Why Are Taxpayers Paying for the Senate Scandal Over-up?

Questions continue in regards to Senator Irving Gerstein and other Conservative members connected to the senate scandal investigation. The Conservatives maintain that only those who are officially under investigation are of relevance to the issue of senate corruption in the House of Commons. Statements made by Senator Mike Duffy suggested that the PMO approved of the payment of his fraud debt, which Nigel Wright, former PMO Chief of Staff, then paid for. The parties have yet to get anything but the usual scripted replies out of them, as Harper continues to downplay this scandal in hopes that it goes away.

And yes, we, the Canadian taxpayers, are footing the bill for the legal aid of corrupt politicians. If you or I get into trouble, our business or workplace doesn't fit our legal bills if we are faced with legal charges. Why should it work any differently for politicians? Of course they shouldn't be entitled to nice pensions after serving just five years in office either. No wonder they're getting the idea that they are our Lords and Masters and not our elected representatives!

I don't ever want to ever hear another Conservative use a word like "welfare" or "EI" in negative and condescending tone again, not until they change this crap.
