He plays the role of Ribbentrop to Harper's Hitler. He is an excellent communicator. He can put a positive spin on the most dastardly Harper plot. The media love him as one of their own and eagerly swallow every glib lie he presents. Now that he is in government Harper has muzzled him. He might become too popular. <BR/><BR/>Flaherty is never able to hide his nasty streak and his rage. It is what defines him. The tiny Irishman is consumed by his lust for power. If I could conjure just one warm feeling for Harper I would warn him to watch his back. I can't. Harper deserves the knives that Flaherty is honing to perforate his boss's back. <BR/><BR/>Given the opportunity, Flaherty would engineer a vicious coup to grab the top spot. Glib Solberg would use his talents to finesse it. Both are worlds away from Harper and ready to replace him when the nation and the party tire of his gloomy presence. <BR/><BR/>Can it happen too soon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
