Frankie Pentangeli and Karl Schreiber

Who can forget the famous scene in Godfather II when Frankie Pentangeli retracted previous sworn testimony to the Senate Committee on Organized Crime at the mere sight of his estranged brother from the Committee gallery. He then responded with "I don't know no Godfather". The Committee than scrambled through its briefings and then adjourned abruptly. That was Hollywood, not to mention that Watergate had reached a boiling point the same year the film was released. Could such a Hollywood scene be played out in our Canadian Parliament. Could either Mulroney or the Harper Government produce a long lost relative of Schreiber's, and at the mere sight of him cause Karl to break down and state that everything his said before was lies. Of course we want to see the truth come out in this case, but I for one could spare the truth for such a dramatic scene in Canadian Government that we would all never forget.
