Note Added In (sloppy)Proof: Down below, I start babbling about the 'G' Man over and over and over again.....Now that I've re-educated myself (ie. gone back and re-read Sean Holman's work), I realize it should have been 'J'....
_____

1:50pm....All hail, hardy and farewells so far....No sign of the actual Premier being present to close down the House....

2:00pm....Claude Richmond says good-bye...gets Standing-O's all 'round....

2:05pm....Here it comes.....C. James to Minister of Energy and Mines....Kinsella and Accenture, what influence with government to privatize Hydro?....Minister ducks....Stonewally steps in front of the left hook.....It's before the courts.....James supp: silence speaks volumes....goes to Kinsella CV....details linkage between Hydro/Accenture/Kinsella....Asks again about Kinsella's role in the 'sell-off of BC Hydro......Oppal....."I will not answer the question".....James back at him....Just not good enough....asks Minister again....'What did the government and the Premier do to grant Mr. Kinsella and his client access.....Stonewally....If anything improper was done 'info should be sent to proper authorities

(me: WoooooWeeee!!!!)

2:08pm L Krog up.....Wants all the Judge Bennett-says-they're-relevant-documents that are being squashed (under gov. privilege?) released.....Stonewally defers to 'Special Prosecutor'.....Krog supp.....This is astounding... on one hand they can't speak in House....on the other they have hired guns in court suppressing....Krog says it.... 'COVER-UP'.....Calls for disclosure again (from S-G?).....Back to General Stonewall....says statement by member 'shameful'....

(me: Man, they must really be propping up Mr. Oppal in the corner....he's like George Chevalo against Ali....)

2:10pm....Ralston....Back to Accenture.....Oppal.....conduct of Kinsella is being assessed by Supreme Court?????!!!! What the heckfire???? Does Wally know what he's saying?.....Ralston goes back on that.....Oppal....Connects Mr. Kinsella (me: now and forever?) to BC Rail....

2:12....Austin....Here comes.....Alcan!.....What role did Premier and Mr. Kinsella play in securing Alcan deal (to Minister)....Stonewally steps in front of haymaker...I will not answer.....Austin supp....a gov't that puts shareholders ahead of citizens....goes back at Minister....Stonewally takes another one....Again, if there is a suggestion that Mr. K has done anything wrong, take it to the Horsemen....

2:15....Trevana up....And it's....Plutonic Power....Stonewally's (anti-)answer 'the same'.....Treana Supp...shocked by the contempt of the Attorney.....long applause.....The people of BC want answers.....Hydro and Plutonic are not before courts....brings up contributions of companies to Liberals....Stonewally...it is the individual (Kinsella) who is before the courts, and therefore everything is possibly subject to cross-examination.

2:16....Fleming next....Pay Day Loans and Kinsella's lobbying....what was he bringing to the gov't....Is that why BC's laws against PayDay Loan (me: Shark?.....errrr....) Lending so weak?....Stonewally....Make the allegation.... outside!..... Fleming.....Didn't ask the Attorney the question (S-G?), but it's appropriate he answer a question about lobbying given that he keeps stalling on Lobby legislation.....

(me: gosh...can't wait for the Hallway Scrumxtravaganza.....)

2:20pm.....Simpson...notes that the Attorney is also a 'Muzzler'....goes back at Accenture....Stonewally responds.... member should inform himself about what is going on in court....Simpson Supp: Attorney should inform himself about his job.... because he's not doing it....calls Kinsella 'ultimate Liberal insider'.....links and links and links and links, and wants to know Kinsella relationship to this government....Stonewall - it will all (me: really????) be answered in court.

2:22pm....Kwan....lists all the linkages on Public Eye's list (me: except WaState?)....What was the role of the Premier in getting his friend's clients deals?.....Stonewally 'deference to court'.....Kwan Supp.... None of the companies asked about today are before the courts....Have all the Ministers been lobbied by Mr Kinsella?.....Stonewall responds (me: with head-fake)....Member is quite right....Accenture is not before the courts, or Hydro....loses his way....(me: stumbles to ropes for standing eight-count?)....PayDay loans not before the courts but....(me: here he goes again)....Mr. Kinsella is (me: I think I can see the headlines tomorrow).

(me: Are they throwing Mr. K. under the bus?.....Will we see them start to raise money for a Libby-like defense fund soon...Are there any 'Progressive' Aspens.....?)

2:25 Hebert.....Goes to tendering process for transportation stuff ....was process open.....Stonewall: My answer is the same....Hebert.....Nobody is buying this line anymore (me: he goes a little bombastic, I've noticed)....Goes after Stonewally on sub-judice an lecturing the Press... and then back to Minister of transportation about contracts being secured (me:.....ooooooohhhhhh, that was a good one).....Stonewall?????....pausing (me: another standing eight...or is he down this time?...gets up....legs wobbled?).........finally responds and goes ad hominem on Hebert about reading from a script and returns to the fog of Mr. K...

(me: why don't they just shift to K's Companies and/or the people who work for them....the G-Man....go to the G-Man!!!!!)

2:25pm....MacDonald - When will Premier explain Mr. K's actions....Stonewall....I will answer nothing regarding Mr. K.....

(me, again....Go to the G-Man!!!!)

2:28pm Farnworth....This is the finish?.....Goes after Stonewall re: Inside v. Outside house flip/flop-o-ramalamalama dingdong.....


Interruption.... (me: missed it....stupid work!)....

Oral Questions over.....

2:34 M. deJong goes John Belushi-like, Blotto-crazy....(me: "Did Gordon Campbell give up when the Progressives bombed Pearl Harbour?!.....Are you with me??!!....Let's get Dean Palm....errrr...Wormer!!!!!"....or some such thing....I couldn't understand actually understand very much of anything MdJ was saying).....

2:35pm.....Minister of Energy and Mines actually makes an appearance.....wooooooaaaaaa....
promptly disappears....

(me: gotta go....)
