2237...And You Didn't Think Things Could Get

Any worser for Helena Guergis, the former Harperite cabinet minister, it does.

CTV News reports that the Conservative Party’s National Council informed Miss Guergis on yesterday that she has been bounced as the nominated candidate for Simcoe-Grey.

Sources told CTV News that the former minister was removed as a candidate because the Conservative Party is concerned an election could be called at any moment and they need to have nominated candidates in all 308 ridings. And, reading between the lines, they don't want her as part of their team.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper kicked her out of the caucus last month and called in the RCMP and Ethics Commissioner to investigate unspecified allegations. She was forced to resign from the cabinet and had to move her desk out into the hall.

Annus horriblus.
