The Tory campaign arrived in Waterloo, Ont., yesterday afternoon for a "mini-rally." All went smoothly until Stephen Harper was ushered out by his RCMP bodyguards. In the confusion of excited supporters, reporters rushing off to file their stories and Conservative staffers scurrying to lend a hand, Kitchener-Waterloo Record reporter Philip Jalsevac, reliably described as a middle-aged and unassuming man, "lunged" -- as one Tory described it -- at Mr. Harper with his tape recorder. Like Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard, a burly officer manhandled Mr. Jalsevac into submission. It took just a few moments for Mr. Harper's communications team to recognize the error, and Mr. Jalsevac was ushered into a private room for his scheduled interview with the campaigning Conservative chief.

"Accidental?".... "Accidental?"... I bet a more than a couple people in that room wanted to do a lot more than manhandle that Record reporter - knowing the KW Record's reputation for it's - ahum! - Liberal reporting.
