Where YOU Get to be the Judge of the Con Clown Awards

As you know I've been having a bit of trouble lately trying to decide who should be awarded my monthly weekly daily Con Clown Award.

There are just so many candidates, starting with Great Leader, who deserve it so much.

And today it was just too hard, and too dark in Harperland, for me to make up my mind. 

So I'm going to have to ask you my beloved readers, to decide who should receive that award.

(1) JASON KENNEY



For looking in the Commons yesterday like he'd like to strangle the person who had just asked him when he planned to apologize to the Liberal candidate he mugged. 

After receiving a secretly recorded tape from the sinister Con operative Alexandra Constantinidis...



For continuing to deny he assaulted the wrong person.

A Conservative cloak-and-dagger caper aimed at capturing a Liberal candidate in a verbal gaffe has taken another twist, with the governing party producing expert audio analysis to back up its version of who said what.

And for blasting this foul gaseous mixture out of every orifice.

"That Liberal candidate (Raynolds), that Liberal member (Lamoureux) and every Liberal member opposes tax fairness for families," Kenney retorted, asserting that the Liberals are opposed to all the family-focused tax cuts the Conservative government has implemented. 

 "They want to take these benefits away from families, and they do so because they believe that Liberal politicians known better how to spend money than do moms and dads. We profoundly disagree on this side."

Even though Chastity knows NOTHING about families. For obvious reasons eh? 

And everybody knows the porky Con tax plan is just an outrageous scam to bribe the rich and screw the poor. 

(2) JULIAN FANTINO



For somehow managing, just one day after the Auditor General blasted his department for the shabby way it treats our veterans and wounded soldiers, to go missing in action.

Or missing in Italy.



The day before auditor general Michael Ferguson exposed for Canadians the government’s slow and shoddy treatment of veterans seeking mental health help, the minister responsible, Julian Fantino, was in the neighbourhood. His department appears to be fuelled by molasses, but Fantino can act in a timely fashion. 

By the time Ferguson laid out the problems in chapter and verse, the veterans affairs minister was in Italy.

And for once again proving without a doubt that he should be fired IMMEDIATELY.

There is an old baseball adage that holds if you put a substandard fielder on the diamond, the ball will quickly find him. In politics the same holds true. Put a substandard minister in your cabinet and trouble will quickly find him or her. 

Even if you can’t find him on a day for him to stand up.

(3) PETER GOLDRING



For coming up with the most idiotic plan to fight sexual harassment, the Commons, the country, and the entire world has ever seen or heard.

Peter Goldring, Member of Parliament for Edmonton East, today stated that MPs that consort with others should avail themselves of readily available risk protection for their health and integrity, to prevent besmirchment when encounters run awry.

“It will not be good enough to simply say that your intentions were honourable and you were just inviting a colleague to your apartment at two in the morning to play a game of Scrabble at the end of a day of playing sports and drinking. MPs must learn, as I have from encounters with authority figures in the past, that all do not tell the truth.

I now wear ‘protection’ in the form of body-worn video recording equipment.

For shocking the bejeezus out of everyone with horrible images of cameras in all the wrong places.

For clearly using this sordid crisis to fight an old sordid battle. With the POLICE.

And for at the end of the day retracting that idiot statement faster than he got out of that truck. 

But not before the damage was done...



And not before the Harper Government was made to look even crazier or even more useless than it did the day before.

So as you can see it's not an easy thing to determine who best deserves the Con Clown Award, and I'm leaving that difficult choice up to you.

While I take the easy way out, and declare them ALL the winners...



In the fond hope that they will all soon be given the hook.

For honestly, in the name of decency, and sanity, and OUR poor Canada.

It can't happen soon enough...
