Mulroney Fiasco -- the bluff or the royal flush?

It has been a while since Mr Mulroney has been this much in the news, the liberals have tried hard to continue to paint him as the anti-christ over the years -- cost us a bit of money. Now we have Mr Schreiber on the eve of deportation for tax evasion and a host of other things sending letters to further inflame the situation. I guess if i was scheduled for deportation to a jail term in Germany -- i too would be doing everything in my power to stay in the country.

Now Mr Mulroney did an interesting thing -- he has call for a full public inquiry, something that has shocked parliament hill. He has said and probably rightly so that he will never get out from under the cloud of suspicion without a full airing of events. I can imagine not only are the conservatives a little concerned about this given they are on the eve of an election, but so too are the Liberals, as it has never been revealed how much of the previous investigation was driven by Chretien's hatred for Mulroney and his puppets in the RCMP acting a little KGB like. Also Mulroney is taking aim at the media -- I am assuming the likes of Stevie Cameron and the Toronto Star will also be a little apprehensive as their purported journalism has been little more then rewriting washroom innuendo.

All in all Mulroney may actually get what he is asking for, the public inquiry that is, but sometimes you have to be careful of what you ask for. But then maybe he is a better poker player then we give him credit for.
