I guess Stef was so pumped about his moment in the sun... he didn't realise that the Prime Minister had just announced a full public enquiry into the Mulroney allegations... so his angry posturing a moment later... demanding that self-same enquiry... came off looking like a demented senior's moment.
You've also gotta love the manufactured outrage over the Conservative's failure to immediately jump on the so-called "smoking gun" Schreiber evidence.
-- OTTAWA -- Karlheinz Schreiber sent copies of red-hot documents to the Liberals and NDP two weeks ago detailing correspondence with Prime Minister Stephen Harper but neither party reacted to the provocative contents.Still... you never wanna let the facts get in the way of disingenuous leftbot theatre.
Still, the opposition hammered away at Harper today over his insistence that he never saw any letters sent to him by the controversial German businessman in 2006 and 2007.These guys just have no shame.

LAST WORD: Oh, Steffi... always a bridesmaid
-- OTTAWA -- Canadians say the Conservative government deserves the benefit of the doubt over the Brian Mulroney controversy, while rejecting the notion of giving a similar break to the former prime minister.
A new Strategic Counsel poll for The Globe and Mail/CTV News finds that 66 per cent of those surveyed believe the allegations about Mr. Mulroney are totally unrelated to the current Conservative government, while only 19 per cent think they are related.
