Please tell me this is part spoof and part "truthiness" but the context sure fits our man Steve’s sense of his friend Dubya to a “T” (not Mr. T).
When the third largest US federal department is Homeland Security and that was accomplished in a mere 6 years you have to laugh and cry at this item. What can you say if and when the leader of the free world would see a return to better romantic comdies as a solution to American angst.
Gotta love The Onion!
While it is in jest, I think commentators (including a certain premier out east) lose a lot of credibility and respect for calling our Prime Minister "Steve". While you may disagree with the CPC's policies and principles, there is no need for such petty insults.
ReplyDeleteI never meant "Steve" as a petty insult - I meant it as a profound insult.
ReplyDeleteBased on how the CPC has been shilling for the Bush White House -especially on climate change...and the fact the Dubya put that moniker on our PM - I think the symbolism is profound...and perceiving it as an insult is a subjective, and dare I say, a defensive assessment.
A petty insult is saying Dion is not a leader doing so in cheap-shot campaign style attack ads outside the writ period so the money spent does not have to be accounted for to Elections Canada. That is Bush-league (darn there I go again) and an abuse of the spirit of the law. It is also insulting to the intelligence of the Canadian voter.
