Bombastic Mulroney bares fangs at Harper

He was at intervals indignant, occasionally bombastic and randomly funny during testimony at the Oliphant inquiry.

But the script was familiar to anyone who has watched the Mulroney mini-series that's been on TV since 1995, when he first battled to clear his name of allegations of impropriety involving government lobbyists.

Tuesday's performance had all the Mulroney trademarks.

There were the tales of life in public office, starring Brian Mulroney. Loyal friends came in for effusive praise. And acid-dipped barbs were aimed at those who have crossed him — look out Stephen Harper! “You can't form a government without seats in Quebec and if you do, you can't govern in this country. And you shouldn't govern,” he said.
