Joe Clark: If Anthony Lamer (forgive the stretched reference) and Bryan Mulroney come to your office to talk shop you'll feel exactly like I did at work last night. Mainly invaded, that these people who you had rejected refuse to allow you your own life back, that they've stopped by your small professor's office as a sort of means of keeping score. That they're out to check up and remind you that you aren't winning that they have accomplished much more than you and that they haven't given up their souls doing so. You'd put on a patina of civility, but inside you'd want to point out that they hadn't much in the way of integrity to begin with and that the aren't welcome here. That you're waiting for a pretext a reason to exercise your power. You're paying attention, you're studying for weakness, and when given the chance you will grip the blade tightly and thrust upwards.

You're not a true Tory until you've been stabbed in the back.

Sorry to disembowl myself there, but it's the best way to give you the measure of a man.
