have you ever felt embarrassed for watching someone make a fool of themselves?
I just did!
Posted by: zilla at November 3, 2007 10:06 PMIm the one that invented the internet.
there is no I in TEAM. but there is one in idiot.
vote for Sharon Idiott.
she only needed to put a hat on her a$$ to finish it.
your reserve in this riding ok4u?
Posted by: cal2 at November 3, 2007 10:09 PMUmm, Sharon...You do realize that your running for provincial government and not grade 8 class president don't you?
Posted by: Boudicae at November 3, 2007 10:11 PMForgot her dunce cap.
Posted by: Norman at November 3, 2007 10:15 PMShe said there would be a "$15 cap on drugs" but didn't have a "cap" for it. She missed that one.
"I'm the one" who didn't make the cut.
Posted by: Neil at November 3, 2007 10:15 PMThe best part? Weyburn-Big Muddy was Tommy Douglas' old seat.
Posted by: Kate at November 3, 2007 10:16 PMWhat a dork.
Posted by: PatrickP at November 3, 2007 10:34 PMMay have been Tommy's seat, but she's noooooooo Tommy.
I'm glad I'm not in that riding anymore - I wouldn't be able to stop laughing as I voted for Duncan.
Posted by: Andrew at November 3, 2007 10:35 PMMy wife's from Shaunovan ... and after watching this video she says she's ashamed to admit it.
Is this where the term "asshat" comes from?
btw, I could only watch 1/2 of this as dinner wanted to come back up. I'm gathering that Lorne is spending most of the ad budget on keeping his RV running.

Posted by: Eugene at November 3, 2007 10:45 PMCanadians frequently ridicule American politicians.
Sadly, this is not without some justification.
However, this woman simply goes beyond anything in our experience here in the USA.
Posted by: Greg in Dallas at November 3, 2007 10:52 PMLOL
She spoke about being the greenest candidate as she put on the bike helmet. I think her claim to green is only because 'the smoke ain't goin' all the way up her chimney'.
Posted by: Joe at November 3, 2007 10:57 PMShe's not serious is she? "I'm the one"? She says she is university educated? Where? The U of "I", the U of Disaster, or the U of Really Stupid?
Posted by: Hunter at November 3, 2007 11:09 PMThat is hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh.
Posted by: Woodporter at November 3, 2007 11:17 PMShe's too quiet and polite; politics is all about putting on a show and getting noticed: like this guy. And that was for a third place finish.
Posted by: GDW at November 3, 2007 11:20 PMUmmm ... does anyone know whether she has a chance to win? She might make a great opposition MLA! But, she might need even more hats ... or more heads.
Posted by: Andy at November 3, 2007 11:23 PMFirst thought: Ruth Buzzi from Laugh In
Second thought: Isn't anyone in control of their PR machine?
Now she's a ditz.
Posted by: Louise at November 3, 2007 11:37 PMhoooooooo doggies, if that don't take the rag off the bush , granny.
Posted by: John Demerais at November 3, 2007 11:37 PMI hope she remembers to use birth control, always.
Posted by: Mystery Meat at November 3, 2007 11:42 PMHer husband really hates the last hat she put on. BUT I bet he is proud of her.
Posted by: Rob C at November 3, 2007 11:47 PMYou look like a fool there Sharon. whats with the hats?
Posted by: huffb1 at November 3, 2007 11:48 PMYou're kidding...right?
Just where was she educated and where did she work overseas...I want to avoid that place.
Kate, I'm sorry. For once I truly have nothing else to say.
Bon Soir, mes amis!

That was truly astounding and embarrassing. Apparently the Sask NDP have so rotted under years of socialist smugness to the point that they no longer peruse candidates media output.
My Mom was the program director for a community access channel 3 in Sask for a number of years, interviewing the likes of Mulrooney, Cretin etc and would never have thought of airing something as ill advised and shabby as this. With volunteer staff and a nominal budget they were professional about what they aired.
The NDP not so much.
Thank God the much needed change is coming in this crapulent and amateur body politic.
Times they are a changing and Sask will soon enough be the old not Alberta. Manitoba...yer up.
Syncro
Posted by: Syncrodox at November 4, 2007 12:21 AMHelp Alberta--vote for her!
Posted by: Mike Kyoto at November 4, 2007 12:26 AMI am certain that right after that video was make two nice gentlemen in white, came out and put her back in her straight jacket and propeller beany.
That women is insane.
Posted by: John West at November 4, 2007 12:27 AMThat should get the investment dollars pouring in.
Posted by: ural at November 4, 2007 1:00 AMI am the One who would never vote for your party.
Posted by: MrPaulDecker at November 4, 2007 1:01 AMAnd people say G W Bush and Harper are scary.
Posted by: Pissedoff at November 4, 2007 1:01 AMThat should get the investment dollars pouring in.
Posted by: ural at November 4, 2007 1:04 AMAnd you wonder why I left Sask..........
Horny Toad
Posted by: Horny Toad at November 4, 2007 1:10 AMThere is a scene where she looks exactly like Dion. I really thought it might be him in drag, as I could not understand the english well either.
To be Ruth Buzzi she needed an old sweater, but it is a good comparison.
Keep AB alive and prospering. Vote NDP in Sask. Maybe the ROC should give Saskatchewan to Quebec?
Posted by: Justthinkin at November 4, 2007 1:16 AMDelete this immediately or Saskatchewaners will replace all other ethnic groups as the butt of jokes!
Posted by: Cal at November 4, 2007 1:17 AMReminds me of the Monty Python skit, where Arthur Pewdy, an accountant wants to be a lion tamer.
A total ditz, he thinks a kitten is a lion. At the end, the voice over says "this what accounting does to people".
Is Sharon an example of what university does to people?
I'm concerned that she or someone equally stupid, may actually control anyhing more significant than a psychedelicy painted volkswagon! Nevermind the direction of a municipality or a province/state/country. Creepy.... ick!
Posted by: eastern paul at November 4, 2007 1:18 AMDustin Duncan (SP) must be laughing all the way to the bank.
I'm embarrassed for the people that live in that riding, that those bunch of inbred socialist would actually have a candidate run for them there.
Mind you.......Tommy has long since died off there. The SP is gonna route this riding even bigger than the last byelection.
Elliott is just a sacrificial lamb.
Posted by: notasocialist at November 4, 2007 1:20 AMAll the artsy fartsy's will be absolutly fawning over her Creativity. Can't you just hear them...
Posted by: Boots at November 4, 2007 1:27 AMI agree with you, Boots. Lefties make a point of praising mediocrity. They can be counted on to call this kind of thing "bold" and "creative".
At least swing voters won't be impressed.
Posted by: bryceman at November 4, 2007 7:26 AMWhy did I feel like I was watching an episode of Mr. Roger's neighbourhood? She is so lizzie-may, with all that baking bread and using rose petals under her armpits for deodorant. These women make females look like fools.
Posted by: Honey Pot at November 4, 2007 7:31 AMthat was very funny.
Posted by: old white guy at November 4, 2007 8:12 AMFar be it for me to come to the defence of a socialist, but this has nothing to do with this particular candidate. This is indicative of the provincial campaign in it's entirety.
And, yes it is the most horrific thing I have ever seen in campaign EVER... But give this person am "E" for effort for trying something, since her entire party seems to have COMPLETELY ABANDONED HER...
"E" for effort? more like "I" for idiot.
No grown woman, with a full brain stem would humilate themselves in that way.
Posted by: Honey Pot at November 4, 2007 8:52 AMKate is this real or just a spoof. It cant be real.
Posted by: TJ at November 4, 2007 8:57 AMOMG..........what the hell was that? I feel like I have been hit by a stupid stick......my IQ has dropped 20 points after watching that........I guess she will get the sympathy vote from family....lol
Posted by: Odie441 at November 4, 2007 9:03 AMHey Saskatchewan. Newfoundland called. They want their jokes back.
Posted by: Chris in Ontario at November 4, 2007 9:11 AMStrange silence from ok4ua and leftdog.
It's deafening.
Posted by: NewDad at November 4, 2007 9:13 AM"Why vote for me? Cause I'm the one."
Yikes. A healthy sense of ego, for the proleteriati.
As well, she seems to be channeling Mr. Dressup.
I think this was a cry for help. Not a call for votes.
And they wonder why they're called moonbats and asshats.
Posted by: irwin daisy at November 4, 2007 9:34 AMThe One ring will rule them all.
Posted by: Aaron at November 4, 2007 9:59 AMWhat I don't get is why couldn't she have at least memorized the speech before she was taped? The constant looking down makes it 5 times worse.
Posted by: Hugh at November 4, 2007 10:30 AMShe's obviously parodying the majority of politicians who try to be all things to all people. It makes me so nostalgic for that uniquely Canadian political sophistication and style that is so often lacking south of the 49th Parallel.
Heh heh...
Posted by: Drained Brain at November 4, 2007 10:36 AMJust think,if elected,she could be the head of a new crown corp. Wonder what it would be called?
Posted by: sysk at November 4, 2007 10:58 AMWell I would like to think that this is a parody. But I suspect it's not...she's REALLY a candidate for elected office?
I'm speechless...
Posted by: Bruce at November 4, 2007 11:06 AMYou know, I've voted in suburban Chicago, in Chicago itself, in suburban Atlanta, and in Silicon Valley. I've done it since 1970. And I've never seen anything quite like that.
If I were eligible to vote in her riding, I might just vote for her for the entertainment value.
Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim at November 4, 2007 11:08 AMIs she serious or is she auditioning for Just for Laughs or The Gong Show?
Asshat comes to mind. No doubt she has a coat of many colors too.
Posted by: Liz J at November 4, 2007 11:14 AMWhere you get these theengs called ideas Qweeksdraw?

Posted by: Largs at November 4, 2007 12:10 PMOMG, I was waiting for her to put on the Mickey Mouse ears.
Posted by: Brian C. at November 4, 2007 12:23 PMWhat does she do for the chameleon keepers in her riding?
Posted by: Shaken at November 4, 2007 12:27 PMAbout 17 hats and none of them were on straight.
Posted by: EyesWideShut at November 4, 2007 12:28 PMThat should get the investment dollars pouring in.
Posted by: ural at November 4, 2007 12:33 PMWas she by any chance once a elementary school teacher? I understand that what we see and hear on this video is a real occupational hazard for elementary school teachers that they need to be actively on guard against by having frequent encounters and conversations with adults.
Posted by: Me No Dhimmi at November 4, 2007 1:20 PMWas that actually real or was it the Sask Partys idea of a great joke?
Posted by: GrantK1 at November 4, 2007 1:58 PMOMG!
Posted by: Tim at November 4, 2007 2:07 PMYou have got to be kidding me. You can't make this stuff up.
Posted by: Ridersrgr8 at November 4, 2007 2:21 PM...what's missing is:
"this is my handle and this is my spout, pour me over and watch me pout..."
Posted by: tomax7 at November 4, 2007 2:31 PMAs an elementary school teacher, Me No Dhimmi, I hear you and obey: that's why I visit SDA!
(And I've NEVER done anything so asinine, even when covering in a kindergarten class--honest!)
Posted by: lookout at November 4, 2007 2:53 PMShe also reminds me of the lady on Romper Room. The only thing missing is the magic mirror.
Posted by: Louise at November 4, 2007 3:42 PMlookout: I was momentarily concerned but then I reflected that based on your contributions here there would be no way you could ever sound like this! My sister-in-law was once one which is where I got the notion. Sadly, caregivers at old age homes often speak like this to their charges incl. WWII vets. I saw it once and winced.
Romper Room: I went to a Unitarian Church event once (my daughter was performing there) and the "minister" made it sound like romper room. My other daughter has been laughing about ever since. At one point we were all asked to hold hands; at another point a rubber ball, representing the world, was passed around for our contemplation while "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" was sung by the assembled Godless throng, whilst I stood transfixed and sotto voce. BLUSH.
Posted by: Me No Dhimmi at November 4, 2007 4:12 PMMe No Dhimmi, I'm laughing! It sounds a bit like the church servive (not at my church) I took my mom to lately: all happy-dappy and chipper-dipper! And just about everyone was over 60. Not my cup of tea at all!
(As you might imagine, I don't talk to kids like that. I BARK at the ones who need it and give them the flinty eye. Guess what? It WORKS!)
This skit would fit very well in the principal's or VP's (most are women these days) office of most public schools these days: stuck on stupid and altogether ineffective.
Posted by: lookout at November 4, 2007 4:41 PMAs if the hats were not bad enough,where the hell did she get that suit she was wearing?? Gag me with a spoon!
Posted by: eliza at November 4, 2007 4:52 PMI know that I'm being somewhat nasty, but her ad brought a certain term, explained in the following link, to mind:

Posted by: Daniel M. Ryan at November 4, 2007 5:33 PM
when the video isnt running she looks like Wallace from "Wallace and Gromit" sometimes he wears and earflap hat as well.
Posted by: cal2 at November 4, 2007 5:41 PMMy wife says that wearing a hat makes me look 10 IQ points less intelligent.
I see what she means.
And that is just one hat.
Oh the humanity!
Posted by: Paul A. at November 4, 2007 9:22 PMI Don't like her, I can't explain why!! looks like she has a hidden agenda!! good thing is that if the provincial gig doesn't work out, Taliban Jack will recruit her for the next federal election!! who make a good hat critic!!! on parliment hill!!!
Posted by: rob s. at November 4, 2007 11:05 PMShe sounds like she's talking to a kindergarten class. I guess thats how you get your message across to an NDP voter.
Posted by: 31000 at November 6, 2007 10:54 AM
Tell me she didn't just put on an Amish hat, and say I'm the one ?
