Bourque Crashes Out!

From the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Power Stroke Diesel 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park:

There were several minor incidents throughout the evening. Pierre Bourque [71] and Chad McCumbee were involved in the first caution of the night, which ended both of their nights.

Bourque's performance at this his first truck race can be seen as a metaphor for the financial performance of his sponsor, CanWest Global Communications, whose flag-ship publication, the National Post, appears to be doing a slow-motion endo into the snow fence of Bankruptcy as its circulation plunges like an old pick-up truck flying off a cliff.

Bourque, needless to say, came out of his accident all right. Will the Natty Post?

PS. This is not the series in which Bourque races under the Tory banner. That's the CASCAR stock car series. Just to be clear.

Is this an omen for the CPC? Bourque never does well and now this?

Hmmm.....

Much like his website of late. He should change his slogan to "YESTERDAY's NEWS TODAY"

What, no mention of this on Pierre's site! What's up with that?

Shame, shame, shame....

Heh. Well, we all saw that sort of thing coming, didn't we?

Anon, I'm sure it will go up on his site as soon as someone pays him to.

Still, you have to give him credit. Mulroney doesn't even do the things he's paid to do.
