...point-that such an important responsibility was a federal rather than a provincial right. (For himself, Sir John A. was no bluenose. Scathingly denounced by Liberal George Brown's Toronto Globe for his drinking, he retorted at an election rally: "I know you would rather have John A. drunk than George Brown sober...

Next day, hung over in headline. Rooney woke up and got sore, conceded that he'd been "half smashed," but "a man would have to be drunk to appear on that show. Paar is the dregs of television."
