Controversial Cabinet Minister Leslie Miller has hit back at Senator Tommy Turnquest in Parliament yesterday.

Miller was respondong to Turnquest's blistering attack on him recently on a local radio show.

Miller told other MPs that he was the "potcake" and Turnquest was the "poodle". Without specifically mentioning Turnquest, he described how a "certain" banker had formerly given him a hard time on a $40,000 loan. I am not sure how that is a bad thing, as any banker with a brain would question Miller's bill paying habits and ability. He is known to be a bill-dodger and a poor businessman. He would probably have gone bankrupt if not for his Cabinet appointment.

Turnquest is a former banker with CIBC, now First Caribbean Bank.

Miller also touched on the fact that a relative of Tommy's (read: his Dad, Orville) had close relationships with financial fugitive Robert Vescoe and Columbian drug lord Carlos Lehder. Orville has a whole closet full of secrets that I understand are due to be revealed soon.
