Let's see: PM of Canada...

Hmmmmm. We have one candidate who sticks his foot in his mouth wherever he goes, and who has only been able to save face countless times because the media (up until now) was kind enough to paraphrase his speeches instead of quoting directly. The other option would have been for the media to quote him directly and thus make him look like a total ignoramous. Now, the media is tired of covering up for him, and they are letting him stumble and bumble on his own. I wonder who that might be...?

We have one candidate who has only been able to cling to a political life because even politicians have a heart, and every Prime Minister in the past 15 years has felt sorry for him. Not one PM has had the guts to put him out to pasture, so Canadians have paid for him to live abroad, wander the globe supposedly representing the interests of Canadians, and basically ignore the fact that everyone just wanted him to shut up and go away. I wonder who that might be...?

We have one candidate who is a Christian ("Oh, My God, He Is A Christian Therefore He Must Be Evil!"). This guy actually takes Sundays and spends them with his family ("Oh, My God, He Is In A Monogamous Heterosexual Relationship Therefore He Must Be A Gay Basher!") He has the ability to read ten-minute speeches just three times and rattle them off like they were casual conversation ("Oh, My God, He Memorizes His Speeches Therefore He Hasn't The Ability To Have A Thought Of His Own!") He Speaks French ("Oh, My God, He Bastardizes The French Language Therefore He Hates Quebecers!") He doesn't have a huge chin (think Mulroney). He doesn't speak out of the corner of his mouth (think Chretien). He doesn't have a double chin like a pocket gopher (think Clark). He isn't female (think Campbell). He isn't communist or socialist (think Trudeau). He has lived in the "east" and he has lived in the "west" (that might be unique in Canadian politics). There's gotta be something wrong with this guy, BUT WHAT?!!!
