Something for all as “Senate 3” soap rolls on

There is pretty much something for everyone in the “Senate 3” soap opera. It was on again today. Newspaper writers are prepared to predict the immediate destruction of Stephen Harper, or forecast it will all go away. Chantal Hebert thinks Nigel Wright has it within his power to destroy Harper. Not only that, she thinks that daily assertions by the PM about Wright may prove to be a provocation that only a saint could withstand. If he yields to his hurt feelings, suggests Hebert, Wright would cause the conservative leader’s immediate demise. That could happen but Wright might have to lie to do it. Hebert doesn’t know what happened and neither does anyone apparently, except Wright and Harper.  It also assumes Wright’s capacity for hurt feelings is far greater than one would expect in a tough businessman who has made millions in the market. William Watson in the National Post observes that if regular medicare coverage isn’t good enough for Mike Duffy, it isn’t good enough for anybody. Watson reminds us again what a fat gang of entitled hacks is the Senate  Chamber of Sober Second Thought your dog’s tail. This sounds like something John A. Macdonald dreamed up at a Belleville public house when he wasn’t so sober.  Pictures clockwise from top, Harper, Wright, Hebert, Duffy, Macdonald,Watson.
