Spineless, weak, desperate, pathetic

Words to describe our Prime Minister. Caving to grinning Jack Layton is possibly the most craven and stupid act by the leader of our country since Confederation. Craven, because it betrays an absolutely limitless fear of losing power. He's so afraid of meeting the electorate that he's willing to publicly prostrate himself to this opportunistic hack. Stupid because Chuck Cadman has already announced he won't back the government, so even with the NDP Martin can't prevent a non-confidence motion.

Andrew Coyne is shaking his head -- and his readers are joining him.
