Well, It Worked For Hairspray
Rumour in Washington is that the investigation into the leaking of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame will result in indictments within the next day or two. Our super-secret, back of the dark garage but eminently credible pinky finger swear anonymous source explained that: “Then CIA Director George Tenet told two friends, and they told two friends, and they told two friends, and they told two friends…” and, before you could say, “But, isn’t it treas – ” everybody in Washington knew.

Item: Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin tells American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the US must do more to stop the illegal flow of guns into Canada.
WHAT MARTIN WAS THINKING: I’m the Prime Minister. I’m being Prime Ministerial. Look at me being the Prime Minister. I hope it’s not chicken again.

Looks Like a Mild Chastisementing Offence To Me
The progression of firing thresholds in the Plame case:
“I will fire anybody who was responsible for leaking the identity of a CIA agent to the press.”
“I will fire anybody who is indicted for leaking the identity of a CIA agent to the press.”
YOU ARE HERE: “I will fire anybody who is convicted of leaking the identity of a CIA agent to the press.”
“I will fire anybody who serves time for leaking the identity of a CIA agent to the press.”
“I will fire anybody who serves time in a maximum security facility for leaking the identity of a CIA agent to the press.”
“I will fire anybody who serves a life sentence in a maximum security facility for leaking the identity of a CIA agent to the press.”
“I won’t fire anybody until Hell freezes over.”

Somebody’s Ass Should Be In A Sling Over This One
The Ontario Liberal Party is denying that it is in any way responsible for radio and television advertisements claiming that the sun shines out of Dalton McGuinty’s ass. Government House Leader Jim Bradley said the $1.5 million campaign was being paid for by something called The McGuinty’s Sunny Ass Foundation.
Bradley allowed that the Foundation shares many key staffers with the Premier’s office. And that the Foundation’s headquarters is at Queen’s Park. Oh, and a majority of the Foundation’s funding came from the Liberal Party. He insisted that the advertisements were not a case of the government spending public money to promote itself, however, because, “other than that, the Foundation is completely autonomous.”
