The Martyrdom of Krista Erikson

This just in: Master blogger Black Rod has discovered that the martyrdom of Krista Erickson has led to an outpouring of Facebook sentiment, particularly by sweet young House Liberals. On Jason Cherniak's Support Krista Erickson pages, we find her friends include:

* Nancy Baroni, parliamentary assistant to Liberal MP Maria Minna
* Ryan Cotter, parliamentary assistant to Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett
* Richard Zussman, special assistant to Liberal MP Maurizio Bevilacqua
* Stephen Dame, legislative assistant to Liberal MP Alan Tonks
* Bryn Hendricks, assistant to Liberal MP Hedy Fry
* Al Payne, assistant to Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal, who sits on the so-called Ethics Committee.

Black Rod suggests the other Puffin MP who asked questions for her might be Nova Scotia turncoat Scottie Breeze-on. (Isn't ex CBC radio journo Susan Murray his communications director? - Ed.)

Update: Black Rod also notes that sweet young Krista, an ex script girl from Winnipeg, is a buddy of Pissed Estate producer Morris Karp-Face.

Keep on Puffin.

Talk Tough Like Mike

•“Look, this is America and you have to decide what kind of country you want. This is your country as much as it is mine.” - 2004
*"Look, if I lose, I'll just move back to Massachusetts." - to the Harvard Crimson newspaper - 2006
*“If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you until I’m done.”
• "You're looking at someone who turned down the chance to become Prime Minister of Canada, and I did so, in part, because I felt it would divide the country."
• “I don’t need any lessons in legitimacy from Harper.”
• “He knows where to find me.”
• "He's creating a parliamentary crisis and dividing the country."
• "It’s his budget, not mine."
• "It's up to Harper to make the right decision and up to me to decide if he made it."
• "We're putting the government on probation."
•"Mr. Harper, your time is up.”
*"This is a prime minister who a year ago was trying to make you embarrassed if you liked opera or classical music or the ballet or poetry. I mean, come on, let's get over this. You can like hockey, you can like classical music. Let's stop playing Canadian against Canadian and taste against taste."
