What Happens To Proxy Pablo?

I think we can all agree that Pablo got his questions from a CBC reporter. Angry in the Great White North, has a great post on that issue.

As I was getting ready for Christmas today, I was thinking about what happens to Pablo Rodriguez?

It should be up to the Liberals, but they seem to be doing nothing. From the comments of most Liberals, they don't think it's any big deal. So, the Liberals will hide this one, and hope it goes away over Christmas.

How about get him in front of the ethic's committee? Humm, that won't work, he was using the ethic committee to become a CBC proxy.

Okay, then, what can the Conservative party do? Not much more than what they have already done. Keep it going as an issue, and get the right people to look into the matter.

It appears it's up to the Government of Canada, what can the government do about Pablo? Seriously, the federal government is the only one that can act, so what are the options? I'm only a blogger, so I don't know, but it will be interesting to see what, if anything is done.

Actually, there's nothing the government can do about any collusion between Pablo Rodriguez and a CBC reporter.

He could be denied any further appearances before the Ethics Committee. But, that would be up to the Committee chair, Paul Szabo.

If the Liberals decide to do nothing about this (and why would they?) Rodriguez gets off scot free.

And why not? To be honest with you, Rodriguez did nothing different from what any other politican would do: namely, taking advantage of an opportunity that was being handed to him.

I actually find it hard to fault him for that. Let's not forget that politics is competitive.
