Helena Guergis gets no sympathy for 'hissy fits'

[daleo]

If beleaguered Conservative minister Helena Guergis was hoping for sympathy from her political sisters, former party matriarch Deborah Grey was fresh out.

Ms. Guergis, minister of state for the status of women, was a no-show Friday at a panel on women in politics at the Manning Centre's annual conference for small-c conservatives. Her office did not respond to a question about her absence.

Two weeks ago, Ms. Guergis was forced to apologize for an angry outburst against airport and Air Canada staff in Charlottetown. She allegedly seethed at being put through airline procedures as she arrived minutes before a scheduled flight, calling the city a “hellhole” and uttering a profanity.

When a member of the audience asked about women in politics being treated differently, Ms. Grey responded that even so, it didn't give them licence to “throw hissy fits at airports.”

She will have to undergo a brief period of ritual shunning by the party, then be re-absorbed (similar to how they treated Bernier, who is now persona lotsa grata again). Being accused of throwing a hissy fit by Deb Grey is about as bad as punishment gets in the Harper party.

1. I laughed when I saw the final quote in the article...

“The two of them are just in a dill pickle.”

Somehow it just seemed so apropos regarding the "Bonnie and Clyde" couple.

:rofl:

2. As Ned Flanders put it

"that's a dilly of a pickle".
