so far so good?

So, I don't know about you kids, but are we surprised that Harper is already being accused of something shady? ...even granting the possibility of the accusation being motivated by partisanshp and coming from a man described as 'incompetant'?

Call me jaded, but how is it that we should be surprised that a man so heavily business-philic was somehow involved in a 'breach of public trust' type of affair? I'm pretty sure the majority of conservative business elite types have reached their upper eschelons by being helped by, or helping their friends somewhere along the lines. Hell, that's more or less what I'm banking on for my future. But I'm not planning on running for public office, and I know for damn sure that if for whatever reason I grow a righteous streak and do run for public office, I'll know better than to confuse my political position with an economic advantage.

Even if Harper had nothing to do with this, it doesn't bode well that 'they' are finding dirt on him already...
