He's the leader of the ADQ. The discussion was about whether Dumont could be appointed to a Harper cabinet. <BR/><BR/>And I think it's clear that he lied. You've set too high a standard for lying.

In the French that I have learned over the years, this is a definitive and declarative statement. To "need" (besoin) does have the same urgency. So, by his tone of voice, and his use of language, the man is a lying bastard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1139406700400749782006-02-08T08:51:00.000-05:002006-02-08T08:51:00.000-05:00Halle Berry slinks around stage, worms like Harper...Halle Berry slinks around stage, worms like Harper _slither_.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
