That is how Warren Kinsella ends his comment on the whole Michaelle Jean affair.
...So what happened, then?
Well, there are two possibilities. Either the allegations were thoroughly checked out by RCMP/CSIS, and disproved. Or, two - and this one is frightening - RCMP/CSIS knew, and let it happen anyway, because they (like plenty of other non-political types in Ottawa) dislike the Martin crew, and wanted to embarrass them.
I enjoy egg on the faces in Langevin as much as the next guy, believe me. But knowingly and maliciously handing the keys to Rideau Hall to a couple who allegedly cavort with FLQ killers? Christ Jesus, that's extraordinary. Can you imagine something like this ever happening under any administration in the United States? Me neither.
If I were Martin - and, speaking on behalf of both of us, I'm delighted I'm not - I would haul in the Mounties and CSIS onto the carpet, and demand to know how the Hell this (allegedly) got past them. Is it true? And, if so, how in the name of God did they not tell anyone in PMO?
Warren didn't include the third possibility, which Premier Lord spoke to. The PMO was in too much of a hurry to appoint such a perfect representative of the "New Canada" that they cut corners in their homework. Brilliant move guys.
