No rules were broken?

Joe Volpe appears to be just plain stupid. Aside from never having had a chance to win the Liberal Leadership, his endorsement at convention, which might deliver a few delegates to tip the scale for a front-runner, is now worthless as well.

Joe Volpe is seeking to become the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. (Tom Hanson/Canadian Press)The donors included the 11-year-old twins and 14-year-old son of former Apotex Inc. vice-president Allen Shechtman.
Volpe’s spokesman Corey Hobbs said no rules were broken, and returning the money is simply a way to avoid misperceptions.
How dumb is that? People don’t care that “no rules were broken”. People care that you have a shred of ethical sense in your spine. Volpe clearly does not.
