Jean Lapierre: carpetbagger or crackwhore?


Former Liberal Cabinet minister turned founder of the separatist Bloc Quebecois party cum TVA commentator has an allegation that the Liberals are colluding with the CBC.

What? How could it be that an employee of the TVA Group complains about Liberal questioning of Big chin Muldoon at his committee appearance about his tawdry acts and acceptance of $300,000 in bags of cash for no work with no receipts or bank records?

Could it be just a coincidence that since September 2001, Lapierre's employer has been part of the Quebecor family of companies [chaired by none other than Lyin' Brian Mulroney] and owned by Pierre Karl Peladeau, ironically the 2 individuals being fingered by the Liberals for influence pedalling on the Harper government's wireless spectrum decision are his bosses.

So the guy in a real conflict of interest invents a story about Liberal collusion with the CBC...that's rich.

PS: Or maybe it's just a distraction from this. Andrew Coyne writes a scathing review of Lord Vader's performance. And some people forgot why we hated him so...

If only all that would explain why Pablo Rodriguez showed up to a Ethics Committee hearing regarding Mulroney's dealings with Karlheinz Schreiber to ask a question about an unrelated topic.

Or why Liberal researcher Jay Ephart has confirmed that an unnamed CBC reporter "suggested" the questions Rodriguez asked.

Or why Rodriguez was granted time before the committee to ask the unrelated questions in the first place.

Or how an impending auction of wireless spectrum, to be contested between various bidders, constitutes any sort of a scandal.

Then again, considering you're clearly working so hard to try and invent a scandal where none actually exists it's not surprising to realize that you wouldn't recognize one that has actually occurred.
