In 1989, a younger Danny Williams campaigned to make Loyola Hearn premier of the province.
Almost 20 years later, the feud between the two Conservatives - one provincial and federal - is as vicious as a Hollywood divorce.
Hearn called some of Williams' rhetoric both "truth-twisting" and "underhanded."
Hearn said worse in another place as noted by CBC in its coverage of the Premier's scrum:
Williams was reacting Friday to comments Hearn made on a public call-in show after his Thursday announcement, calling the premier a dictator and accusing him of being "as gutless as a capelin."
"As well, if anyone would recognize a dictator he certainly worked for one, so he'd know a dictator I can guarantee ya," Williams said.
