Question for media: when are you going to use the word “lie”? Or one of its many forms like “he lied”. Or “the Liberal former Prime Minister, Paul Martin, lied”. Or “Paul Martin and many of his cronies in cabinet are in actual fact liars”. These are just samples. Be creative!
Or did Mr. Harper’s belly grow a bit more this week? Because if that’s true, then move a TV crew in on that sucker. Put it on the satellite. Get Mansbridge on the horn—“no Easter bunny for you this weekend, Peter—Harper’s bellys: she’s a big ’un!”. Film at eleven, eleven fifteen, eleven thirty, with repeats at 6:00, 8:00, 8:15, 9:45, and a special on “The Passionate Eye” at 8:00, immediately following Antiques Roadshow and The Simpsons (d’oh! Homer has a big ’un too!).

Not so, says Adams, who finds Dingwall’s leave-taking was “clearly involuntary.’’
“The circumstances surrounding his departure were highly coercive to the knowledge of the prime minister, the responsible minister and the clerk,’’ of the privy council, said Adams.
