Rather than snoozing, heckling, or pretending to laugh at Peter Van Loan&#8217;s jokes, James Moore spent question period&#8230;on the <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\">Internet<\/span>&#8230;looking at&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/afp.google.com\/article\/ALeqM5hLAsffv7az6Jf0YM6Sa3Uvl_Ad9g\">a <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\">scantily<\/span> clad woman<\/a>!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family:arial;\">&#8220;There was an image of a scantily clad woman in very flimsy lingerie&#8221; on the computer of Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works James Moore, New Democrat MP Irene <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\">Mathyssen<\/span> told reporters. &#8220;It was dark in color and she was a brunette.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was, I would say, not hard porn by any stretch,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would describe it as soft porn, Playboy-type stuff .<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My first thought upon reading this was: <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\">ewww<\/span>&#8230;Irene <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_9\">Mathyssen<\/span> is, like, some sort of pornography classification expert. But those unnerving thoughts quickly turned to feelings of anger and rage. While Moore has flimsily tried to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctv.ca\/servlet\/ArticleNews\/story\/CTVNews\/20071205\/photo_allegations_071205\/20071205?hub=CTVNewsAt11\">defend himself<\/a>, this is perhaps Canada&#8217;s biggest sex scandal since the Munsinger Affair. I am therefore proud to be the first to call for a full public inquiry in order to answer the following lingering questions:<\/p>\n<p>Was Stephen Harper aware of this? Just how flimsy was her lingerie? Was this &#8220;playboy-type&#8221; soft porn or &#8220;Toronto Sun-type&#8221; soft porn? Is she Moore&#8217;s &#8220;girlfriend&#8221; as reported in some stories or just his &#8220;friend&#8221; as reported in others? Are they &#8220;in a relationship&#8221; on <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_10\">facebook<\/span> or are they at &#8220;it&#8217;s complicated&#8221;? If she&#8217;s single, what is her phone number? Given it&#8217;s a sex scandal, I assume Peter <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_11\">MacKay<\/span> must be somehow involved &#8211; how? Who is <a href=\"http:\/\/irenemathyssen.ndp.ca\/\">Irene <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_12\">Mathyssen<\/span> <\/a>and why have we never heard about her before? Did James Moore ever donate money to Jean <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_13\">Charest&#8217;s<\/span> leadership campaign? Has he ever signed golf balls? Did he dream of being a back bench MP when he was in kindergarten?<\/p>\n<p>Canadians demand answers.
