I have argued in this space before that the best way for the Liberals to defeat Mr. Harper was to cause him to go off script.
Mr. Harper does not ad lib worth a damn. He always gets himself into deeper and deeper trouble when he does. That has been proven in the past and it is being proven with Harper Senate Scandal.
Of course, since 2006 the Liberals, the Bloc and the NDP have utterly failed to make Mr. Harper ad lib. They barely ruffled his feathers.
So it is ironic that he who has caused Mr. Harper to go so far off script recently is a Conservative and one of Mr. Harper's chosen men.
