heh I don't know why, but I really like Jean Chretien (maybe it's 'cause he used to be my co-worker). That guy makes me laugh. All of these politicians are the same - nobody wants to step up and take responsibility for the bad decisions or mistakes that happened under their watch. They're just following a long tradition, though; it's the system.

So Jean gets up there yesterday and makes a big show of the golf balls he'd received from various prominent leaders. And keeps calling them gifts from "small town" guys - just how the judge of the inquiry had referred to the money spent on golf balls as "small town cheap". He might be wrong about lots of other stuff, but Jean's got a point there.  | ¶ 7:51 a.m.
