Nice phrase, Scott

Ah, how I enjoy meeting up with a neat turn of phrase. I am indebted, therefore, to Liberal MP and leadership hopeful Scott Brison for his comment on Stephen Harper's muzzling of Conservative MPs regarding the impending marriage of two gay mounties.

Apparently the PMO has warned MPs not to comment on the upcoming nuptials of Constables David Connors and Jason Tree. Mr. Brison's comment on the gag order: "It shows that Stephen Harper does not trust his own caucus to avoid social Neanderthalism on these issues.''

"social Neanderthalism" -- brilliant.
