May be he was drunk. I will ask members of his Alcoholics Anonymous group; when they cascade off the wagon they drink at the Mayflower on Elgin Street in Ottawa and are wont to share.
It has been widely reported, especially in the Maritimes, that Senator Michael Duffy, quoting Metro Halifax, declared "In a speech Saturday to Conservative party members in Amherst, Duffy reportedly slammed journalism programs for churning out leftist graduates."
" 'When I went to the school of hard knocks, we were told to be fair and balanced,' Duffy was quoted from his speech in yesterday's issue of the Amherst Daily News. 'That school doesn't exist any more. Kids who go to King's, or the other schools across the country, are taught from two main texts.' "
Fair and balanced, yeah, that describes Senator Duffy to a "T". He kissed Liberal ass, begging to get into the Senate that is he kissed Liberal ass until the minute the Stephen Harpers got in power and then he kissed Conservative ass. And his TV show was, well, what is the nice word for crap?
What really pisses off the man who is the poster child for an elected Senate is the fact that King's College in Halifax teaches critical thinking. OMFG, we don't want that, do we?

ReplyDeleteOwn the Immodium...this guy give me the shits!
Duffy was a proud graduate of "The School of Hard Knocks". Poor guy might have taken one too many knocks on his cranium. lol
ReplyDeleteInstead of 'shoot the messanger' why not address the message?
ReplyDeleteUnlike Dan Shields (?) I did not attend King's so I can't comment on the course.
He just suffers from Fox envy. Imagine his life in a parallel universe where he grew up in Sioux City, South Dakota, and followed the bright lights down south.
ReplyDeleteCan we donate him?
"Duff" was always a bit of a conservative - particularly in the fiscal realm. The "Reform-a-tories" aren't his traditional stomping ground, but if it gets the appointment...
ReplyDeleteRecall being in Ottawa, in the upstairs lounge at the Westin (in 2004), when he was shamelessly schmoozing we Liberals. He was also busy "grabbing" the attention of some young Liberal women... He probably bought drinks for anyone sitting around the bar counter that night, and seemed to be pretty consistent in his approach to anyone from the "Paul Martin Team".
Some people are just born to sell themselves...
