    Jason Kenney calls the deputy premier of AB an asshole in a widely distributed email. Glad that guy keeps getting voted in.

    UNBELIEVABLE!! Jason Kenney calls the Deputy Premier of Alberta an asshole, but refuses to say sorry when it becomes public. #youaintTheFonz

    Even Nixon apologized to my dad for calling him an asshole in private when it became public. “Jason Kenney, you sir, are no Richard Nixon.”

    I'm curious to see if Danielle Smith calls on Jason Kenney and the government to apologize to Lukaszuk and Albertans.

    I mean, Kenney COULD apologize. It'd be nice. Nothing wrong with saying sorry. But so what? Who cares, besides Lukaszuk? #cdnpoli #abpoli

    It does bother me that time is being wasted in Question Period on this one. I'm pretty sure Lukaszuk's feelings aren't *that* hurt. #cdnpoli

    In @kenneyjason's defense, calling Lukaszuk an asshole is the first time the Canadian public has ever heard him say anything honest #cdnpoli

    If Kenney will call Thomas Lukaszuk an asshole "privately", I wonder what he calls us.... #CDNPoli

    I work for a major corp. If I used my work email to call anyone an asshole, I'd be fired. Why aren't politicians not held to same? #cdnpoli

    Don't we have better things to worry about than who called who an asshole and who told who to chinga tu madre? #cdnpoli

    Lukaszuk: email “unfortunate choice of words” & joked “we’re …not going for a latte any time soon.” #HighFiveOnTheHighRoad #cdnpoli #ableg

    Thomas Lukaszuk showed a whole lot of class in his response to have been called an a-hole. And I thought I just liked his hair. #yeg #ableg

    At least Lukaszuk's not a STUPID, complete and udder a$$hole - that would be Kenney (and Harper, if no apology from Kenney demanded).

  15. Others say they agree with Kenney.

    Can we all just be honest about this though? Thomas Lukaszuk IS a pretty big asshole. #Canadastuff

    HAS ANYONE IN THE MEDIA INVESTIGATED WHETHER THOMAS LUKASZUK ACTUALLY MIGHT BE AN "ASSHOLE"? COVER BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY! #QP #cdnpoli

  18. Is Kenney calling the kettle black?  According to many people, yes.
