A brief word to cleanse the pallet
We interrupt the mourning of Maxime Bernier's life in cabinet to highlight the funniest headline ever written:
"Harper government baffles former PM"
That former PM? Joe Clark, of course! What living ex-PM could the word "baffle" be applied to so appropriately? Joe Clark is baffled by a range of things - from bar exams to how they get the fruit at the bottom of a yogurt cup.
And, as we learned when he was Prime Minister for six days or so, its not just the Harper government that baffles him.... its all government. There's all the confusing departments and you have to make decisions. Every day, there's some decision to make. Even Saturdays, cripes!
But Joe Clark's criticisms are relevant to the Bernier affair since his big complaint is foreign affairs under Harper. Its a probing, original analysis that contends Canada must be close and distant from the Americans. Allied but independent. Clark thinks Harper is just close to the Americans.
Well, I'm sure the Chinese wish we were more American in our foreign policy. I'd bet the Colombians hope we don't get all American with our foreign policy. Hamas probably bet we'd follow the American lead with our foreign policy. I'd bet the Francophonie has been confounded by our adroit performance sans Americans. Oh, and probably the Americans hope we follow lock-step with their position over the Arctic - I guess you can call that particular hope "audacious".

Joe Clark is an ass... and one of little credibility.
He lost his shine when Bad Brian fucked him and he didn't resign.
No guts, no glory.
*Sheena, the thought of you walking 5kms a day makes My ass tight:)
That would make a great Participaction Ad "Fuck the environment... do it for your ass!"

Clark has been baffled his entire political career. Nothing new here.
I'd spotted this item on CTV yesterday, and was going to post a link here...but I didn't want you to think I was being deliberately annoying regarding washed up wannabes. :-)

Joe Clark, God Bless him, had integrity. He is probably the last Conservative Canadian Prime Minister that we can say that about.
Joe was politically ruined by foreign money that Brian Mulroney brought here to help him consolodate power. Canada started down the road to ruin from that point forward.
But that is also going to change in the next federal election when Canadians return to their more traditional voting patterns, and we send Emperor George II lapdogs back to Washington where they belong.
And when that happens, Springer, and the rest of that sorry bunch of "neocons" fascists will surely follow.

Since Joe Green eats his own sneakers (NOT running shoes 'cause he only runs his cybermouth)I'm surprised he hasn't moved to Paris where the streets are ripe with dog shit.
So, Bernier resigns, eh? If I were him, I'd be more broken up over the loss of the babe than the Cabinet position. Fuck, but that's one good looking lady. She's what I'd imagine Sheena would look like. Who gives a shit if she rode with bikers or if they rode her? Hey, I ride a Harley. Now that she's rid of Bernier, I think I'll take a cross country cruise down to Quebec and say Hi!

Joke Lark is well past his best before date, and just makes a bigger ass of himself every time he opens his pie-hole.
He should stick with what he's good at, Parade Marshall for the gay pride parade.

Last sentence was gross??
If more people were like Sheena and got off their fat ass'(not suggesting for a moment that Sheena has a fat ass), maybe they wouldn't have fat ass'.
If your not going to change your lifestyle for the environment, do it for your body.
The Feds are going to blow our money on advertising for the new and rejuvenated Participaction Campaign's anyway... so why not a little truth in advertising.
That or start promoting coffee and smoking again.
You looked outside lately Chucker? Lotta fat fucks out there Brother.

I'd bet the Colombians hope we don't get all American with our foreign policy.
Very true, Americans through Congress have rejected closer ties with the number one state for murdering labour organizers. You say you enjoy reading Upton Sinclair, are you sure your not confusing him with some rightwing anti-labour parody?
Anyways, apart from the Arctic(an obvious shell game)you make a good case, Harper's crew are not aligned with the American mainstream but with an extreme reactionary wing of the American right who are becoming more irrelevant every day.

They are, are they? And your proof of this is?
How typical it is of lefties to pull accusations as such out of their asses and toss 'em around like they're gospel.
Get a fuckin' brain.

Who supports closer ties with the world leader in murdered labour organizers? Not Congress. Nope, you'd have to move past the elected will of mainstream America towards the same rightwing "think tanks" that thought the Iraq war was a brilliant move.

As I was reading your comment, Springer, Sheryl Crow sang out:

Describes the Left.

smearing President Uribe is your prerogative. so would cozying up to Saddam Hussein. So will be re-constituting Stalin's reputation as Putin is now working on - that should keep you busy for some time.
why not apologize for Mugabe and share with us your insights on the CIA's role in committing 9/11.

By the way, while the make-up will be done thick to appease you, even Senator Aushwitz Obama will be following W's foreign policy if elected. Irrelevant? Get ready for heartbreak.
Joe me fucker:)
Ok Chucker... that's sort of Freudian weird. Quite thinking about my ass man.

Welcome to the nightshift
We've got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey , we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money , Honey
We got your disease
Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl
That's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my , my , my serpentine
Ooh , I , I wanna hear you scream
(very slightly paraphrased)
'Welcome to the Jungle'
--- Guns N' Roses

'Appetite for Destruction'

Its well documented fact that Colombia is the worlds leader in murdering labour organizers.
The US Congress knows it.
I suspect you know it too or you wouldn´t bring out all the big guns: Saddam, Mugabe, and even Stalin! Very eloquent.
Anyways, I know Harpercrites tend to get testy when their "principles" get exposed..

Nice to see your warming to an Obama presidency though!
I thought your talking points were Obama=Carter, now its Obama=Bush! A shift in your perspective or just more inconsistancy?

no, just inconsistency.
Democrats in congress use that smear on Colombia as a pretext for the trade rhetoric.
Chavez loves to play that card too.
Its a pretty serious allegation that hasn't been well made against - as you call it - "Colombia".
We'd be happy to get more from you than your assurances - please share.
In the meantime, it sounds to me like a bunch of apologizing.
