I 'm Ethically Entitled to My Entitlements

From the Oct 21 editorial in my local rag is this.

"NDP MP Ed Broadbent asked, at a House committee hearing this week, if Dingwall felt he was ethically entitled to severance pay --given his mint salary of $277,000 a year, voluntary resignation and generous pension he'll receive as a former Liberal cabinet member.

I think I'm ethically entitled to the entitlements, which I believe are owing to me," Dingwall said.

That said it all."

It sure did. In past history there was a doctrine of governing called the Divine Right of Kings. In Canada today we are governed by a political party that believes in the Divine Right of Liberals.
