At least she didn't call them bastards this time... Honestly, I think Parrish is speaking what is on the minds of *many* Canadians.
Many are dumfounded that he was elected and many feel that America is out of step with the rest of the world.
I agree that it isn't all that diplomatic but ironically she is displaying the very characteristics that Americans find appealing in Bush -- i.e. she says it like is, she shoots from the hip, etc.
There isn't much Martin can afford to do. He can reprimand her but he can't kick her out of caucus. To do so would diminish his already weakened status in the Commons. He needs her votes.
As for what will the Americans think of this? Answer: Apparently not much. The rest of the world (according to the polls) generally is against Bush and yet the US still elected the guy.
