Three years before the political kickback arrangement behind the sponsorship scandal would become public at the Gomery inquiry, a friend of Jean Chrétien was bragging to aides of two cabinet ministers that the federal program was being used to assist the Liberals in Quebec, a new book reveals.The Chrétien friend, the controversial graphic designer Jacques Corriveau, is a pivotal figure in the scandal. He denied at the Gomery inquiry last year that he sought disguised donations for the Liberal Party from suppliers to the sponsorship program.However, according to a book to be released next week by Globe and Mail political reporter Daniel Leblanc, Mr. Corriveau met aides for Don Boudria and Paul Cauchon and said he had “a little scheme” that made the program help the party.(...)“He told me that the program had helped the party. He didn't talk about cash in envelopes but he spoke about a little scheme,” Alain Pilon, who was Mr. Boudria's chief of staff, is quoted as saying.
Oooh... ADSCAM helped the Liberal Party of Canada! Those scheming scoundrels, eh?
Wait... I think we already figured that out... but now we have more damning information...
Now the Liebrano$$$ are going to have to go back into defensive spinning mode... expect more angry denials, calling folks "liars" and possible threats of lawsuits... oh, yes... they're gonna go around saying stuff like "I am making war with you", poking folks in the nostrils and whatnot...
Eccellentissimo! The Liebrano$$$ again get poked with pointy sticks, their just desserts... you see, life is a ball again!
Be sure to read the whole article. It gets juicier... there's, ah, Joe Morselli, the RCMP, etc... read it!
And that's just a taste of the book upon which it is based... I bet it'll be a bestseller!
This'll be the Liberals' "On the Take: Crime Corruption and Greed in the Chretien-Martin Years".
Whatever happened to Stevie Cameron? Guess she was just a Liberal hack who hated the Tories and wanted to write a book to crap on them...
Listen up, Liebrano scoundrels: it ain't over. You can't breathe easy. But go ahead, delude yourselves that the scandal is over and that the three dozen RCMP investigations into you guys will quietly go away... and get caught with your pants down... unable to respond without stammering, red-faced, as well as red-handed... stupid poopheads...
