This might be a helpful or even entertaining supplement to Kady's Tale of the Tape: Unspooling the Timeline post.

The March 4, 2008 QP exchange wherein the prime minister had every opportunity to complain that the tape wasn't completely copacetic (as reported by Aaron Wherry) - but didn't - is here: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=c5TqE-2anHk

So pop up some popcorn and don't forget your blood pressure meds, antidepressants, Laphroig, whatever.

So many scandals, so little time...

There's so much choice, where to start?
