Mike Duffy Wont Like Prison Food

I have written many times in this Blog that Mike Duffy is unworthy of any governmental appointment. He was a hyper partisan "journalist" in a job that required neutrality by its very definition. His slavish devotion to Harper's Conservatives won him his senate seat. He was a man with a fundamental lack of decency and integrity. Perfect traits for a Harper appointee.

Duffy has been exposed as man that has made numerous expense claims for which he is not entitled reimbursement. His defence was ignorance and confusion. He has lived in Ottawa for decades and yet claimed housing expenses because his principal residence was a shack in PEI. He claimed expenses for working in Ottawa while on vacation in Florida. He threw his assistant under the bus over that lie. Duffy billed the taxpayer for senatorial work while campaigning for his benefactor Harper.

Duffy was held out as a model senator because he promptly paid back his expenses after he was caught making inappropriate expense claims. A firing offence in the private sector. He lied again about the source of the funds. It turns out that Harper's loyal bag carrier Nigel Wright cut Duffy a personal cheque for $90,000.

If you only read the Toronto Sun you will scarcely know about the scandal surrounding Duffy. The newspaper that gleefully attacks Liberals from all angles is silent on Ottawa's current scandal du jour. It turns out that Duffy has been inappropriately lobbying those close to the independent body, CRTC to have Sun TV forced onto Canadians basic cable package. An amateurish TV station that averages fewer than 8,000 viewers at anytime would be force fed to a reluctant nation. TV welfare payments to the defender of free enterprise. Duffy has bought silence from Sun Media.

If all the false expense claims to date were not enough it has been alleged that Duffy expensed Conservative riding associations and the party for campaigning during the last election at the same time claiming expenses from the taxpayer as a senator for the same trip. In the private sector that is called fraud and leads to jail time. I get a sense that Duffy will not like prison food.

Only in Canada would a person of Duffy's lack of character be given a government job with a  generous salary and pension for loyal ass kissing, while pretending to be an independent journalist. That Duffy's obvious lack of integrity and sense of personal entitlement will likely help bring this government down is sweet justice.
