I have this vision of John Turner delivering the coup de grace: "You had an alternative, Mr. Mulroney, you had an alternative."

The Mulroney testimony is pure soap opera. He smirks, he cries, he boasts, he takes shots at the current PM! He snivels as he whispers how his family was scarred for life by these and the Airbus accusations.

And Schreiber lands in hospital having gall bladder surgery. That man will do anything to avoid being sent back to Germany! Is that one of his seven promised scandals?

Perhaps the CBC could turn the whole inquiry into a "Best of" special and hire Rick Mercer to narrate. It would be even more hilarious than the real thing once the boring bits were edited out.

It's one of those things where if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

In the meantime I shall content myself with watching Lyin' Brian squirm on the hotseat yet again. It was he, after all, whose example destroyed the honour of being a Canadian Conservative prime minister.

Re Town Issues:

I sincerely hope Mr. Partridge will give serious thought to running for Town Council next time.

His response to Ben's email makes absolute perfect sense. Why, oh why, can our elected councillors not see sense on anything? They are out of touch with the rest of us, and their stupid schemes are going to cause the Town terrible damage.

If any Liberal can do it,

Your thoughts on the Dhalla mess, with the tories and the evil Jason Kenney cast as the villians, are interesting. I hadn't thought the whole thing could be just a smokescreen to shield Mulroney.

But I see a flaw in this argument: the tories sent the former PM off on a lonely ice floe some time ago, didn't they? Why do they want to protect him now?

As for Dhalla, we'll never know the truth. Just another uppity woman driven out of politics either by others' dirty tricks or her own shameful greed. Either way, she will be gone and some of the boys on both sides of the fence will be pleased.
