Shock! None were allowed to speak to the media afterward (wouldn't want them to say the obviously shameful "I'm new to this post but there are some challenges that I'm looking forward to...blah" quote) and Harpor managed to slyly point out that the depth of talent and trustworthiness in his caucus is thinner than his top lip.burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-49206442640225400342007-08-15T10:17:00.000-04:002007-08-15T10:17:00.000-04:00Chuck Strahl, a old Reformer - Indian Affairs?

Strahl - is this a joke?<BR/><BR/>I guess Guergis' current scandal with her and her family (nepotism big time) hurt her chances - maybe.<BR/><BR/>Bernier - is he taking place of MacKay in the movie star/sexy thing?

The three seem awfully similiar to me. Maybe its the workload is too much for one minister. I would be interested in finding out how the three are different and not just overlapping ones anyways.<BR/><BR/>As for Flaherty, he needs to go as well, the problem is Solberg is probably the only other qualified one and having the top two positions go to Albertans is not exactly good optics. Also the fact Jim Flaherty is one of the few Tory MPs from the GTA where the party needs to make gains if they want a majority may be another reason he is given a top post as since Garth Turner's expulsion from the Tories, Flaherty is now the closest Tory MP to Toronto.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-9804333880033917682007-08-14T22:49:00.000-04:002007-08-14T22:49:00.000-04:00knbI noticed Jeff and Scott also remember the same...knb<BR/><BR/>I noticed Jeff and Scott also remember the same obnoxious rhetoric.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-28428266252689177822007-08-14T22:36:00.000-04:002007-08-14T22:36:00.000-04:00I can't remember the show as a child, but it opene...I can't remember the show as a child, but it opened with "think back...way back", The Friendly Giant?...okay I'm old. <BR/><BR/>Didn't Harper say, something like, "until the critic in the opposition, has served, he has no right to an opinion" paraphrased, of course. At the time, I thought it ridiculous, because he excluded himself. Now, he put's someone in charge who of course has never served.<BR/><BR/>He set himself up...<BR/><BR/>Perhaps not as smart as everyone say's he is...or, maybe he is and he bet's that people will forget.
