I mean, even the "boring" US governors get embroiled in juicy scandals : South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, just back from a secret trip to Argentina unknown to his staff or his wife, admitted Wednesday...

Premier Rodney MacDonald discusses attack ads and explains why the Tories lost in Nova Scotia . Conservative attack ads backfiring? Hmm! Where have I heard that before ?) (PS. That remark isn't in the ctv link above; I just heard McDonald say it on CBC. Also, waving his man-boobs on a trampoline didn't help ) (PPS. Libs as opposition? That's an advance! Drinks all around)
