Michael Harris on Peter MacKay and the Con Losers
In my last post I looked at a recent poll, one that had Peter MacKay so far ahead of the other Con leadership candidates it might as well be a coronation.
But sadly for Dumbo, it's only a cardboard crown, or a silly beanie with a helicopter-style propeller.
It won't mean much to most decent Canadians who remember how faithfully he served the monstrous Harper regime.
And Michael Harris for one, is definitely NOT impressed.
He can’t speak French, he views the media as either a vanity mirror or the enemy, and a rubber boot has more ideas.
So why is Peter MacKay the favourite to become the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada?
Chaos. The truth is the CPC is a hot mess at the moment. It is desperately looking for the stability of a well-known party figure to restore order. Pierre Poilievre, Rona Ambrose, and Jean Charest didn’t want the job. That is the best thing MacKay has going for him, no serious rivals, and trouble in the CPC family.
Like so many others Harris strongly suggests that they don't call him Dumbo for nothing...
First he lost his party, or let Harper steal it.
His signature move as a Progressive Conservative was to abandon the party’s traditions, the better to embrace the Reform vision of Harper. It was not a merger so much as a surrender.
Then he just lost it, over and over again.
The follies MacKay committed during his tenure as a Harper cabinet minister were sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous.
He once told Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger that California and British Columbia shared a border.
Who can forget the F-35 fiasco?
As minister of defence, MacKay became famous for being photographed hopping in and out of the cockpit of a fake F-35 Stealth fighter jet. He was less forthcoming with real information about this troubled aircraft, including its mind-blowing cost and chronic problems.
Somehow Harris manages not to mention MacKay's clumsy misogyny, which is bizarre.
As is his failure to condemn this ghastly attempt to try to feminize Justin Trudeau.
What’s with MacKay’s macho-man shtick? Did he really say he’d like to have a cage match with the prime minister, or better yet, a fistfight on the ice — no headgear, no gloves?
And is extolling hockey over yoga, the PM’s workout of choice, the way to convince Canadians he is fit to run the country? Because, you know, the PM is some sort of a yoga namby-pamby?
Which is both misogynistic and homophobic.
But Harris is right about this:
Only in a party half-paralyzed by an identity crisis could such a person be the frontrunner. If MacKay is the saviour, then the CPC had better have a Plan B.
But will Plan B be Plan B for Baird?
Who knows?
But if he's the Great Con Hope the Harper Party is in big trouble.
With less than sixteen days to go before the nomination deadline they still have NOTHING.
And their time is running out...

Now Wornout is fluffing Dumbo's tires, even as Dumbo is being nuclear-ratioed for another tone-deaf tweet pandering to socons on "conscience rights" using MAiD legislation as the Trojan dog-whistle. He's so fucking stupid he actually sent Lametti a letter. What kind of idiot gives their opponents material to use in the next election? But if Wornout is doing PR for Dumbo's campaign, perhaps he'll have similar success with a macho male muse as he had with his clueless harem of Judas Jody, Calamity Jane and Dizzy Lizzy. Then again his gambit to install Weak Andy as PM by attacking Mad Max and capitalizing on Judas Jody's fake scandal was a dud, so I guess Wornout seeks to be an equal-opportunity failure.

If Baird is the shark who will eat him? And will he dare swim out and join the fray? I'm hoping he does so we can have a real scandal, that will take down the Cons better than anything we can do.
I'm not a big fan of Michael Harris, he used to be good years ago, but now he's just another old man who is blind to MacKay's sickening misogyny. But he's right when he says about MacKay "only in a party half paralyzed by an identity crisis could such a person be the front runner." The Cons are going down and that identity crisis will hopefully tear them apart.
MacKay as Justice Minister was an unmitigated disaster. I'm surprised Harpo didn't have Kelly Leitch as Immigration Minister to round out the clown circus. Everything he touched turned to shit though his dumbtitude was done at the behest of dear leader. That this mental midget is considered the front runner reveals a bar set ridiculously low, approaching the point where anybody with a pulse and an enlarged fear gland can enter.
Given recent revelations and if true(which I believe), I would be very surprised if Baird entered the race. How could any one trust someone who's whole life has been a lie? Come out already. Unless of course there's much more to hide. That's why I find the last graphic of Baird as an apex predator eyeing up his prey so disturbing and I imagine for Mr. Gibbs, frightening. Art immitating life?

The Cons got NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Jackie....I saw MacKay's letter to Lametti, and it's obvious he's trying to match True Blue O'Toole's appeal to the Con base. Unfortunately for Dumbo he doesn't seem to realize that we will use all of this against him later. He claims he was different but he's just as misogynistic, and homophobic as all the others, and if he does becomes the Con leader Justin Trudeau is going to bury him and his party...
Hi jrkrideau....Yes, I can hardly wait for the French debate, I hope a laugh track is provided as that will only make Dumbo look like a real Con clown, as he exits stage right....
Hi anon....I understand there are several minnows who have stories to tell, so I wouldn't be surprised if the shark started eating his own tail, or whatever. Every one of those bastard Cons is going down, and it will be beautiful....
Hi anon....I'm not a Harris fan either, he was good against Harper, but then he became just another toxic Trudeau hater. But I'll publish anyone who puts Cons like MacKay down and reminds people of all the dumb and evil things he has done....
Hi JD....Yes, MacKay''s time as Justice Minister was one of the darkest episodes in modern Canadian history. Only the Supreme Court saved us from living in a fascist country. And yes, it was all done to try to please Great Ugly Leader. As for Baird, I have no idea what he's going to do. Coming out would be hard enough for a closet queen like him, and having people accuse him of being a sexual predator, would I'm almost sure be enough to keep him on the sidelines or in the closet. But then he is a Con and most of them lack a moral compass, so who knows what that screamer might do...
Hi anon....Are you the one who came up with that great line? The Cons got NOTHING !!!!! I know it's a sad story, but I'm afraid I also find it amusing. HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!! So thank you.....😀
