Well it was a gift wasn’t it? Somebody phoned up and told us…it wasn’t as if we went looking. It’s early in the campaign…we’re more into…you know…getting the message out. So, no…I don’t think anybody looked into it too deeply, we were all too busy. It was some junior staffer is what I think…that was the way it was…some volunteer kid just put it out on the wire. We looked into it afterward and I think that’s what we found. But no…no it wasn’t an ad per se…more of a note, if I can say that. Well, yes, it ran several times…and I can see how some people might have thought it was an ad…and then the media picked it up and sort of ran with…you know …made it more than it was…some junior staffer. No it isn’t our kind of politics normally…We run on the issues …always have…but this thing…well you can’t…you can’t have people like that in office…really, can you? No…no…of course we can’t prove it…yet…but you know how these things are…it was reported to us and we just couldn’t take a chance that it wasn’t true. And that other part …no…no…that other part about, you know…well that didn’t come from us at all…not our style…come on…we don’t go around commenting on things like that…the small size of his equipment…who uses language like that? And even if it’s true…that and the incest thing…no, it has nothing to do with the issues in this race…and like I said …it didn’t come from us. I’m sure it will all come out…you can’t keep a thing like that under the table these days…you media guys are too sharp…but not from us…that stuff. All above board…that’s the way you have to run these things. Keep it clean I always say and let the voter decide…and nine times out of ten the voter is going to see that integrity. We have it…We have it…and maybe the other guy has some things…you know, let’s face it…there’s always a thing or two that you don’t know about the other guy…and when they come out…people can see what’s what. I never believed for a minute that business about the latex suit and his secretary and the great dane…Where do people get that stuff?…Just vicious…that is. Never believed it myself. No…you never know… Well I laughed , of course…it was just ridiculous…wearing black rubber and a pink skirt, was it? Absurd! Probably some party prank. Must be hard for him to keep his mind on the campaign with all this going on. I had a drink with him a couple of weeks before this all came out…he likes a drink, you know…damn nice fellow…he looked a little tired I thought. Of course he was having two to my one…I like to keep my mind clear, you know. It must have been nagging at him even then…it hadn’t come out yet…damn junior staffers…we all have to use them…so enthusiastic, and great kids…you know. Well we’ll get to the bottom of that I can tell you…but I could see that some thing was on his mind. I told him…you can’t keep things bottled up…these campaigns can be rough. Things come at you from any direction. I told him to pay it no mind…don’t give them the satisfaction…whoever they are. Well one of my campaign guys said “What if it’s true?” and I shut that down right away. Never true…these things. He was pretty upset about it I heard…as I would be…as you would be…No..no…nothing to do with us. I was telling my wife Joyce…twenty wonderful years…yes thanks…I was just telling her…it was Sunday and we were coming out of church with the kids…yes…all grown up now…yes, well they were on the bus last week…Family values…that’s the thing…Oh yes..so I was saying to Joyce that these awful rumours and things pop up in campaigns…come at you from who-knows-where. Hasn’t happened to me, thank goodness…no…no…well people know better don’t they…there’s nothing to find…let ’em look, I said, and if they say anything then it will be all lies won’t it?…nothing there…so they don’t get any traction . Him? Oh No…no..I don’t think he’d dare…stuff like that? Glass houses …you know… glass houses…I mean really! Can you see it..him and his little dick and his ridiculous rubber suit? there are probably pictures of that stupid pink skirt. Hell…No..Pardon my language but no way that sleazy little fucker would come over with stuff like that…O.K…No ..No..Time’s up I see…That’s enough now. I just wanted to set the record straight. None of this came from us…and you can quote me on that. B.C.
We have an election coming up in Canada in a few days…and like many elections in the past few years we have been besieged by vicious attack ads filled with malice and innuendo. They are designed to agitate and polarize rather than educate and inform voters. It’s time we let candidates know…enough is enough.
