I have been giving this 'scandal" a great deal of thought. Until the dawn, nothing! Then, this morning, sitting on the deck with my cup of tea, I saw a flash of light and fell dumbstruck from my chair. Picking myself up, everything was revealed. The Wright-Duffy story is the Christian myth of redemption. Let me explain.

The Duff had his frailties, as do we all, born to sin. He was unsure of where he lived and whether he was working for Senate or Party. Lost, he needed salvation. A prince, by all accounts, sitting at the right hand of the Divine Leader, offered Duff the gift of salvation. $90 000 with no strings attached. All the Duff had to do is accept and he would be saved from an inquiring hell. To his credit, the Duff accepted.

Saved, Duff soldiers on. Unfortunately, the Saviour was sacrificed on Parliament Hill.

Amen

Thanks be to the Party!

No, I checked, I didn't spell Trudeau wrong at all!! Your just sore that he's so stupid and stays in hiding!!

Oh great wise and all-knowing Durry. What could Trudeau the Young possibly add to this fiasco ?

Hand the Conbots the bullets whilst they shoot themselves in the feet ??

There is a time to stand back while the idiots chase each other over the cliff. Trudeau is doing just that.

Should you wish to join the fray, there's probably room at Smashed in Skull Buffalo Jump.

We would miss you, but sometimes we have to bear the cross.

Enjoy the remainder of the long weekend.

Considering that everything from the Harper Govt. on Duffy has been a lie, wrapped in a falsehood, covered in spin and coated with BS.
And of course you swallowed it. Now go and brush your teeth and rinse with mouthwash as I can smell that bad breath from here.

That's from chewing off the eastern arm of the metal weather vane. It was probably rusty too.

Oh Thanks, I'm glad my wisdom is finally being recognized.

The weekend has been great but I gotta work a lot of overtime to make some more money for the eastern equalization payments.

You know what it's like, no rest for us westerners as long as the easterners can't pay their bills!!

And the NDP have asked the RCMP to investigate- Guess they should include Mulcair for refusing a bribe and failing to report it for 17 years.
Durry- well he should go west and meet all those easterners.
And we in and from PEI were glad to see the last of Duffy- What a wanker.

Appears someone way back in your lineage missed the evolutionary boat trip.

Please welcome Nigel Wright, Steve's chief of staff on loan from Onex Corp and the latest member of Harper's Parade of Perps with Perks, for secretly cutting Mike Duffy a $90,000 personal cheque to paper over the senate investigation and Deloitte audit into Mike Duffy's creative housing expense claims and reports he billed the Senate for travel while campaigning for the Cons .


His salary, like that of all PMO staffers, is undisclosed. We also must trust he’ll not receive any favour should he return to the private sector, where, as the former managing director of a private-equity firm, he earned a reputation as a financial whiz.

Is all of this possible? Of course, it’s possible. Almost anything’s possible. Some people like to surprise people they’re not all that close to with gifts. Maybe Nigel Wright is the Oprah Winfrey of Ottawa. Some people can and will pay $90,000 just to make a problem go away, and there’s no question that Mr. Duffy’s expense claims, and increasingly Mr. Duffy himself, are a problem for the Conservatives.

People seem to have nice things to say about Nigel Wright, which makes me wonder why he would put our famously polite nation in this awkward position. That Mr. Duffy now sits as an Independent, where he is still on our dime and still voting on bills on our behalf, makes none of these questions go away.

I know how you feel. I probably paid enough income tax this weekend for two welfare cheques or one dinner for a politician in Ottawa. I think they left me enough for a tank of gas if they didn't raise the theft on that in the past week.

Ho ho ho, you don't know the half of it! You haven't driven past any gas stations?
