The creature that would not die!
The Senate expenses scandal is the Energizer bunny -- it keeps going and going. Its Parliament Hill rock 'n roll -- it will never die. Its a Canadian T-Bird -- we'll have fun, fun, fun until, well, until whenever. And for the Harper Cons, its the Creature from the Black Lagoon -- it just won't go away!
Today, we find out that the Senate's pledge to give RCMP e-mails widens paper trail in expenses probe and that Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen apparently lied to the RCMP last June
Its all basically meaningless in the larger scheme of things, of course, but its very meaninglessness seems to be the reason why this story just won't quit.
When we've got a scandalous news story that isn't about anything that affects our daily lives -- like the economy, health care, or real estate -- then its just so much fun for the reporters to cover and for the people to read about, that nothing will stop it.

Happy Thanksgiving, America
You know what I'm not looking forward to?
It's about ten weeks until the Olympics begin.
And in that time, there will be ten thousand stories about how poorly prepared Russia is to host these games.
To be followed on Day 2 by the assembled world press expressing pleased and gratified surprise at how beautifully everything is going.
In other words, the usual Olympic narrative.

The Sgt Schultz defense
We're supposed to believe that not only did Harper know nothing about Wright's $90,000 cheque to Duffy, he also knew nothing about the previous plan to get the Conservative Party to pay Duffy's expenses and he knew nothing about the phone call to the auditors to try to stop the Duffy audit.
So what WAS Harper paying such attention to in February and March, 2013, that he didn't bother to ask anyone about the Duffy situation? Well, the NHL lockout ended in January, the Brier was in March, and in April Justin Trudeau was elected Liberal leader.
