Political Heckling

At what point did heckles in the House of Commons become an issue worthy of headlines in the national media?

At the moment, I am watching CTV's Mike Duffy Live with Gloria Galloway with a grim look on her face saying that Peter Mackay should apologize for a comment he made off-camera to another MP during Question Period. Yes, he may have inferred that Belinda Stronach is a bitch. Who cares? Gloria Galloway!

You know what? I hope Minister Mackay doesn't apologize to see how long the media try to play this story out for. It just embarrasses the media and the opposition MPs who feign outrage over the "issue".

I would rather focus my attention on more pressing issues - like the length of my toenails.
