Poilievre, The New Screamer, screws up another attack

Pierre Poilievre, the MP for Nepean-Carleton, is getting to be more and more of an embarrassment for Canada and Canadians. He skips in the Commons and cusses like a sailor; but he does it in a tailored suit so that no-one will possibly notice.

He acts like a jack-ass with an IQ of a dung-beetle.

On the day that the Ontario government released its latest budget, the "Perfect PP" travelled to Toronto to be the mouthpiece of Harpers latest slagging of the Ontario government. I guess that "Pretty-boy" Flaherty, the federal Minister of Money, who got the ball started on this slag-fest, decided that maybe he was hurting his image in Ontario (as he tries to wrest the provincial Tory leadership from John Tory) so Harper assigned a disposable Ontario MP, Perfect PP, to carry on the attacks.

So Perfect PP gets to Toronto and offers to be 12 lines above the fold to any journalist he could find.

McGuinty is a dope, Perfect PP yells. Ontario is the last place in Canada anyone would want to invest, he screams. God will smite the non-Conservatives in this province of heathens. He finishes with, That's just my personal opinion, of course.

He then strays a bit from the PMO-prepared script and, boy, is he in trouble now!

In a post-budget press conference McGuinty was asked about the Federal Immigration proposal currently being force-fed in Ottawa. A descendant of Irish famine-era immigrants, his response was that, "...we were [unskilled but] looking for opportunity and we brought with us a solid work ethic."

The door was open for Perfect PP to pounce and he jumped in with all five appendages but... unfortunately his brain was not in sync with his mouth.

"The Premier had no business commenting on immigration," blurts Perfect PP. He went on to describe immigration as an exclusively federal jurisdiction. Guess he didn't fully read his illustrated copy of the Constitution Act of 1867 that states that immigration is a federal responsibility but also states that provinces can set immigration policy. In fact Quebec has a major say in immigration and other provinces are trying to get the same concession from Ottawa.

What was his come-back to this mis-speak... Aahhh, what time does my government jet leave for Ottawa?

Where, you might ask, was the other major CON from Ottawa and why was he not volunteered to go to Toronto instead of the PP? Well, it seems that John "the Screamer" Baird was busy setting up a date to a dog show or something with the PM's missus.
