Rahim Jaffer Turns Page

Startling news out of the Rahim Jaffer-Helena Guergis love nest today. Feathers were flying at their Byward Market MP shag palace after an Ottawa newspaper reported that the renowned skirt chaser - yes it was him and not an impostor - topped off his legover resume by chasing and landing a House of Commons page four years ago.

The then 18-year-old page says the steamy romance with the "party-all-the-time'' former Alberta coffee baron blossomed at the end of her one-year stint fetching beverages for MPs on the Commons floor. She never said when the seed was planted.

Jaffer's indiscretion and reports of other Reform-Canadian Alliance and Conservative MP dalliances with underage pages is raising eyebrows. An outraged Guergis, according to sources, clutched the crucifix dangling from her neck and instructed Jaffer that he was never to wear her panthose again. (Has anyone ever asked why the self admitted part Syrian, part Jewish Guergis wears a crucifix).

Sources say the last thing President Harper needs is a sex scandal on the heels of Fawning Affairs Minister Peter MacKay's blunder by referring to former girlfriend Belinda Stronach as a dog last week and then lying about his disgraceful and shameful behaviour to Canadians.

Insiders say pages, who are instructed to report sexual harassment to supervisors, have been discreetly warned to stay as far away as possible from Conservative MPs Rob Anders and Pierre Poilievre.
