Jim quoted this of Ted: RE:"Did anyone ask Bush if he knew the name of the PM of Canada? We could have seen if he's learned anything during the campaign." And Jim responded: "Did I miss something or are Canadians allowed to vote in the US Elections?" Not as of yet. ;) It was referring to a discusison I started a while ago about how a Canadian comedian on a widely watched syndicated show of political satire and such up here went down, posed as a reporter and asked Bush what he thought of Prime Minster "Jean Poutine" endorsing him as President (the real name of the Cdn PM is Jean Chretien) Bush of course didnt know the real name of the PM, nor that poutine is a french word for a snack made up of fries, cheese and gravy... so of course he said he was "grateful for Mr. Poutine's support" It was quite hilarious actually. Jim then asked: Here's one for you Ted, answer quick. Who's the PM of Australia?" I may be wrong, but I believe that would be John Howard.. and I believe he is the leader of the Conservative Party down there... I also believe they're slightly more pro-monarchy then the Labour Party, and has thus decided to hold off on any future referendum on whether the monarchy in England should remain the symbolic head of state or not. Yo of course can correct me if I am wrong.
