It’s a big event in Canadian politics when the Speaker of the House summons a prisoner to appear before a committee to talk about his dealings with a former Prime Minister. One expert predicted the event will turn into a “gong show”, which made me think of the above sketch. Then I realized I’d just be illustrating and idea already done, besides, I really didn’t feel up to drawing one of those really complex drawings that would keep me in the office well into dinnertime. So I came up with some depiction of theatre with Karlheinz Schreiber being the guy in the spotlight…

Leading up to the testimony I’m siding with some of the columnists in this morning’s papers who say the hearing will be nothing more than theatre, delaying the extradition of an accused criminal whose been granted the powers of Parliamentary immunity. He can say what he wants and will say whatever he wants in order to avoid ending up in a German prison to whatever fate he has in that country.
