Patiently waiting for a Liberal apology

CTV News reported Monday that two audio experts, hired by the Liberal Party of Canada to analyze the tape, found that "the recording cannot be shown to be complete."

You can hear Mr. Richardson discuss this report here.

Last week the Liberal party tried to make a lot of hay from the first expert's report that significant portions of the tape had not been altered. They used that first report to call Stephen Harper a liar and insinuate that Harper cannot be trusted.

Now that the Liberal's own expert has come up with an contradictory opinion, one that fully backs the Prime Minister's position will Stephane Dion stand up and show leadership for his or his minions shameful attacks on the Prime Minister?

Somehow I doubt it.

Interesting. I just finished watching PM Harper's interview with that prick Mansbridge on the CBC website. It is a really good interview from my perspective as a CPC party member and voter.
The problem with Harper is he is way out of his league. That is miles above anyone else in politics in the other parties and of course the media. Mansbridge sounds like a 14 year old trying to understand the answers that Harper is giving him. That I think is why they don't like him,he is just too smart for them all.

Short answer to your question....no. They've already been assured in the report itself that the reporter couldn't have done it (yeah, right!), they didn't do it and they don't know who did. My question is can they use ignorance (i.e. they were unaware that the tape may have been manipulated in some way when they committed the libel) as a defence? Will they claim that the Conservatives must have done it themselves? Was there more than one tape and if so, how were copies made and by whom? Now the excuses start.

This story ran everywhere.

Just for once it would be nice to see all of the media feeders like MSN, Yahoo, and other headline pages correct themselves.

Not gonna hold my breath.
