A Tribute to Checkers.

When Richard Nixon was accused of receiving kickbacks the nation was treated to an hour long review of the Nixon family's assets. Television was in its infancy, and this charade did little to give some creditability as an entertainment medium. This all changed at the end of the program when the nation was introduced to Checkers, the only gift the Nixons accepted from political supporters.

As former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney begins to face questions about similar kickbacks, could we be introduced to a beautiful pure bred German Sheppard, compliments of Mr. Schrieber.

The current Prime Minister has a fondness for the felines species. Could our nation be treated to the new edition to the Harper family that was part of 2002 Leadership contributions that we have yet to be privileged to the sources.

Who can forget Mr. MacKay. A dog lover and Schrieber former employee. While he was playing "Boy loses Girl" we met a beautiful canine on his father's farm in Nova Scotia. Was that dog part of a package that retired his $500,000 debt, which he still refuses to name the sources.

Sadly, we have no version of Checkers in Canada. Mr. Dion has Kyoto, but that's not the same. It is well documented that Mackenzie King claimed to be able to verbally communicate with canines, so close enough.
