The dishonourable senator Mike Duffy has been mentioned several times on WWW in the last couple of weeks, notably in "Moron* Mike Puffy". But the Puffster's questionable expense accounts have been the subject of derision and revulsion on Canada's Parliament Hill even before the ink was dry on Steve Harper's order awarding the swine a large place at the trough.
Back in 2010, Member of Parliament Peter Stoffer (NDP - Down East) made a fuss about the gynormous sums being charged to the Canadian taxpayer by Duffy and other senators. Just for fun, the CBC's Evan Solomon decided to bring the two of them together on his TV show. Ed. has located a video in which Duffy, perceptibly under the influence of a preprandial snort or two, shows his disdain for those who dare challenge his entitlement to his entitlements.
As of this evening, Senator Puffy is still sitting in his extra-wide seat in Canada's Senate. That august body is dithering about whether or not to have a public inquiry into the housing allowance which Duff claimed improperly and possibly illegally. The dishonourable senator says he would welcome a public airing of his dirty laundry, at which time he will tell "the whole story". Whether Prime Minister Harpoon will cave in to this implied threat remains to be seen.
