Tempting… so tempting.
When a guy like The Jackal makes it his life’s work to humiliate others, it’s very tempting to want to name and shame his party-employed tart, if only for her poor taste in men. It’s tempting to want to drag his beleaguered wife and kids through the mud in an effort to find out if this particular “man” has any remorse at all for the way he’s treated others over the years.
But alas, I’m torn. It’s really not his wife’s fault that he’s a bastard, and she was right to throw him out of their home in the Beaches. It’s certainly not for the children to have to pay for their father’s philandering. Of course, taking the high road can get pretty useless after a while, too, given that’s how we lose wars.
As for naming the woman who screwed a married father of - I think it’s three kids - does she deserve the discretion we would afford the wife and children? No. Speaking as a woman who made a living out of fucking other women’s husbands, I happen to know you go into it with your eyes wide open. Before your moist panties are ever flung across an Ottawa hotel room, you accept the fact that you are pissing on someone else’s territory.
Perhaps Lisa should have thought of that before she fucked someone’s father.
No, it isn’t his wife’s fault. But she seems to have been dealing with the SOB.
Personally, with much the same information you have, I am inclined to see what the Jackal does, if anything, before making the next move. Were he to vanish - take down his blog, stop wearing his clown makeup on CTV - I would accord him and her and the other her the privacy I think people deserve. Bad choices are just that. They are not final.
On the other hand, as long as this turd has even the semblance of influence in the Liberal Party, much less on the none too pure Iggy, he needs to be held to public account. We’ll see.

Why is everybody torn about this? Sure, his kids should stay out of it, but I’m sure they’re already aware that Mom hates Dad and Dad ain’t coming home anytime soon. Do you really think they’ll Google the reason why?!
As for his wife, she’s enabled his bullshit all these years, she should expect blowback when the shit hits the fan. Hell, look at who she’s going to war with, do you think she’s more worried about what bloggers have to say, or what that scum-bag will start spreading?
This scumbag deserves nothing less than to be completely and utterly destroyed, personally and professionally. Anything less would be uncivilized™.

Naughty boys, and naughty girls, like the ones who wear the pearls! Yep, it’s easy to find a target now a days! Lot’s of screwing around going on, question is who is screwing who? Want to play it safe? Join a religion that allows you to have many wives, or drop into Bountiful B.C. if you like the teen girl thing. Join the Boy Scouts if you want other things. Sadly, a lot of the Spanish Inquisition types are on the hunt, not because of their morals, just good, old fashioned jealousy!
