There is no excuse for the words that were spoken about homosexuals by Saskatchewan MP Tom Lukiwski during a party, but I’m sure all perspective will be lost on the incident.

First of all, it happened almost 17 years ago when Lukiwiski and now Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall were young Conservatives horsing around at a campaign get together.

Again, there’s no excuse for what Lukiwski said, and Wall looks foolish for some of things he said about then NDP leader Roy Romanow.

And you have to question the stupidity of leaving a video tape that contained all the nonsense in an office you’re vacating for another political party, but you also have to question to the tactics of the NDP.

It’s sad when a broken down, insignificant little party has to dust off a 17 year old video tape and go running to the press with it, and even more disgusting when the federal leader of the broken down party chooses to make political hay with it in Ottawa.

I’m sure Jack Layton will push and push and push on this one. It will give him some air time and attention, something he’s desperate for because his politics hold us much water and make as much sense as the stupid things Lukiwski said.

Seventeen years ago.
