Get the Tory dominated Senate to ditch Wallen and Duffy and it's all "Nothing to see here, folks, move along. By the way did you hear about that dandy new trade deal I negotiated with the Euros? And wait til you get to finally get your revenge on your greedy cable provider!"The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-15169953383990460472013-10-18T20:17:12.009-04:002013-10-18T20:17:12.009-04:00I'm sure, Kirby, that The Puffster is evaluati...I'm sure, Kirby, that The Puffster is evaluating all contingencies, given his innate capacity for self-preservation and promotion.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-82888509499047123612013-10-18T19:14:26.066-04:002013-10-18T19:14:26.066-04:00I can't help thinking that the PMO has negotia...I can't help thinking that the PMO has negotiated significant Cayman Islands' bank accounts Wallin and Duffy to keep them quiet. Otherwise, surely this move will turn Duffy into a singing canary. Without payments for silence eventually someone will break these scandals wide open.

If these allegedly errant Senators deserve to be suspended without pay, it should be even more important to suspend the one who had appointed them without due diligence. At the least, it will prevent the "dealer" from creating more "addicts".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-47071926501839626832013-10-18T11:44:07.816-04:002013-10-18T11:44:07.816-04:00Despite his girth, Owen, The Puffster is indeed tr...Despite his girth, Owen, The Puffster is indeed transparent in both his motivations and his actions.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-18943851851599546202013-10-18T11:35:37.077-04:002013-10-18T11:35:37.077-04:00It's like getting a note from his mother to ex...It's like getting a note from his mother to explain his absence from school, Lorne.
