Pamela Wallin's attempt at contortion

She may not be the expert yet but she is trying hard.

“Although I fundamentally disagree with the methodology used in arriving at that figure, particularly since the amount was calculated using newly created rules to examine past expenses, I do not want to burden the people of Canada and, in particular the people of Saskatchewan, by engaging in a protracted legal debate about the matter”.

Mike Duffy swimming in taxpayers’ money

Conservative Senator Mike Duffy  has claimed more than $33,000 in living allowances intended to defray senators’ costs of maintaining a second home in the National Capital Region, even though he is a long-time Ottawa resident.

The quarterly expense reports that senators are legally required to file show that Duffy spent almost $159,000 on his office between June 1, 2011 and May 31, 2012, which included salaries for staff and equipment.

This is over and above the base annual salary of $132,300.

If this does not boil your blood then what will?
