Sounds Like Big "L" Liberalism To Me

Poor Matt Taibbi. He is writing about the American healthcare debate:
It won’t get done, because that’s not the way our government works. Our government doesn’t exist to protect voters from interests, it exists to protect interests from voters. The situation we have here is an angry and desperate population that at long last has voted in a majority that it believes should be able to pass a health care bill. It expects something to be done. The task of the lawmakers on the Hill, at least as they see things, is to create the appearance of having done something. And that’s what they’re doing.
That describes every Liberal government we have had for 30 years. I know he is describing a Liberal government, because if he was describing a Conservative government he would have said that they wanted appear to be doing less than nothing.

Robert "Arar Must Be Guilty Because Someone Told Me" Fife Strikes Again

This time Bob was told that the Liberals concocted the wafer story:
Lisa, most of us will remember the story that went all around the world about the prime minister apparently not eating the host when he was at the funeral of former governor general Romeo LeBlanc. That story was first published in the St John Telegraph Journal which is owned by the billionaire Irving family. The prime minister hit the roof. Well, today, a grovelling apology from the paper. They said the story was not true. So what happened? Well, I'm told that the Liberals passed the story to young Jamie Irving who was the publisher of the paper. He passed it to the editor who put it in the paper without checking it out, and today the editor has been fired, and Jamie's father has suspended his son for thirty days, and I'm told the prime minister is pretty thrilled with that. (emphasis mine)
Who told Bob Fife it was all a Liberal plot? The Liberals? The Catholic Church? The Irvings? Or, was it someone in the PMO? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Update: Just to refresh everyone's memory. This isn't the first time Bob has been used as a helpful stenographer.

It Is Never The Crime That Gets You

It is always, always, always the cover up. This story has legs. What was merely an embarrassing incident for the PM, has suddenly blossomed into a scandal. But of course, we all know is responsible for this, don't we? Yes that's right, the Liberals.

Shorter Michael Warren

Since public sector unions have succeeded in getting more for their members than those in the private sector, the answer is to take away the gains from the public sector workers. Our motto should be "A race to the bottom for all (except CEO's, naturally)".
