Let me be clear from the beginning: There is no evidence that the prime minister knew about those free lunches in his office that cost the taxpayers $67,000.
One person and one person alone bears responsibility: Nigel Wright, a good man gone horribly wrong. Apparently, the PM’s former chief of staff (or should that be chef-of-staff?) did not merely keep his backroom deals with Senator Mike Duffy from Steve. Nigel also deceived him about the chicken and mushroom fettucine, the pizza and — I might as well say it — the garlic bread and Caesar salad too.
Now, I know you’ve heard rumours that Steve himself participated in this breach of Treasury Board rules, but the PM is different. During those weekly, free chow-downs in the PMO, it was the others who gorged on butter chicken, chicken biryani, pakoras and naan bread. For Steve, it was a working lunch. He worked on the excellent brochette platter from the House of Greek. So what if some people have karma and Steve has veggie korma?
