Sue him "Ceiling Vic" sue him!

OTTAWA - Manitoba MP Pat Martin was the life of Twitter Wednesday night as the Winnipeg Centre MP erupted in a stream of rants and attacks on Manitoba senior minister Vic Toews.
Around 9 p.m. Wednesday night Martin began ranting about money given to Youth
For Christ for its new youth building on Main Street and Higgins Avenue.
"All the money for inner city youth went to USA Youth for Christ. Big building, no benefit. Vic Toews Mr family values. What gives?"
Within the next half hour he added several more tweets on the subject including:
"All the money for inner city youth went to 'Youth For Christ', who are Vic Toews' donors and buddies, now the bldg is all but empty," and "it's a disgrace that Vic Toews gave ALL the money for inner city youth to his evangelical Youth For Christ. That got me going."
But Martin was not done.
Apparently egged on by some supporters then he really got going, this time taking the attacks to Toews' personal life.
When one twitter user asked Martin if he was "cruising for another lawsuit," Martin responded "F*** you my friend."
When some noted he was rather worked up Martin said: "I'm not 'worked up' so much as 'fed up' with the rat faced whores in the CPC who neglect to invite me to ancemnts in my riding."
Then he said "Look ... Given the parliamentary session we've just endured, the term 'rat faced whores' is using a great deal of restraint..."
Martin told the Free Press this morning he was angry because he found out last night he had not been invited to an announcement on refugee housing in his own riding on Tuesday.
"I got upset again," he said. "I just get so fed up with these guys."
Martin said the former Liberal government always invited opposition MPs to government announcements as a courtesy. The Conservatives he said never do.
Martin has been in trouble on Twitter before for telling someone to "F*** off." He is also facing a lawsuit from an Alberta robocall company who allege Martin slandered the company last winter.
Martin told the Free Press he was not officially commenting on the Youth For Christ situation because he had to do more research to find out if what he was being told is really true.
"It was private tweeting to my followers," he said.
Many people wondered what exactly was going on with Martin last night, with some backing him and others questioning the wisdom of his ways.
Manitoba Conservative MP Candice Bergen weighed in. "Oh my goodness ... What has gotten into @PatMartinMP tonight. He's rather worked up ... Maybe too much rum?"
Then she added: "some get stomach pains from bad eggnog others @PatMartinMP get mouth rot. Hopefully he feels better in the morning."
Bergen had her own, albeit less profanity laced, twitter argument recently. In a brief Twitter conversation with Karl Knox, a Montreal indie radio dj, on December 13, Knox accused Bergen of being "Canada's answer to Sarah Palin - just as dumb and as much of an ideologue."
Bergen responded on twitter about an hour later with a single word. "@knoxkp coward."
She did not take the bait the second time, when Knox replied: "Don't like the truth? Did you celebrate the killing of the registry on December 6? Drive your SUV to UQAM and try that crap."
