Canadian MP under fire for blog entry

Canadian MP Monte Solberg has come under fire after he posted comments to his blog mocking Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin as Paul Martin Luther King and urging him to take his “hairy knuckles back to Selma, Alabama.”

The Gazette reports that the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office has condemned Solberg’s comments.

“Mr. Solberg’s blog drips with Conservative Party disrespect and disdain for the charter, the Supreme Court, basic human rights and, astonishingly, the legacy of Martin Luther King,” spokesperson Scott Reid said.
