Ethics Committee, Continue To Hang Yourselves

So, PM Harper has called a limited inquiry, to be started after the ethics committee is done. How much rope does the ethics committee need to hang themselves?

Ethics, are seriously lacking on the ethics committee.

So far we have:

1. Liberal Robert Thibault going to visit Schreiber at least 2 times over the summer.
Liberals shortly after start pushing for Schreiber to stay in Canada, they want an inquiry.
2. Schreiber implicates the PM's office by saying he and ex-PM Mulroney made a business arrangement 2 days before Mulroney left office.
3. PM Harper appoints an independent individual to advise him, and says he is willing to call a full inquiry if David Johnston recommends it.
4. Robert Thibault makes libelous comments about former PM Mulroney.
5. Mulroney sues Thibault.
6. Schreiber gets called in front of the ethics committee, assuring he gets to stay in Canada.
7. Liberal Szabo, the committee chair, apoligizes to Schreiber because his pants fell down, he also lets Schreiber drone on and on about nothing.
8. Schreiber reveals that he paid Mulroney cash for lobbying after he left office.
9. Mulroney gets called to the ethics committee.
10. Thibault refuses to stand down from questioning Mulroney, even though he is being sued by Mulroney. Definite conflict of interest. Typical arrogant Liberal.
11. Next up Pablo Rodriguez, (not a member of the ethics committee)asks a totally off topic question, the Conservative members protest the line of questioning, Liberal Szabo, let's the question continue.
12. Mulroney tries to read in the terms of his appearing, Szabo shuts him up.
13. Conservatives call for a vote, to the shame of the NDP and Bloq members, they vote with the Liberals. Total lack of Parliamentary responsibility and ethics on their part, total partisan voting is in order.
14. On Mike Duffy Live, it is revealed that a CBC reporter fed the questions to Pablo.
15. Pablo says no way, he wrote his own questions, in English, a language he never uses.
16. Conservative party asks CBC to investigate.
17. CBC admits that one of their reporters (yet to be named) overstepped the bounds.
18. Pablo is revealed to be lying.
19. David Johnston says inquiry should be limited to after ex-PM Mulroney left office.
20. Liberals cry foul, but do not investigate their own party for lack of ethics.
21. Limited inquiry is called, after ethics committee is done questioning whoever is still living after 15 years.
22. Ethics committee continues to look like idiots, and Liberals think they are getting away with it.
23. Liberals continue digging under stones, hang themselves on excess rope given to them to continue the inquiry.

Coming up:

CBC reveals the name of the reporter who fed questions to Pablo, she/he squeals like a stuck pig, Liberals, call the Puffins in to hide excrement, too late. It's going to look good on them.

Layton made a big mistake siding with the Liberals, his new boy, Mulcair, is an ambulance chasing lawyer, slimy, and without ethics. HA, and he's on the ethics committee. Watch your back Layton.

PM calls inquiry into Mulroney-Schreiber affair

"In determining the scope of any public inquiry, the government must make a 'cost benefit analysis' to determine how wide-ranging the public inquiry should be,'' Johnston says in his report.

"In this case, I conclude that the integrity concerns described above do not warrant a lengthy inquiry into matters that have been investigated by the RCMP since 1995. Nor should there be an inquiry with respect to facts already known."

Johnston suggests in his report that the inquiry focus on whether Mulroney acted improperly in 1993 when he accepted cash payments from Schreiber to lobby on his behalf to promote a German-built military vehicle.

If the ethics committee had any ethics, they would declare their investigation done, and allow the real inquiry to begin. I suspect that like a dog with a bone, they won't let it go, and the rope will get tighter. Voters are already sick and tired of this, as it drags on, the opposition, unable to score any points against PM Harper will look less and less attractive. Who wants some rope?
