Political conventions are inherently bonkers

by Aaron Wherry on Friday, August 14, 2009 2:24pm - 7 Comments

Twenty minutes into the NDP convention business and we’ve got a request that everyone celebrating a birthday or anniversary this weekend be recognized and a rant against Barack Obama’s “regime.”

CPAC has never been more entertaining.

    I wonder when the first Dipper will say "Stephen Harper is Obama's poodle", or "Michael Ignatieff is Obama's poodle". Despite the NDP's best efforts to smother anti-US sentiment in the party, it's probably just a matter of time.

      Stephen Harper is Obama's Bichon Frise and Michael Ignatieff is Obama's Akita.

      Poodle breeders were complaining about the disparagement of the breed, and they do have a powerful lobby.

          Harper does his best to act like an SOB, from time to time. :)

    Political conventions always bring out the worst in political parties (e.g., Dion becoming party leader LOL!)
