Subject: RE: BS: Great Canadian Political Quote
The burning question in my mind regards what Manly will do... or NOT do. Will he take the ambassadorship to "ya all"-land or will he take the flight ? I recall a quote from one of the greats who got ripped apart in the back rooms of Ottawa in almost the exact same way as Manly. Only the names have changed. As Turner was walking out of Chretien's office after getting the final knife in the back, Jean offered him the very same job. It is reported that he never broke stride nor posture while replying, "Fuck off." Is Manly man enough to fuck off ? Or will he choose to leave this bridge unburnt and take his seat among the common sheep ?
