BTC: You stay classy, Canadian politics

First sentence from a Liberal press release that just arrived.

“The Conservative Party today released a website with a puffin defecating on Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion.”

Update. And, rather quickly, the puffin flies away.

    Out here on the west coast that is considered a sign of good luck! Now this is funny!

    Cyberpresse has just announced that the Conservatives have pulled the ad.

    K… that is funny.

    Another evil reptilian kitten-eater moment?

    Typical lack of class on the Cons. part. It reminds me of the 2004 “Paul Martin supports child porn” release or the 1993 ad that distorted Chretien’s mouth.

    I knew the warm and fuzzy sweater wearing “Harper’s a real nice guy” ad stuff wouldn’t last.. but I didn’t think even for this lot they’d revert back to form so quickly.

    stribe: Unelected senators. Promise lasted all of 1 day.

    This is just sticking to form.

    Harper’s really decisive isn’t he? The website has been cheap, trashy, immature for 2-1/2 years and now he apologizes? Oh it’s not about VOTES is it?

    Sigh…..Harper is such a jerk

    Harper mentioned that he thought this campaign would have a lot of nasty, personal attacks. He didn’t mention that most of them were going to be coming from the Conservatives.
