Jackas!!!!!!!!

Same OLD, Same Old, Enough time for this bullshit to stop.. Issues folks, it about the issues..
Atkinson admonished for 'jackass' comment. This what people voted for I donot think so.

By Angela Hall, Saskatchewan News Network; Regina Leader-
Note-passing and name-calling landed a couple of MLAs in hot water Tuesday as the second day of the spring legislative sitting took an unruly turn.
New Democrat Pat Atkinson was called on the carpet by Saskatchewan Party Premier Brad Wall for using the word "jackass" during question period.
Thinking the insult was meant for him, Wall rose in the assembly to admonish Atkinson for her language.
Atkinson later apologized and withdrew the remark, but said it was directed at another MLA, Mike Chisholm, and not the premier.
"It's not my fault that Mike Chisholm sits behind Brad Wall," Atkinson told reporters outside the assembly. "I want you to know I did not say the words 'jackass' out loud. I did mouth the words 'jackass.' "
She said she uttered the remark in response to a note Chisholm sent her in the house in which Chisholm asked her if a struggling cattle producer she referred to in an earlier debate received any cash from a recently announced government aid program. Chisholm also said he could help the producer fill out the forms, she said.
"I thought the note was callous, mean, sarcastic, not acknowledging that there really are people in the province that are in great difficulty in the livestock industry," said Atkinson, the NDP's agriculture critic and deputy leader.
"I think that his note was the kind of note that would be sent by someone who is a jackass."
However, Chisholm insisted his note was a sincere offer of help.
"I am an accountant. That's what I do for a living. So if somebody needs some help filling out the form, I'm more than pleased to do that," he said.
Wall later joked about the incident -- noting the word Atkinson uttered is frequently used by one of the main characters on the Saskatchewan-filmed TV show Corner Gas. But he said he drew attention to Atkinson's remark because "you want to get that sort of thing on the record."
"And it's Day 2 of the legislature, so where we can stop it on both sides, how about we stop it."
Name-calling by MLAs has been an issue in the past. Last year, Chisholm resigned as a legislative secretary after referring to New Democrat MLA Deb Higgins as a "dumb bitch."
