This is getting quite icky politically. The publication ban was lifted and BOOOM...the media feeding frenzy began. This is everyone's lead story and will be for the foreseeable future. Everything will be tied into this...
Projected Future Headline: Aliens Land in Minneapolis - Ties to Jean Brault being explored
Another Future Headline: Nuclear War Breaks Out in China as Gomery Hearings Expanded
The testimony of Jean Brault is naming names and every Liberal party politician is ducking and running for cover. Martin has clammed up...press reports state that he is maintaining a 'stoney silence'. Stoney silence my ass, he is dodging reporters questions and hiding from the media. I love this quote:
"The challenge that this Liberal government issues to Stephen Harper and the Conservatives today is this," said Martin spokesman Scott Reid.
"Will the leader of the Opposition give Canadians a guarantee that he will let Justice (John) Gomery report his findings - that he will not force voters into an election until they have the answers that this prime minister has said that they deserve?"
What hubris!!! The Martin administration is up to its ass in alligators and is challenging the opposition parties to wait until all of this has blown over? What kind of morons do they take the voters to be? There will be an election in the Spring for certain.
I also think the Separatists will be forcing another referendum and I would be surprised if many Quebecers were not sick to death of the Liberal party kleptocrats. I hope like hell that the Canadian voters learn from this that politicians of the same party that is chock full of corrupt politicians make awful governments.
Ponder this...This scandal is:
- likely to provide a jump start to the Separatist movement, once thought dead; and
- it is going to take down the current administration; and
- it is likely to provide the Conservatives a realistic shot at a better split coalition or maybe even a majority; and
- it is probably going to result in criminal proceedings against ALOT of important people.
Those who think this will blow over or not provide any lasting damage need to change their medication. Merely the on-going criminal proceedings will take years. That is YEARS of negative headlines for the Liberal party as this amazing plot is unfolded in court case after court case. The made for TV movie will win oscars down here in Yankee land.
This is fascinating stuff...envelopes stuffed with cash dropped off, fake billings with huge pay outs, party bosses getting kickbacks, suicides...this is every bit as enthralling as the Watergate coverup. Especially when you gloss the whole thing over with the Quebec Separatist movement. Zowee! Can I write the film script?
