Greasy Bacon, And Greasy Eggs!

CTV was in full cry today, why? The PM dared to go to Afghanistan and show up at a school funded by Canadian taxpayers money. The children looked healthy, and happy, imagine that!

Mike Duffy Live had David Akin as a substitute, what a joke. I watched him interview the Liberal and NDP MP's, no Conservative, and nothing said about why no Conservative was present. Then, after commercials, Akin explains that Peter Van Loan was in Toronto, waiting to comment, but due to technical difficulties at the Toronto station, was unable to. Hello, CTV, have you ever heard about the telephone? Or were those malfunctioning as well, by chance? What a lame excuse.

As for Redman whining that Dion wasn't invited on the trip, get over it, you are NOT the government anymore, and PM Harper doesn't have to invite the terrorist loving (cue Coderre the Hezbollah supporter marching in that parade, I'm not making this up) Liberals anywhere. Same goes to the NDP. Though it might have been funny to see Layton talking with the Taliban, and Dion touring the prisons asking the detainees if they were being tortured.

Back to the CTV, "the Prime Minister drops in on Afghanistan to bolster support at home" talking heads, so, according to you, the PM just grabbed the first flight into Afghanistan, because of the polls, and surprise, the children at the school just happened to have some roses and songs for him to hear, and Karzai, just happened to be home at the time? Do you think we are idiots? Can you spin this visit any harder, mention torture any more often, oh and use the line, we support the troops, BUT....

The worse of the lot at CTV, (okay, it's a tie with Akin) is Robert Fife, after a busy day of visiting Canadian aided facilities, and talking to aid workers, what does Fife comment on?

"The prime minister is going to chow down at breakfast with the troops. He's going to have greasy bacon and greasy eggs and stale bread," Robert Fife, CTV's Ottawa bureau chief, told MDL from Afghanistan.

So, a very nasty dig at PM Harper and his supposed eating habits/weight. What a total lack of respect for the PM and by association, the troops, who are supposedly also condemned to eating greasy bacon and greasy eggs and stale bread. I hope the chefs feed Fife exactly that at breakfast, and serve all the others the regular healthy fare they normally serve.

Greasy bacon, and greasy eggs, how about greasy reporters like Akin and Fife?
