The Shocking Cost of Stephen Harper's Junket to lsrael

We all knew that Stephen Harper's recent tour of Israel was a bloated junket. A massive extended photo-op designed only to win votes back home.

We knew it was packed with religious fanatics, and assorted crazy homophobes.

We knew that there was nothing in it for Canada.

But who knew it was so expensive? 

Stephen Harper's Scary and Delusional Return to Parliament

Well it must have been quite a shock eh? To return to freezing Ottawa after his sunny bloated junket through the Middle East.

And to have the cheers replaced by jeers. Or the sound of questions.

For surely only that can explain why after only a few minutes in the House of Commons today Stephen Harper was looking so shell shocked...



And sounding so DELUSIONAL.

Stephen Harper and the Sad End of the Rapture Junket

Well I see Stephen Harper's shabby bloated Middle East junket is on its way back to Canada

With the Arabs heaving a sigh of relief, the Israelis calling him "Canada's first Zionist Prime Minister." And debating whether his visit was a bad omen.

Benjamin Netanyahu, energized by the full body massage Harper gave him, digging in his heels on the settlement question. 

The Shabby End of King Harper's Ghastly Junket

Well I see Stephen Harper's bloated junket to Israel has ended not with a bang but a whimper.

Not with Great Leader riding triumphantly through the streets of Jerusalem as no doubt he was hoping.

But being towed by a tractor through a muddy field. 

Stephen Harper and the Day the Junket Died

Well it was supposed to be a relaxing day in the Promised Land. A chance for Stephen Harper to travel from one holy site to another. And another.

And soak up the love of the Israeli faithful.

Just after sunset, the prime minister was greeted by hundreds of onlookers who cheered and reached out their hands to touch him as he made his way from his vehicle to the wall. 

After he made his way back to his motorcade, a woman in the crowd was heard to shriek: "He touched my hand!"

Because goodness knows he needs some love eh? 

And he's not getting any from Canadians... 

Stephen Harper's Bloated Junket and the Obscene Photo Op

Well there he was on day three of his bloated junket, praying at the Western Wall.

Looking like he was having a private moment with his Godzilla.

While the wailing throngs reached out to touch him, like he was the Messiah himself.

With one woman being quoted in the media as shrieking "He touched my hand !!!!!"

And the whole spectacle of Lord Harper in the Promised Land seems to have been too much for Andrew Coyne, for there he was today, singing his praises. 

Stephen Harper and the Con Caravan of Hate

For this he took his bloated junket to the Middle East, and stuck us with the tab. 

So he can try to buy the votes of Jewish Canadians, pleasure his rabid Christianist base, pose as a true friend of Israel.

And declare that anybody who criticizes the policies of its brutish right-wing settler regime is an anti-Semite. 

Stephen Harper and the Bromance From Hell

When I saw this picture published tonight by the Con Ministry of Propaganda and Disinformation, I have to admit I was conflicted eh?

On the one hand I despise both Stephen Harper and Benjamin Netanyahu for being vicious Cons and demagogues, who would lead their countries to disaster, and the world to war.

But on the other hand I can't deny that any man who would praise Harper for his "moral leadership," must be madly in love with Great Leader.
