Globe n' Mail Has Hate On For Former PM

Yes it's official, Canada's National Birdcage Liner has decided to go after my good buddy ~~the Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney~~ The Person Who Must Not Be Named by dredging up this old Schreiber retainer stuff. As you saw by my response yesterday, I am sorely tempted to respond in some fashion, but Brian advised me to refrain, since it is still before the courts. "Take the high road, my son," he advised.

Whatever are they thinking down there on Front Street? My guess? Something to do with giving the poor old Puffin Party of Canada a shot in the arm. Boosting morale, nudging the polls, and all that.

I also see that the Puffins are complaining about lack of funds. Why don't they tap into some of the old sponsorship money that must be squirreled away somewhere?

Talk Tough Like Mike

•“Look, this is America and you have to decide what kind of country you want. This is your country as much as it is mine.” - 2004
*"Look, if I lose, I'll just move back to Massachusetts." - to the Harvard Crimson newspaper - 2006
*“If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you until I’m done.”
• "You're looking at someone who turned down the chance to become Prime Minister of Canada, and I did so, in part, because I felt it would divide the country."
• “I don’t need any lessons in legitimacy from Harper.”
• “He knows where to find me.”
• "He's creating a parliamentary crisis and dividing the country."
• "It’s his budget, not mine."
• "It's up to Harper to make the right decision and up to me to decide if he made it."
• "We're putting the government on probation."
•"Mr. Harper, your time is up.”
*"This is a prime minister who a year ago was trying to make you embarrassed if you liked opera or classical music or the ballet or poetry. I mean, come on, let's get over this. You can like hockey, you can like classical music. Let's stop playing Canadian against Canadian and taste against taste."
