Schreiber fatigue? - With lots of updates

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

(Updates at end)

Jason Kenney mentioned on MDL tonight that he hasn’t had one email from a constituent regarding Karlheinz Schreiber. Outside of Parliament, MSM and political junkies like you and I, one wonders how many people are talking about it.

What do you think?

Are ordinary Canadians at the local Timmy’s obsessed with KHS? Or is not even on their radar?

My guess is that Jason is right.

Updates for political junkies - Schreiber extradition likely to be delayed. (CTV)

Justice Department won’t block Schreiber’s appeal to stay in Canada. (CBC)

And Garth Turner figures Stephen Harper is toast - Apparently, there is a secret diagram…

Important: Check out MDL clip of party strategists for tonight. Liberal strategist Don Moors says something at the end which makes the other two go, “Oh, oh!!!”

Don Moors:

“You can’t call a public inquiry Mike, and then have an election before we get to the bottom of the matter…”

The Liberals will be pulling the plug in February, folks. You can take that one to the bank.

Thursday Update: National Newswatch has all kinds of tantalizing links for you Mulroney-Schreiber junkies, like Schreiber Ready to Talk. Will he? Won’t he? How is it that one old man has hijacked a whole country’s attention and all the taxpayers’ money that is needed to put on this circus?

Here’s a good one for Pat Martin: Schreiber also donated to Liberals:

Karlheinz Schreiber is in the spotlight for money he gave former Tory prime minister Brian Mulroney, but when it comes to contributions to political parties, he appears to have given significantly more to the Liberal Party of Canada.

Personally, I’m Schreibered-out.

Too bad. The pundits suggest that the best gong show ever is scheduled for later this morning.

Will it be called Truth? Or Avoiding Consequences?

Or none of the above?

Globe - Mulroney was supposed to get $500 K: Schreiber.

AGWN - Mistress Karlheinz Schreiber the Dominatrix.

SDA - “feisty Robert Thibault from Yarmouth” Meets With Karlheinz Schreiber?

Dan Cook (Globe) - Stephane Dion’s ‘Invented Cover-up’. (H/T Bourque)

Stephen Taylor - Notes about the Schreiber Show.

Jack’s Newswatch has plenty of info as well.

Good episode of CTV’s the Verdict tonight. Paula Todd was remarkably non-partisan and making a lot of sense. One of her guests said that the MP’s in today’s circus should be reminded that Canada doesn’t have a ‘Fifth Amendment’. Clip should be available soon.

Friday Update - Noteworthy items:
L. Ian MacDonald - The committee mob scene on Parliament Hill.
Chantal Hebert - Schreiber lures MP’s with crumbs.
Don Martin - Politicians have reason to worry.
