When you have no credibility in your portfolio, and your upbringing was stuffing envelopes for Karkheinz Schreiber, I guess that circling the wagons in Puppygate and trotting out Mulroney's former Chief of Staff, Patronage appointee, and tobacco lobbyist to spin for you must make sense in some demented way.
Here is my rough transcription from the quote from this morning's Bill Good show by Norman Spector:
This a pretty humiliating issue...dumping a guy for a Cabinet post. This is a tremendous political issue...The other thing that's changed in Ottawa is that half of the press gallery are women and women find this very offensive...You and I might have a different word for a dog, at least I would have a different word for a dog that I would use to describe her to decribe what she's done to the Domi family and how she dumped Peter MacKay.That's right. Don't call women dogs because they're half the press gallery!
CTV News reported tonight that Spector actually called Stronach a bitch. Spector refused to apologize but did not deny rumours that he was trolling for a 3rd Tory patronage appointment as head of Status of Women Canada. Apparently when he gets through with them, women will know not to speak out...
Word on the street is that Gravel, Stevens, LaSalle and Bissonnette will be trotted out to support Potato Patch Pete in the days to come.
Someone should ask Lord Vader if he agrees with his former Chief of Staff's comments.
