Standing in the hallway just now, Barack Obama waved in my general direction. I’ll never wash these eyeballs again.

    Okay, this is becoming embarrassing. I think I saw Harper blushing.

    Ding!

    We have a winner of the “How to capture the absurdity of this whole spectacle” in the 20 Words and Under category.

      Seriously, this post could have been a “Shorter CBC” bit.

      I know it’s tough to kill airtime during events like this, but CBC Newsworld really spent about 20 seconds on this very topic.

        Which, strangely enough, is about the length of the visit itself!

  • Andrew (not Potter or Coyne)

    Oh, that wit sure is dry.

    I’ll be happy when this is over. How embarrassing. I wonder if Obama is embarrassed about this spectacle. Then again, I guess he’s used to creepy people mouthing ‘I love you’ at him from the crowd.

    What Barack said to his aides:

    “They love me here, man, I tell you, I’m killin’ in this burg. They eat it up, even my old material. they even laughed at that stinker Lenny wrote for us … this is my kinda town!”
