Peter MacKay Kinda Sorta Apologizes
Canada's foreign minister Peter MacKay has issued a public apology for being a dink. The apology came in the form of a brief tersely-worded press release from MacKay's office on Parliament Hill.
"I apologize for my silence in these past two weeks, signed Peter MacKay. There, is that enough?" read the press release. No mention was made of Belinda Stronach and the allegations that MacKay had referred to her as a canine in the House of Commons.
When contacted by the Sonny Drysdale Media Empire and asked if the apology was connected to his former girlfriend and former Conservative MP, all MacKay would say was, "Oh yeah, well she once called me a dickhead sucky-babe!" The phone line then went dead.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, when asked if MacKay's statement was indeed a public apology for the incident that has now become known as "Puppygate," and has dogged the minority Conservative government for days, neither confirmed nor denied that it was directed at Stronach.
"I can't speak for Peter MacKay," said Harper. "But let's just say that Pete is a young man with a good head on his shoulders. However, he's still young and single. Once he has finished sowing a few wild oats, settles down and gets married, I'm sure Pete will soon learn that 'Love means always having to say you're sorry."
When asked to comment on MacKay's apology, Belinda Stronach could not be reached. According to her office, she was having dinner with actor Vince Vaughn and was not to be interrupted.

Ralph Klein's joke is better than Deep Trout's.
