Grasping at straws much?

daemonlunaSo Stephen Harper is now saying that the Bloc Québécois's vote on Bill C-38 (legalizing same-sex marriage) shouldn't count, because they're separatists. Nyah, nyah, nyah. (Actually, what he said was when it passes it'll "lack legitimacy.")
Harper branded Bill C-38 the product of an illegitimate union. "I think because this bill is only being passed with the support of the BQ, I think it will lack legitimacy with most Canadians. The truth is most federalist MPs will oppose this legislation," he said.
Yeah. Sure, Stephen. (Also, "illegitimate union?" Up there with "premature election.")
And what does the Bloc say?
BQ MP Richard Marceau says equating an issue of equality rights with Quebec separation is unbelievable. "I would say to Stephen Harper, 'Stephen take a break you need one. Forget the barbecues, you need to go home and relax.'"
