Yes indeedy, according to the Grope & Fail article that was released not long ago; certainly after today’s episode of Question Period when Jane Taber did indeed ask Rob Nicholson about that. Earlier today, Nicholson basically passed the buck to the Ontario attorney general, just like the dutiful 1010 talkradio host John Tory (Yes, Astral Media must be oh so proud!) did, regarding the Rahim Jaffer case. After, Tory and Nicholson did what good Harpercons do best: blame the Liberals…or the Liberal biased media (a la Vic Toews.
True, the Ontario Attorney general who works for the Ontario Liberal Government is responsible and he does owe some kind of explantation as to what happened; what kind of backroom wheeling and dealing took place. After all, no matter what province we live in, generally that cocaine posession would warrant a light jail sentence at best; and Jaffer only gets a fine?
The problem with hiding and continuously blaming the Liberals or their Liberally biased media implies the Harpercons have something to hide even where Jaffer’s case is concerned. Once again, it goes to accountability. This kind of behavior clearly indicates anything but…especially since they’re trying to sell that whole tough on crime stuff.
In this instance, there are even Conservative pundits who are calling for explanations from both Jaffer, regarding his own conduct and the Ontario Attorney general, regarding what happened with the crown: did Jaffer get out free because of whom he’s married to?
Now Nicholson is saying the public has a right to know more about Jaffer.
“… This was a provincial police investigation, handled in a provincial court by a provincial Crown Attorney,” he said. “That being said, I understand in a general context that people want to know as much as possible. They want to have confidence in the criminal justice system.
Well…Well…I wonder how the Harpercon power couple are going to fair now?
Between the drunk and druggy and the shrilly shoe throwing shrew, Helena the Horrible’s antics at the Charlottetown airport, it is definitely all in who you know. After all, if any of us pulled that kind of shit at any airport that Guergis pulled, we would have been tasered and arrested; no question.
Ah, the poster couple for stability! I wonder what came first? His need for drugs and alcohol because he’s married to a shrew? Or is it she, who is fed up of coming in second to hubby’s drugs and alcohol as it is often the case with these co-depence type cases?
It would seem though, according to Craig Oliver, Guergis may be pushed out the door soon as she is becoming a political liability. No shit! Ya don’t say? If she is pushed out the door, no doubt, this will elicit not only another temper tantrum, but she will blame others for her own demise; not only the librul AG of Ontario, but also her hubby for his own vices. Then again, maybe they’re too afraid of her temper tantrums to get rid of her.
Well, that would certainly give her new reasons for her to turn blue.
The Eagles kind of said it all:
He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She’d say, ‘Faster, faster. The lights are turnin’ red.”
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin’ and burnin’, blinded by thirst
They didn’t see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worse
She said, “Listen, baby. You can hear the engine
ring. We’ve been up and down this highway;
haven’t seen a goddam thing.”
He said, “Call the doctor. I think I’m gonna crash.”
“The doctor say he’s comin’, but you gotta pay him cash.”
They went rushin’ down that freeway,
messed around and got lost
They didn’t care they were just dyin’ to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
