It's been two days since senator Don Meredith resigned from the Con caucus after being accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenage girl.
And since then the Cons have been desperately trying to distance themselves from yet another of Stephen Harper's stellar appointments.
But they cannot or will not explain why Harper would appoint a man to the Senate who was once rejected as a candidate by Ontario's Progressive Conservatives.
“We talked to him, we met with him, and we rejected him,” said a provincial Conservative insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to be seen questioning Harper’s judgment.
And with good reason. For it was all about pleasuring his rabid religious base, and all about bigotry.
