Tom Flanagan to take the fall for Harper and try to save the CPC??? Mackay Knifing Harper?   I love it they are imploding all over!!!  Funny, if I had not witnessed it I would not have even known. Of course, that could be said about so many thing I suppose. But Bourque has ghosts in the machine or he was muscled into deleating things. There I am reading away the quoted ghost article below, and I move along to another page, in fascination, as I have never read Bourque before. I go to go back and look up a name, and who knew the article was gone. So I am reproducing the vanished act in its entirity cause it is no longer there. The only trace that it was theres is this:
Frustrated CEO: "We waste 50% of our ad/pr budget, we just don't know which 50% !"

Heard @ Hy's: Mackay's People Making Their Move ?
Les manchettes ... http://www.bourque.com/ The Wraithlike article is below: quote:
Wednesday, June 8 Mackay's People Making Their Move ?
The Nova Scotian arrives for his daily hops. "Keith's, please", he utters to the bartender, before turning to his pal the Newfoundlander, the one well-known to some, an enigma to others. "I'm buying", he offers, "a shot of Screech, big fella ?" "I bumped into Norquay", says the Newfoundlander, batting aside the hard stuff offer, nodding for a second glass of Keith's. "The mood in the bunker is abysmal, the fingers are beginning to point." "To whom ?" "Well, Norquay's playing dumb, and you know Jim Armour's going to the Canadian Medical Association and Mike Storeshaw is going to try his luck with Bluesky Strategy, but everyone I've spoken to is wondering who'll be the fall guy, it may be Tom Flanagan." "Tom ? I thought he was untouchable, Harper's hard drive !" "Well, Harper's not going to take the blame, is he ..." "The beers arrive, the Newfoundlander sips his sparingly, the Nova Scotian sucks his back like he's breathing oxygen." "Have you heard that a Harper Goon Squad is calling a "Belinda organizer list" from 2004 and asking the question, "do you plan to continue your involvement in the Conservative Party?" "I don't blame them, hey, if Entwistle is willing to drink the Liberal Kool Aid, who knows how pliable the rest of her team is." "More and more people are wondering how we can win an election with Harper at the helm. Many inside the party, including a number of E.D.A. presidents, are talking about pushing him out before the end of the summer in the hopes that Peter MacKay would be acclaimed as the new leader without having to go through a divisive leadership race. Given that there are no obvious alternatives in the wings, this solution is seen as being not too far fetched. The hesitation at this point is to make sure that nobody else will step in. That is what they are checking. Nobody believes that Bernard Lord can get out of New Brunswick at this time so the MacKay fans in the party believe it is now or never." "Lord has a history of dithering when it comes to the BIG decision." "Also, as in the "dump Joe" caper, there is group trying to gather riding President's signatures on a letter inviting Harper to leave without bloodshed. I feel this approach won't work with him, however, and that he will just dig his heels in further. " "I tend to agree, Harper's in come hell or high water ... until he is deposed."
Edited to add: Bourque now has new first page with lead in comments pulled. It now says Frustrated CEO: "We waste 50% of our ad/pr budget, we just don't know which 50% !"

PB, let's discuss the disintegrating CPC party, and why the missing Bourque report. What would this mean and what would happen if Harper is gone? Harper was not in the HoC for QP today something that is telling, and if Peter is trying, right now as we speak, to oust Harper, it could get real nasty over tomorrow and the week end. Harper's communications people are running away too. Strange time in history I say.But note, I dislike Tom Flanagan too, he is connected to Cheny, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearle, Rove et al, and his re-writing of Canadians history is nasty. But not as nasty as the attempt to take over Canada. However, I am under no illusions that if he tried to take the fall for Harper, to save him from Peter, he would still be completely in charge of him. It would be manufactured falling. Goddess I love the internet!! [ 09 June 2005: Message edited by: remind ]

Yes, AE, a Canadian Drudge, Bourque does this; "heard at hys" section, where if you hear MP, or staffer, out and about talking, you can e-mail him and he will repeat it in the form of a scenario. The staffers leak to him too. I have read excerpts of his on other blogs etc, but had never been there directly, until tonight. Cleaning up my favorites into files folders, I happened to check in at a link, saw a Bourque excerpt went there and started reading around. Boof, I saw all of this. Went running to the dark corner to see what they were saying. Not much. Went back to Bourque, "the heard at Hys", post was gone. The link to showed on the front page, though and then I came here posted, in a ah ha moment. Went back, the note on the front was gone too. My mind went; "ohhh, andy..." in my best Barney Fife voice. From all of this stealth at Bourque, it is my perception, that there is some serious goods going on. As I said; Harper was not in QP and Peter was acting measured *shock* as were all the CPC MPs, it was strange actually. Now, in hindsight, the calm seemed more like the surface of a swift river, smooth but the under tow will get you, sorta thing. Oh what exciting times we live in. A great ravelling in the tapestry of life.  [ 09 June 2005: Message edited by: remind ]

Read his prize-winning book First Nations, Second Thoughts and you'll come to hate him. remind the link above and on the other thread is working for me alright; I don't see why it wouldn't for you or AE. Click on your bourque.com link, scroll down a few lines and click on "Heard @ Hy's: Mackay's People Making Their Move ?" Anchoress, his "Heard @ Hy's" has gossip posted every so often; apparently people send him snippets of information they have overheard or something; so it's rumours.

The pressure is sure building on Harper. He seems to be willing to sacrifice everyone on the ship except for HIMSELF. Drip, drip, drip, oh there goes another loyal Conservative...If Harper thinks this strategy will save him he is sadly mistaken. Time is not on his side. Nor are, or will be, the future opinion polls. It is quite literally, a political death from a thousand cuts. I would give anything to be a fly on the wall in MacKay's or Lord's offices.

And here Mark Leiren-Young at the Tyee demolishes the Conservatives with verve and gusto. quote:
...Albert Nerenberg, the filmmaker who created the popular documentary, Stupidity, says that one of the key components of stupidity is an adherence to a strict belief system that leads to an inability to cope with new information or systems.“They (stupid people) act like self destructing robots when faced with a situation they can’t understand and they actually spew smoke and rattle and jump up and down,” says Nerenberg. I thought this was a fairly accurate description of how the Tories have looked in recent weeks... ...Apparently, the Tory reaction to Belinda’s defection was typical of stupid people. “They can not cope with new information or new situations,” says Nerenberg. “With Belinda the Tories revealed themselves and it was a disaster. If I was their opponent, I’d just keep creating situations that they can’t comprehend and watch them explode.”... ...Back when Preston ran Reform – and whoever imagined how lovable he’d look in the rearview mirror – his caucus members were infamous for saying stupid things. But Preston was normally quick to disavow them – even if he was only putting on a show for the eastern media...
