MacKay eyes Harper's job, post-election

Blonde, wealthy, well-connected.

Peter MacKay's latest love interest, according to well-known gossip sheet the National Lampoon Post:

Sophie Desmarais. Of that Desmarais clan. They met courtesy of Mila Mulroney. Sophie's clan is tight with Liberals like Jean Chretien.

Way to go, Peter.

Now, just a few weeks to go before you can start the campaign to boot Harper and take his job.

As reminiscent of medieval Italian politics as this all seems, Peter might have learned to be a little less obvious. Nicolo would not be pleased.
