  2. Since the Liberals want everyone’s vote and I’m not a paid up member of any other party I figured, what the heck, I’ll sign up and vote. Now which candidate should I vote for?
    I’m thinking Joyce Murray could be the most divisive of the bunch. She wants an alliance on the left but I believe Muclair’s dance card is full up – he thinks he can win a majority by himself!
    Suggestions?

  3. Debate is too painful for the Heir Apparent – “thinking makes me sooooo angry, I just walk off the stage”. Hair will only get you so far – no wait, I forgot twitter and facebook limit your ability the enunciate more complex concepts 😉

  4. HIS name is just-in, one has to wonder how many non-brothers he has named Missed-all-together, so which Bangee are we refering to?

  6. That could be a Coyne toss…

  8. Shallow end of the gene pool comes to mind also, but that is damn funny Kate. The ascension of the new Turdo annointed one to this great honor of “liberal” leader is more of a reflection to the uselessness of our current media than to this shallow twit, he is just like a normal mutt, moving instinctively through life, the pathetic twits in the so called media, who Craig Oliver/Robert Fife style swoon and sniff Justins every dropping are the real useful idiots. Finding anything of substance with the drama teacher must be hard work for that measly paycheck that a reporter/repeater gets.

  10. Everyone assumes that Trudeau will win so they don’t want to challenge Trudeau’s incompetence for the job. The guy is simply a moron without a plan running on the strength of being the son of the guy who almost destroyed Canada. I was almost convinced that Garneau was up for the job but the closest he has to a plan was “oo oo scary Conservatives” just like the 3 stooges that failed to beat Harper. I am not even convinced that Garneau is as bright as the witless Trudeau.

  11. “…I am not even convinced that Garneau is as bright as the witless Trudeau…”
    Indeed. I can’t believe the infantile lefty pablum that Garneau spits out.

  12. Kate that is one bad ass comment, I see it completely went over the widdle darlins heads tho. Saskabush Straight Talk is cool….

  14. Or the look on S. Gregoire’s face when we see the chick someone else was banging.

  15. First question from the mouth of our shiny pony fearless leader.
    “Is it true madam, that you could have been my mother?”
    Second question.
    “Could you tell me? What was my father really like? Was he really a Commie butthead?”

  16. First it was Trudeau – Brazeau.
    Now, the sequel, all in the family, Trudeau vs the mother of his half-sister.

  17. The sprout looks amazingly like Margaret. It would be fun to see Deborah Coyne debate Margaret. M. would probably do better than the sprout. But we will never know.

  19. Which ever one doesn’t stand to make a fortune or own shares in either a windmill or solar company.
    Oh wait… never mind, they’re all getting rich on the green scam, because they ALL own shares in green companies.!

  20. WICKEDLY FUNNY, Kate!
    FYI, Garneau was here in Barrie, ON, about a week ago, so I went just for the hell of it. WOW! Garneau has a terminal case of an incurable disease that is 100% fatal to all POLITICIANS who have it … I call this disease ‘amsirahc’, which is charisma spelled backwards.
    Garneau cannot / will not / did not make (or even fake) small talk with we unwashed masses. I reached out to shake his hand while making eye contact and he turned his head away to look down at the floor. HE DID THIS WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY ‘LOCAL’ BARRIE BUMPKIN THERE! … only made eye contact with his handlers, and made small talk with ABSOLUTELY NOBODY! No smiles, no little jokes or comments based on the visual cues that we all give off (ie – a blue & white Leaf hat should trigger a light comment of ‘They’re doing a LOT better this season, eh?!’ while pointing to the hat) … Trudeau is ONLY charisma, a totally empty suit; Garneau has a complete ZERO personality … is he married? NOBODY could live under the same roof as this zot.
    As an astronaut Garneau would also be an UBER engineer – good with THINGS but zero “people skills”, and that’s exactly how he came across in Barrie last week according to several other non-Liberals who attended, not just me.
    So … if anybody thinks Garneau would be a better choice for Liberals than Trudeau, I say GO FOR IT!!! … he makes Dion look like a Las Vegas stand up comedian by comparison!

  21. Take it easy on Craig Oliver. Endlessly repeating the Trudeau name is the only way he can still get it up.

  23. To see such a debate would probably suggest the title for this blog entry be changed to “This Is Awkward”.
    She might say “Shiney Pony, I “served” Pierre Trudeau. I um, “knew” Pierre Trudeau. Pierre Trudeau was an, um, “friend” of mine. You, Shiney Pony are no Pierre Trudeau”.
    Apologies to Lloyd Bentsen

  24. Bartinsky – You are very ungracious – I’m feeling very close to you right now!

  25. “You may have sat on your Papa’s lap my dear Shiny Pony. But I SAT on your Papa’s lap.”

  26. Be more sophisticated, guys! We want Balbooli to be impressed. Teacher is disappointed when the almost literal incestuousness of Liberal party politics is mocked.
    How about a thread about Stephen Harper being a big meanie christianist who hates women and Natives? That would be much more grown up.

  28. As time goes on the “left” is more and more difficult to satirize, but you Kate have managed to do it. Good one.

  29. bloblobican said: “Ah, the sophistication of SDA political debate…how I’ve missed it…”
    Please feel free to miss lots more of it, blobby. We haven’t missed mopping up your pink slime trail one little bit.
    But honestly now, is there anything of a positive nature that -can- be said of the Liberal party these days? I’m at a loss to think what it could be. Under Chretien they were a pack of thieves, since then they’re a pack of inept, bumbling thieves.

  30. // fun to see Deborah Coyne debate Margaret. M. would probably do better than the sprout. //
    Deborah Coyne is a constitutional lawyer & policy wonk — I have one of her books.
    This is the sort of person Pierre might have married, if he had not been such a old-fashioned patriarchal type.
    Their daughter is presently a student at the Wharton School of Business.
    Margaret is … Margaret. She believed that Pierre was going to send her a signal three days after his death. ” Margaret” and “Debate” don’t compute. Try “Margaret” and “hysterical meltdown”

  31. Justin Trudeau, a charter member of the Lucky Sperm Club. Got Mommies brains and Daddies Millions. Of course Mommy was famous too for awhile, right after she left Studio 54 in NY in the 70’s without her underwear, I suppose Keith Richards made soup out of them. Her picture was everywhere. I guess she wanted to live up to her statement. “I’m no rose in my husband’s lapel”

  32. ” … the chick his dad was banging?”
    What does Barbra Streisand have to do with this?
    Kidding. ☺

  33. Reminds me of the old riddle:
    “A man is holding a photograph of a man and says “brothers and sisters I have none but this man’s father is my father’s son”. Who is the man in the photo?”
    Or, more particularly, the Star Trek “I, Mudd” episode, where Captain Kirk and Harry Mudd (who looks a helluva lot like Tom Mulcair — doppelganger, actually) smokes the prime robot, Norman (Justin?), with the Liar’s paradox, in which Harry says, “I am lying.” To which Kirk replies, “Everything Harry Mudd says is a lie”. At the end of which, the Enterprise is saved, “Mudd is officially and indefinitely paroled to the android population, which he finds acceptable until he realizes, to Kirk and his crew’s amusement, that not only has the nagging android Stella [his wife] been reprogrammed not to respond to the command “Shut up!” but there are now at least 500 copies of her” (source: wikipedia.org), and the Federation lives another day, or week, or something. All of which, in the context of Canadian politics (Bill Shatner is Canadian, you know, as is, er, Stephen Harper) could arguably be true, subject to Supreme Court limits on its use, of course.
    And, might I add, that the Liar’s paradox is actually a derivative of the Divine Paradox, which asks, “If God is all powerful, can God limit his own power?” Which might be contemplated in light of Mr. Trudeau, Sr. and his Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which parellel could also be arguably true, also subject to Supreme Court limits on its use, of course.
    I’d offer up:
    So the daughter, who won’t win, is more qualified than the son, who will win, but the son isn’t as qualified as the daughter’s mother, who won’t win, either. None are qualified. To whom are we referring?
    But, then again, I amuse myself, as well — to the point of making myself dizzy, or not, or something…

  34. I find it really annoying when people make fun of Margaret. She really was a victim of Pierre as much as anyone. She was also a victim of being very young in an era when everyone’s scruples were being tossed aside — so references to Keith Richards, etc. are unwarranted — that was what 45 years ago? She has also since been diagnosed with bi-polar (not something to scoff at), and I am not aware that apart from her youthful transgressions she is any dumber than most people. There is plenty of room for criticizing Justin without dumping on his mother.

  35. To give you an idea of how bad things are here Down East, I’m told of the endorsement — both for the leadership and for the Prime Minister’s job — of Martha Hall Findlay by former Tory cabinet minister *and* PC Party President Gwen Haliburton.
    In Nova Scotia, the group working most assiduously to undermine Mr Harper’s government are known colloquially as “Prominent Tories”.

  36. Or, as Red Tories, as well as CINOs, and part of the Laurentian Elite we read about the other day.

  37. Victim of her own stupidity more like. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the circumstances leading to a psychotic event / schizophrenia / bi-polar disorder, especially at her age. So many young tokers and binge boozers could learn from this.

  38. Basically, what Phantom said to you.
    Not trolling BBW? Easy pickings there, right?
    Moving on…
    Aside from how awkward that would be, debating his father’s former- ahem- lady-du-jour would still prove a huge mental task for the wonder boy who just won’t debate anyone. He wouldn’t get around that if- God forbid- he ever led this country.
    What is the bigger shame- that the best the Liberals could do is a substitute drama teacher or that their supporters even entertain the idea of voting for him?

  39. The Tart, like the Get, herself only qualified for the Liberal leadership by proving she had the wisdom to born into the right family. Deborah’s uncle is another fallen Liberal martyr, James Coyne, former governor of the Bank of Canada, best known for trying to overthrow John Diefenbaker at the bidding of the Toronto bankers who bankrolled the Liberal Party and refused to be dictated to by an uppity peasant. He did so by starving Diefenbaker’s government of finance and declaiming against him at every opportunity the Toronto press gave him. Fortunately God and the Canadian people were on his side and Coyne was driven from the Bank and public life. But for that we might already be cursed with his son Andrew or his niece Deborah as prime minister.
    As it is Deborah has, aside from her name, no more qualifications for office than the girls who leave ads in the back of the Toronto Sun. May the devil take her to join her uncle and her gallant, and may Justin Trudeau soon join her.

  40. Klassy.
    So hey… any of you guys seen this?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM
    Good thing the ultra rich have suckers like you convinced that anything that could possibly upset the absolute stranglehold they have on our economy is a socialist plot, and not merely a saner version of capitalism.
    I now return you to whatever it is Kate is doing here.

  41. Linda, it is what it is. I am glad you find the fact that I would remind folks about Justin’s Mommies whoring annoying. Gives it all context. I think most likely tho that many more were annoyed that the wife of the PM lowered her self into the gutter, and disgraced the whole nation publicly. She could not restrain herself I guess after all she was entitled, like her pup out of old Pierre, Justin.

  42. Well, I dunno, Linda: did you not read the George Jonas column the other day?
    In it, he talked about questions he asks his Liberal friends in Toronto about Justin’s qualifications, which they can’t quite answer in concrete terms, except for the “ya, but” catch-all rejoinder about genes being the best determinant of future governing success. The Liberals and the media have made this about lineage (which is Justin’s only claim on this thing, by their own tacit admission) and I’m not in favour of letting them just airbrush away the inconvenient truths of the matter.
    Even if one happens to think Mr. Trudeau, Sr. was any good, which I don’t, Justin is still the product of both his parents, and his candidacy needs to be seen in that light, since he and his supporters have raised the issue. And while I’m not qualified to make any statements about the causes of the former Mrs. Trudeau’s afflictions (are you?), any more than I’m qualified to make any statements about those of, say, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, or the late Anna Nicole Smith, it’s certainly true that all of their respective relative merits are well-known to the general public, thanks at least in part to their own self-exposure, which I don’t respect and am frankly not interested in.
    Mr. Harper’s family background is not a soap-opera or an episode of Jersey Shore, which, where I come from, is much to his credit. But if the Liberals and the media want to make their leadership race and Canadian politics into one or the other, let’s have at ‘er: Margaret is definitely fair game.

  43. “Which one?”
    Well, it’s a hell of a lot shorter list than if you had to choose from a roll-call of men his other parent tangled with.

  44. Well said David.
    Has the average mindset of Liberal supporters sunk so low that they would support someone simply because he has some experience in drama and a certain father?

  45. Linda L, you may well be right. I certainly do think that Margaret Trudeau gets a raw deal, and that she had merits that are easily overlooked in the light of her manifest shortcomings. It may indeed be (as I believe Peter Brimelow once said) that she was the brains of the family. Certainly her reputation suffered from her marriage. As I once put it, “If Margaret Atwood had married Pierre Trudeau, she’d have been Margaret Trudeau”.

  46. Ah Margaret, if my memory serves she also got it on with Geraldo, and then there was that unfortunate incident when she was caught climbing the walls of Ryan O’Neil’s estate, having not quite grasped the reality of a ‘one-night stand’, some kind of celebrity fixation going on and celebrities are always fair game for gossip and mockery.

  47. LindaL “I find it really annoying when people make fun of Margaret. She really was a victim of Pierre as much as anyone.”
    No Linda, she was truly stupid. She is the only person on earth to use the term “I was a flower child” in every interview ever done. I cringed at that self description and her interviews in general. She was stupid. She was a slut. So she was crazy too. Did I miss something? Did I say she was stupid?

  48. We know for sure that Justin’s mother is Margaret. Are we sure that the song isn’t correct and ‘papa was a rolling stone’?

  49. Yes, Ken, I think it has, which is all the more ironic, as George Jonas pointed out, given the hypocrisy of the Liberals’ apparent comfort with nepotism and heredity in politics — something for which they used to castigate c/Conservatives, both in this country, the UK and, to a certain extent, the US.
    There’s a lot more in Linda’s complaint that I could have disputed, but as I normally like her perspective, I’d rather not beat her up. The bottom line, though, is that the narrative that c/Conservatives need to advance is based on this simple question, IMO: is Canada going to be a serious country with a serious contribution to make, or are we going to backslide into farce, flakiness and fecklessness?
    Which, by the way, is basically the question that Stephen Harper has been asking lo these seven to ten years, with increasing electoral success, and a growing Liberal-leader body count.

  50. “She really was a victim of Pierre as much as anyone.”
    Thanks for the reminder that Pierre violated all Canadians.
