And I've heard some other stories about Ol' Duff that I can't repeat in the name of decency. But it's quite clear he had special dispensation, until he didn't, and now they're trying to throw him under the bus. My warning to them would be this one: he may or may not have the evidence to sink them on the Senate scandal, but he does have enough stories they really wouldn't want the public to hear...<br />Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-56851730704437810762013-10-31T05:42:55.593-04:002013-10-31T05:42:55.593-04:00hi e.a.f...after watching Flaherty during Question...hi e.a.f...after watching Flaherty during Question Period in the last two weeks I don't think he's in very good shape. For he seems in a world of his own most of the time, and on the few occasions when he says something he seems to struggle to get out the words. But I'm not ruling out that he is disgusted by what he sees. As for Duffy, I have to admit I'm a bit concerned about his health too, because the stress must be enormous, especially for someone with a heart condition, and those grotesque Cons would like nothing better than for him to keel over and die. However, if he does survive I think he could write a book that could be very embarrassing to the Harperites. At least of such things do I dream...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-33228258345443876922013-10-30T05:46:50.139-04:002013-10-30T05:46:50.139-04:00When it first became obvious that the party had at...When it first became obvious that the party had attempted to interfere with public disclosure of his questionable housing allowance claims, I suspected that an attempt was being made to prevent further scrutiny of the Senator’s travel, temporary accommodation and hospitality expenses. I had believed for some time that the party had concluded an informal arrangement with Duffy whereby he had been given to understand that some flexibility on is Senate expenditures would be considered to compensate him for his “expanded role in the party”. I recalled that sometime in 2009 he had been called to account by the opposition for having submitted claims for what seemed to be excessive expenses incurred during various “outreach” tours.<br /><br />Refer to:<br /><br />Duffy P.E.I.'s most expensive senator<br /><br />CBC News<br />November 11, 2009 <br /><br />http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/story/2009/11/11/pei-senator-duffy-expenses-584.html<br /><br />“During his first three months in the red chamber, Conservative Senator Mike Duffy racked up more than $100,848 in travel and office expenses, more than double the average of what the other three Island senators spend in a typical quarter.”<br /><br />See also:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naV6EK1rbGY<br />John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-55329480069800812372013-10-29T22:47:10.969-04:002013-10-29T22:47:10.969-04:00The picture at the top, it looks like Jim Flaraghe...The picture at the top, it looks like Jim Flaraghety has a very bad tooth ache. He seemed to have had it the other day and it seems to have remained with him. Alas, poor Jim may see the end is ney, even though stevie slime doesn't. Perhaps he actually believes he can continue to stone wall Mulcair. People are actually starting to notice stevie is repeating the same thing over adn over and not answering the question.<br /><br />Even if stevie manages to have the 3 senators turfed from the Senate, expect Mike Duffy to write a tell all with a release date close enough to the next federal election, that it will sink stevie and all his cons. We have Stevie Cameron's On the Take, the Mulroney Years, now we will have Mike Duffy's, I took them down, when they tried to throw me under the bus.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
