In the US:
- Republican presidential candidate John McSenile showed this week that he is the best person to deal with the Wall Street meltdown --- by having a worse meltdown than the one on Wall Street
- Republican vice presidential candidate Caribou Barbie was interviewed Wednesday on ABC. She spoke coherently and, at one point, was actually caught telling the truth. The show's producer was taken to hospital apparently suffering from a heart attack.
- The Palin campaign said yesterday that Sarah Palin often refers to John McCain as "Gramps". The McCain campaign said that, using a term of endearment normally reserved for his wife, McCain often refers to Palin as "that c**t those religious idiots stuck me with who is costing me the election".
- the MSM criticized Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama for wearing sunglasses saying it made him look "arrogant".
(And all this time I thought wearing shades made me look like a sexy senior. Damn.)
Switching to the Canadian election:
- Liberal leader Stephane Dion campaigned this week in Quebec. No one noticed.
- In an interview on Thursday, Liberal leadership hopeful Bob Rae said "Steven Harper looks like Rick Mercer's ass". Contacted later for his comment, Rick Mercer said "I resent that comparison. My ass doesn't wear more makeup than Tammy Fay Bakker." Mercer added, "If Bob Rae is going to insult my ass, I'm not going skinny dipping with him again."
- Green Party leader Elizabeth May campaigned across Canada by train this week. No one noticed.
- Conservative leader Steven Harper unveiled his party's environmental platform in Calgary on Tuesday. The nicely bound one page document is entitled "Screw the Environment".
- The NDP rose to unfamiliar territory this week rising to 22% nationally in the polls. Jack Layton's wife, Olivia Chow, is complaining that Jack is keeping her awake half the night asking "Do they love me? Do they really love me?"
(No, Jack, we all still think you're a dufus - its just that you're not Stephane Dion or Steven Harper.)
And that's the election news summary.
Och, nothing like the gospel truth on a Sunday morning, mahigan.
I think it was TBogg who came up with Bible Spice for Palin. That works too.
My favorite of the nicknames I've seen for Palin is Snowjob Squareglasses.
"Conservative leader Steven Harper unveiled his party's environmental platform in Calgary on Tuesday. The nicely bound one page document is entitled "Screw the Environment"."
Written in crayon, I'd imagine.
Oh Wolfy, you sad sorry cynic!
Here's how I spent my Sunday:
12:30 - 1:30pm: Get down (town) to a celebration of literacy @ Vancouver Public Library:
where I found a doubleheader delight: Mel Hurtig speaks to 'The Truth About Canada' with follow up from my main man:
Michael Byers talks about 'Intent For A Nation' (if you haven't read it do so, soon, and especially before you vote!)
Then its on to my local pub: for our regular Sunday beer bust:
And darned if they didn't have a poster up that read: 'Guess Who's Coming To - COCKtails: Michael Byers, New Democratic candidate in Vancouver Centre will be here';
and so he was! Best I spare you the details of course; but believe me, my man got balls (and I'm glad I was there to protect his back(side) ;-)) and BTW - la Hedy is Fry-ed!
