Insanity from CON senator.

The CPC propaganda machine, Stevie's Politburo aka the PMO and its hundreds of minions cranking it out for ministers, is showing signs of stress fatigue.

From here:
"Let me ask you this, honourable senators: If environmentalists are willing to accept money from Martians, where would they draw the line on where they receive money from? Would they take money from Al Qaeda, the Hamas or the Taliban?," Senator Don Plett, the party's former president, asked in the Senate.

"It's jaw-droopingly bizarre," Devon Page, executive director of EcoJustice told The Huffington Post Canada late Tuesday.

"I have no idea where this comes from. To me this defies reason, logic and all of this is so bizarre I have a hard time responding to it. To me, it's a good example of why we need an elected Senate," he said. "They are being irresponsible, I think they are not representing the Canadian public, I think the Senate is disassociating itself from reasoned debate."

Plett, who was appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2009, made the comments during an inquiry into the foreign funding of Canadian charities.
Thanks to the Harper CONtempt Party, our Parliament now features scenes of unbridled fuckwittery, almost as riveting as the gonzo journalism writing of JJ's beloved Hunter Thompson.

Good riddance.

Vern White is leaving the Ottawa Police force in February.

It's one of those good news, bad news situation.

Many are glad to see him go; he's been named by Stevie Spiteful to the Senate to ensure the Hard-On Crime Bill C-10 makes it through.

It appears that some of some of PMSHithead's patronage Con appointees may not support C-10.

Chief White will do Harper's bidding; under his watch he allowed bully rogue cops to do pretty much as they wanted.

Tripoli Senate

Sorry. In light of current events, someone had to make the pun.

BUT! BUT! Jack Layton has no route to become PM in this Parliament. That makes it worth it, amirite? AMIRITE?

Truer Words Were Never Spoken . . .

by Margaret Wente in a (presumably) ha-ha letter to the Prime Minister:

So can't you find a Senate seat for me, too? If Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin can be senators, then surely there is room for me. Like them, I am a lifelong hack. . . Seriously, you can't deny that I have what it takes to be a first-class senator. I am accustomed to being underworked and overpaid, and I am able to emit hot air on any subject on demand. Ask Duff. I've been on his show lots of times. He'll tell you I have glib and superficial opinions about everything, especially things I know nothing about.


Finally, MW on a subject she does know something about -- herself.

(Go read the comments at the Glob. Readers are having some fun.)

It looks like there's no "fun" in fundamentalists.

It’s a rare moment when a RepubliCon wannabe pundit hits the right funny note. As observed at Canadian Cynic, this is not one of those moments. Why are Con sycophants tone-deaf, when it comes to playing in the scale of wit and humour? They persist in banging out flat, discordant notes in the misguided belief that they are amusing. Besides the glaring spelling mistakes, errors in fact, and mis-use of the word ‘satiate’ (unless the meaning intended is "to supply with anything to excess, so as to disgust or weary"), is there anything remotely interesting in the Blogging Tories' head cheerleader
Stephen Taylor's plodding piece?

Sandra Buckler as a Senator? Wouldn’t that force her to leave her job in the lucrative lobbyist industry?

As for Québec, surely there must be one or two decrepit Union Nationale relics to be found, not yet 75, who could keep the Senate seats warm for future RepubliCon appointments.

Yup, it sure looks like there's no "fun" in fundamentalists. But then, was there ever?

After snark: Bill Shatner is one of the senatorial candidates suggested by Stephen "Stevie" Taylor. Will he share his crowning glory secrets with Mike Duffy?
