Stronach's power play electrifies CNN pundits

She stunned a nation, broke her boyfriend's heart, infuriated the federal Conservatives and almost single-handedly saved Canada's Liberal government — which made Belinda Stronach CNN's Political Play of the Week.

Describing her as a wealthy femme fatale and Bill Clinton's "good friend," the cable news network lauded her yesterday for her astonishing switch from the Tory front bench to the Liberal cabinet two days before a vote that saved the minority government.

"Talk about going over the line," Schneider added. He compared the Stronach affair to "a film noir — betrayal, dangerous liaisons, in an exotic and alluring locale" — before adding incredulously: "Canada?"


I have no idea why I find this incredibly funny. But I really really do.

2. LOL, I saw part of an interview with Schneider on CTV
and to Schneider, the REAL reason she was play of the week was because she, gasp, knew..........Clinton otherwise Schneider, who is the one who picks those plays, wouldn't have given it the time of day. He is still the POS he was when I used to watch CNN way back when.

Schneider is as obsessive about Clinton as the rabid right-wingers on their websites.
