LAST WORD: Steffi has to do solo "stoop & scoop"...

After Danny Millions skips out on "dog and pony" photo op.
-- ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- Federal Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion's plan to deliver a joint blast at the Harper government with feisty Conservative Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams fizzled yesterday.

Williams, who has been waging political war on Prime Minister Stephen Harper who he accuses of breaking a 2006 election promise on offshore oil revenues, declared his meeting with Dion private, forcing the Liberals to cancel a scheduled photo opportunity with the two leaders.
Another Fiberal publicity stunt goes south
