Comments on: “Full” VIDEO: Elizabeth May Blows Gasket on Mike Duffy – Live! http://andrewkooman.com/archives/685 Mon, 07 May 2012 23:57:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Hazen Colbert http://andrewkooman.com/archives/685/comment-page-1#comment-242 Hazen Colbert Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:33:16 +0000 http://andrewkooman.com/scribing/?p=685#comment-242 As we eventually discovered when Duffy was appointed to the Senate, the fix had been in for years. Duffy is not a journalist. He is no different from a wrestling referee who works with the combatants to fix the result. Good for May for call him on it. Its been 24 years since I lived and worked in Ottawa but I still have the vivid image of Duffy, sitting in the Parliamentary cafeteria pushing so many donuts into his mouth that the cream spurted out across his face. I still call him the Pilsbury Dough Boy and break out laughing at him. Insiders call him Duff. Its not an affectionate nickname. As a long time Navy man, we have a slang expression for after dinnner dessert when its full of sugar and flour - its called Duff! And that is where Duffy's nic comes from, and it surely ain't affectionate. As we eventually discovered when Duffy was appointed to the Senate, the fix had been in for years.

Too bad more folks can't get past the party brand stereotype. Very impressed by Ms May….obviously smart, lots of passion, has some empathy.

(when i turned on the tv and saw it live, i only saw duffy's question and her response). i'm waiting to find the 'whole' meal deal. it is interesting that that was the only clip on youtube. glad you found the video.

It may have provided some clarity, being that the corpulent mascot of CTV politics misled viewers completely on her comments. In some circles, thats called "bullsh*t" and Elizabeth May called him out on it. But nice try at "framing" what happened, but it ain't working. Thanks very much though for posting the vid though, much appreciated, us lefties are getting a really good laugh at watching Mikey squirm and blush.
