Mr. Finley, the party's campaign director, says he was shocked by allegations that a CBC reporter helped produce questions for a Liberal MP to ask Brian Mulroney at a recent parliamentary hearing.
Now he's using the incident as a fundraising message to the party faithful: Tories face a chronic disadvantage because of their powerful enemies, and need your cash to overcome it.
Oh yes, woe is the poor embattled Con$ervative. Isn't the CBC so evil.
Of course, then there's reality:
CBC brass have said they are investigating and considering possible disciplinary action against a reporter who allegedly supplied questions for Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez to ask Mulroney.
But the broadcaster's reaction has left some puzzled on Parliament Hill.
Other reporters say they've suggested questions for politicians in the past — for instance, when Conservatives were in opposition and grilling the Liberals during the sponsorship scandal.
Ah ... so now that the shoe is on the other foot, this is a problem? What a bunch of dishonest liars.

Are there honest liars? :)
I'm sure the Liberals have exhibited hypocrisy during their long years in government. Somehow, however, it seems to me that liberals (small "L") don't usually go that way. They screw up, but they aren't usually hypocrites.
Not so conservatives, and certainly these Conservatives. I don't know what it is about right wingers that makes them such hypocrites, but it happens so often, both here and south of the border, that it's certainly seems like a pattern.
