Newspaper to Stephen Harper: so sorry, sir.
The newspaper that initially reported on crackergate are dining on a fine meal of crow today, after having issued an appology for the story. Apparently, the theory that a communion wafer given to him at former governor general Romeo Leblanc’s funeral ended up maybe or maybe not pocketted was sort of casually stuck into the story by the editor pre-printing, and not written by the reporters who initially drew up the article. At least, that’s what they’re saying, anyway. But seeing as this appears to be the year for covering one’s own ass, yours truely will remain skeptical on exactly where it is that theory came from. In the meantime, mister Harper, I’d still recommend strongly you say no to crack. Or crackers. They don’t like you.
