I knew it couldn't last
Nice.
Thanks, bud.
The only blessing here is that this broke after the eastern papers were put to bed (I hope--the morning editions may prove me wrong). This will give Harper a chance to cut this f*cker loose before noon Thursday.
Don't give me any crap about "innocent until proven guilty". It's not a goddamn constitutional right to be a Tory candidate or MP. If you're a candidate, you have to tell the goddamn truth about being criminally charged with a goddamn felony offense. Harper must must must MUST get rid of this guy.
He must say this:
Please. Please. Please. Show the kind of leadership that Paul Martin has not and cannot. This is either a silly bump in the road, or the beginning of a media backlash--and a voter backlash--against the Tories. For God's sake do the right thing: amputate.

He must say this:
"The Conservative Party has higher standards than my opponent. We expect a certain standard of behaviour from our candidates and ultimately our members of parliament, and Mr. Zeisman has failed to live up to those standards. By his lack of truthfulness about this matter with our party and with the public, Mr. Zeisman has disqualified himself as a Conservative candidate. I have revoked his nomination papers. He is no longer a candidate for the Conservative Party in this election. If you have any questions I would be pleased to answer them."
