Poor Peter MacKay
Yesterday Peter MacKay, deputy leader of the Conservative party, was laying low after the defection of Belinda Stronach. Today, MacKay broke his silence and expressed his 'heartbreak' about the situation. He was with Stronach before she met with Prime Minister Paul Martin and he also saw her afterwards, and MacKay says he never say her switch coming. In his interviews he does look visibly upset, but he doesn't say what hurt more - Stronach leaving the party or leaving him. An educated guess would be that the personal side is affecting him more than the political. MacKay's inner politician would react professionally, he would express anger and resentment but never hurt. I can't help but feel bad for the guy.

This just in: Peter MacKay's dog Jack, the one on the cover of every major newspaper yesterday, has joined the NDP. Apparently Jack Layton liked his name and offered him a milkbone and a cabinet position beginning in the Year 2022, When Hippies Rule The Earth.
Things just aren't going MacKay's way I dare say. I'm going to go eat some hay down by the bay.
I don't get it. Why'd she have to dump him just cuz she's switching sides?
Anytime a woman 'switches sides,' it's not a matter of being dumped. She's got 'other things in mind' than you, if you know what I mean.
And I think you do.
