to apologize for an offensive joking remark she made about the United States.

Carolyn Parrish was walking away from reporters after expressing frustration about the likelihood of war in Iraq when she joked: "Damned Americans, I hate the bastards." Alliance Leader Stephen Harper said the off-hand comment is the latest in a series of anti-American remarks by people in government and doesn't do anyone any good.

Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham refused to comment on the matter, saying he hadn't heard the remark himself. But he added that MPs must answer to their constituents for their actions.

Parrish, a Toronto-area MP, is one of a number of Liberals who don't want Canada to support a war in Iraq unless it's backed by the UN.

Last year, Prime Minister Jean Chretien's communications director resigned after using the term "moron" to refer to U.S. President George W. Bush.

As a Canadian, let me say:

Damned Liberals, I hate the bastards.

Perhaps I could get that on a bumper sticker.
