One-time Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer and wife Helena Guergis have
become a political liability. Prime Minister Harper would be wise to
immediately distance himself from the controversy the pair have
generated for his party and his administration, skirt what’s fast
becoming a political soap opera, a distraction that might cost him his
lead in the polls as opposition MPs dredge up a message that Tory
corruption and endemic cronyism have fed their antics. Guergis should
quit her cabinet post to continue as a backbencher. Either she jumps or
is pushed, sooner rather than later.
