Now that he’s seen as (a) responsible for bringing down Nigel Wright, who every Ottawa Conservative admired and liked, and (b) whipping the Press Gallery into a Tory-hating frenzy, Mike Duffy’s political life isn’t worth a plug nickel.
Heretofore, Duffy needs to sleep with one eye open, and a gun under his pillow. What Harper did to Mulroney with the Schreiber thing is nothing compared to what Harper is going to do to him, now.
It is going to be very, very ugly.
That’s a word I never, ever thought I’d see appended to Nigel Wright’s name: scandal. We don’t know each other, but we sort of know each other. Long story.
Anyway: it’s been a shocker, this mess. And now it’s claimed a guy who I thought scandal could never touch.
…no one’s got it, yet. But there’s a few million people who’d like to see it, following this (who broke the story) and this (who sat on the story, for weeks) and this (who wish they’d had the story) and this (who, like the rest of the world, think we are only “world class” in the “stupid electorate” category).
Until it makes its debut – and it will, unless one of Ford’s well-heeled backers gets to it first, to suppress it – we’ll have to make do with some pictures from the recent past (And a video! and a spread sheet!). Like many pictures, they tell us we shouldn’t really be so surprised.
(Oh, and don’t forget: this shows that Justin Trudeau is in over his head!)
(Oh, and I’d say some folks owe Sarah Thomson an apology right about now.)
Because his team won, that’s why. From my pal Mertl:
Great assessment by Josh Wingrove, done right, right here.
After what happened to BC NDP, the chances of a Spring election are somewhere between slim and none.
