Way to TRY and downplay the issue at hand and attempt more deflection.
I will let you in on a secret Rouge... many folks are more than aware of the Adscam scandal. Many Americans are more than a little ticked at Canada, not so much for the non-support in Iraq, but for commenst that were plastered all over the airwaves down here by LIBERAL MP's.
Now you think the right leaners in the media down here are letting this scandal go by without mention? Give your head a shake man.
Does it mean much to the average person in the US....nope. Doesnt mean its not being covered.
And as far as this assinine comment...

Oh my god! It's the FIRST time? Outrageous! Inconceivable!
What exactly is it you are trying to prove by hammering on that point transplant? You win. It's the first time. What's the difference? There was also a "first time" someone went on the radio.

Give me a fataing break. This not about someone going on TV "for the first time" as PM....its about how self-serving it is to the crook and his friends.
I cant believe you arent absolutely outraged at this....I guess anything the left does is OK in your world though.
I wonder if you would be feeling different if it was a "christian" rightie who was taing up time to save his ass instead?

Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean it's deflection.
What do you think Bush would do if his ass was on the line? Let it play out and keep his mouth shut? Do you really think he wouldn't go on television and try to get out of it? He'd let the chips fall where they may?
No he wouldn't. He'd go on tv and do whatever it takes to get out of it

Well don't leaving me hanging. Tell me the rest of the secret. Who?
I checked the BBC, CNN, WashingtonPost and New York Times, Drudge and the New York Post websites. It didn't make the front page anywhere in there. Berlusconi did though, as well as the mayor of Mexico City, the asylum seeking Ecuadoran president, Putin, Belarus... but the way you have it, Canada is the most corrupt nation in the world and everyone is pointing and laughing. That isn't the case.
So it's not being covered by the big media and by your admission doesn't mean much to regular people (I'd guess it means "nothing" to regular people)? So who is paying attention to our corruption scandal? Right wing bloggers? They don't count.

There you go again with your outrage over a politician being self-serving. Do you also shake your fist at the sky for being blue?
Just because I'm not hysterical doesn't mean it doesn't bother me. I didn't vote for the Liberals and I'm not going to do it next time.

No, I wouldn't feel any different. Just the mere scheduling of a 20 minutes speech by any politician isn't quite enough to get my blood boiling.
