On a lighter ? note, PEI is mocking Senator Duffy. A local radio station has a promotion. It offers " Do ya a Duffy " awards. One listener per day receives $20.00 to pay back a personal loan.

Time to take the blinders off." (that's a direct quote - yes, I kept a copy of my post for future reference; old habit)<br /><br />I said nothing about whitewashing anything. Perhaps you've confused my comment with another.<br /><br />But for the record, this "story" is in fact public knowledge, and has been part of the ongoing dialogue since it broke. I can't believe you missed it:<br /><br />http://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2013/05/28/rob_ford_crack_scandal_other_man_pictured_with_mayor_hurt_in_fatal_shooting.html<br /><br />Neither the authenticity of the photo nor the people depicted therein have been denied by anyone involved.<br /><br />For further reference:<br /><br />http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/man-22-dies-from-injuries-after-king-street-shooting-1.1214632<br /><br />http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/04/04/man-wanted-in-shooting-death-outside-king-street-nightclub-turns-himself-in/<br /><br /><br />A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words.<br /><br />(I don't expect you'll approve this post either, but I at least wanted to set the record straight - accuracy is important in matters of public interest. Plus, I hate being misquoted.)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-31250588860728995452013-05-29T20:22:22.929-05:002013-05-29T20:22:22.929-05:00You better than anyone can talk about being drawn ...You better than anyone can talk about being drawn and quarterd both in the press and by your peers , and all you ever did was tell the truth , can't imagine what they would have done if you were caught on video smoking crack Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-26799936993193534742013-05-29T20:02:40.139-05:002013-05-29T20:02:40.139-05:00The Star has just taken another crack at Mayor For...The Star has just taken another crack at Mayor Ford.
