The sponsorship scandal came back to haunt Liberals Wednesday after newly minted leader Stephane Dion suggested at least one of the organizers disgraced by the affair should be welcomed back into the party.Mr. Dion was forced to clarify after telling a Quebec newspaper he has no objections to Marc-Yvan Cote, a former key party organizer in eastern Quebec, being allowed to resume his Liberal membership.
He told Le Soleil that Mr. Cote's punishment was exaggerated, that he'd recognized his error and shouldn't be penalized for life. He stressed, however, that no decision had been made to readmit Mr. Cote and that it was up to the party president to decide.
53 days. That's got to be a record.
Thank you, Mr. Dion, for reconfirming my disbelief in the Liberal Party.

How stupid can these guys be....?
I did find it oddly comforting that the LPC returned to true form, though. :)
