REMEMBER, TENS OF THOUSANDS VOTED FOR HER: I forgot to blog this yesterday but I wanted to provide something for Musings' American readers to get angry about. Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish, who made headlines last year calling Americans "bastards", has done it again.

Liberal backbench MP Carolyn Parrish refuses to back down from comments she made earlier this week when she called Americans "a coalition of the idiots," in reference to the U.S. missile defence plan.

"I think you apologize when you're absolutely convinced you've made a serious error. I don't think I have," Parrish said on Canada AM Friday.

A question for my American friends: Why do you persist in believing that we are your allies? At any rate, I looked in my dictionary to make sure my comments were appropriate. Ms. Parrish, you are a bitch. My dictionary says that means "a malicious, unpleasant, selfish woman." Fits, doesn't it?
