The only person who could give him permission was SH.... and SH states he knew nothing of the plan for Wright to give Duffy the money.

You're twisting the facts.

Harper has not changed his story. All he's done is clarify the details....

and of course it was Wright's sole responsibility to write the cheque. He wrote the cheque. He may have asked the advice of others (not SH however) but it was his decision to write the cheque.

Red herring. No where has it ever been stated by anyone that Wright received compensation

Another red herring. See above for your answer.

No they don't. They're stupid questions. Its like asking an innocent person... "When did you start beating your wife?"

Now you're complaining that Harper doesn't have enough control over everyone in the Conservative Party? That's a laugh and a half. Most people complain that he exerts TOO MUCH control. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

You're the liar, not Harper. You don't have a shred of proof to back up those libelous statements.

I guess in order to make you happy he should insist that all Conservative Senators submit their expense reports to him for approval? ... like he doesn't have enough to do as Prime Minister. What a joke.
