Does PM the PM believe in bad omens, is he superstitious, will history repeat itself. All questions we should ponder at the news that Alfonso Gagliano can't possibly appear in front of the sponsorship scandal inquiry tomorrow, as originally planned. Gagliano, the guy in the middle of the current controversy, has told organizers that he's not prepared to testify tomorrow. Having just returned to Canada from his recently terminated position as Ambassador to Denmark, Gagliano says that his lawyer is not available tomorrow and that he needs more time to be properly briefed on the situation.
He would like a bit of time to get things organized, thank you very much. Offering up March 15th as a much more workable date to appear.
An interesting choice for Gagliano and a worrisome thing for Mr. Martin. The committee chair says he is considering his request, wanting to be fair and all of that. But expect a bit of pressure to be put on them to push that date up, just a little bit, lets say five days or so. You see March 15th is also known for the Ides of March, which didn't work out too well for another famous political leader. Things are going bad enough for the government right now, why tempt the fates of the Gods! Then again all of the current Liberal machinations are worthy of ancient Roman times, perhaps it's a blue print for what's ahead for Liberals!
Et tu Alfonso, et tu?
