Conrad Black is suing the US government! over $9M (US)

[Lisa]

I never thought I would be rooting for the American government, but ... of course the Bush administration is something different from the government itself.

The thought of Lord Tubby going head to head with the United States of America ... Pass the popcorn!

1. Well, he has balls and so does Barbara.

2. It is positively delicious to watch Black's downfall

No one is more deserving, imo. He is as despicable as any of the bush cabal. I am hoping the Hollinger case will hook Perle too, in the end. Am I being very petty to want to see Black and his nasty wife homeless or at least in a one-room apartment trying to figure out how to pay heating bills? Hmmmm, petty, yes, enjoying my pettiness in this instance!

5. Nah...

Shadenfreude (sp) is a wonderful thing.

I just wish Babs would stop polluting Macleans with her filth. Could be the only way they pay the rent nowadays.

3. Why's he whining about not having the case for legal fees?

Ontario has legal aid: http://www.legalaid.on.ca/

He can use that just like thousands of other Ontarians do.

4. He gave up his Canadian citizenship when he was in a snit

over his 'lordship' fiasco so he cannot access Canadian legal aid but England must have something comparable, if not, well, tooooo bad, lol.
