Gerald Caplan clearly hasn’t been keeping up with his naked news, as Colby Cosh notes over at the National Post. “Somehow or other, some women in BC recalled [ousted NDP candidate] Julian West’s cavorting nude—12 years ago,” Caplan wrote on The Globe and Mail‘s website. (Those women were teenagers, incidentally.) “I guess it made a lasting impression on them, and obviously it was an amazingly stupid stunt for Mr. West to have pulled. But 12 years ago? And was this worse than Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz’s verbal idiocies, not to mention his failure to properly regulate meat products? … The world’s not a fair place.”

UPDATED: Well, at least he wasn’t smoking pot at the time.
Okay, is it just me, or is the current crop of NDP hopefuls in BC starting to sound more and more like escapees from a novel by a Canadianized Carl Hiassen? Not that that’s a bad thing!
