    Saturday, January 27


    It is admittedly old news, but I was pretty shocked that Dion brought up the sponsorship scandal again, shocked enough I wanted to blog about it but didn't find the time until a Saturday morning. Marc-Yvan Côté was the guy who accepted $120,000 of my money (well, likely not - it was in 1997 and I was a first year university student, so I likely hadn't started paying much in taxes, but you get my point) and distributed it to Liberal campaign workers in Québec. The only thing I can think of asking Dion is why? And why now? Even if Côté is innocent (which he may be to a degree, all the same if I were picking up brown paper envelopes stuffed with cash in restaurants, my spidey-senses would tell me that something amiss might be going on) why muse about this now? Is Côté that great of a political workhorse that the damage caused by bringing up the scandal again is mitigated by the sheer awesomeness of his skills? The partisan in me hopes Dion keeps doing things like this, but I'm not that partisan - I hope Dion buries the sponsorship scandal and ensures the Liberals finish paying back my money.
