Guergis aide posed as regular voter in letters to editor

[CHIMO]

OTTAWA — Embattled junior Conservative cabinet minister Helena Guergis says she had no idea her office assistant has been sending pro-Guergis letters to local newspapers posing as a regular voter.

Guergis, already under fire for an airport security tantrum last month in Charlottetown, says her riding assistant has agreed the letter campaign was inappropriate and has apologized.

The assistant used her married name, rather than the maiden name she uses in her professional life, to send letters defending Guergis to newspapers in her Simcoe-Grey riding northwest of Toronto — without any hint that they came from a Guergis employee.

Liberal MP Wayne Easter notes that all cabinet members have a media clipping service that details every newspaper reference, so it is simply “unfathomable” that Guergis or her department didn’t know about the letters.

A lot of ghosts around.

1. She apologized to her boss, and not to the newspapers she defrauded?

They are so out of touch.

2. Rahin Jaffer had an impersonating staff member too

They make quite a couple.

3. How many times can she shit in the watering hole before

Harper banishes her from the herd?
