Rona Ambrose takes out Ken Dryden

Greg (at Political Staples) pointed me towards the new blog of Monte Solberg, MP. Here he is describing how Ken Dryden ended up flat on the virtual ice:

Dryden is shocked at such a radical notion. He said, "but it would leave child care in the country too much where it is, fragmented, unregulated, uneven, largely custodial, with little for the child that would encourage real development, and would waste the time, the opportunity and the possibility of the early years."

Hey, we always knew that Liberals thought this way, but you rarely hear them actually say it. So in Ken's world a mom or dad who stays at home with the kids is, "wasting . . . the possibility of the early years."

When Rona Ambrose threw his own words back at him in Question Period he looked like he just realized that he wasn't wearing pants. Then she pulled his jersey over his head and nailed him with, "Working women want to make their own choices. We do not need old white guys telling us what to do." Ouch. Welcome to the House Ken.
