By Montreal Simon It couldn’t have been a more pathetic sight. An angry Stephen Harper lashing out at everybody but himself. Looking absolutely desperate, and sounding like a robot. From cbc.ca: “Growing visibly more angry with every allegation coming from a senator that he appointed, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said during question period on Tuesday […]

Duffy: More where that came from
By Montreal Simon Well as you know I’ve long predicted that Mike Duffy would be Stephen Harper’s nemesis. That he knew enough to expose the conniving thugs in the PMO and their shameless scams.
