Dryden is really losing it, Tuesday he rose in the house and tried to tie Watergate to the Cadman affair. Here's the exchange between Dryden and Moore. You need to watch it to get the full flavour.
The very last line is courtesy of my 14 year old son. He seems to have the same dry humour I do.
Watergate was from 1972 to 1974, Moore was born in 1976, so he is right, he wasn't even born yet. How far back in history are the Liberals going to go? Are we going to hear about Nero and Rome burning next? Are they next going to blame the dinosaurs for dying in Alberta and not Ontario?
Too silly! My son is right: Dryden not enough pucks to the head!

What a gong show. We pay those bozos for this? I'm starting to think Question Period should be abolished. It seems to have outlived its usefulness. It's degenerated into a 45-minute competition to see who gets the best soundbite.
Dinosaurs! Good one. I'll be they are definitely thinking about how to tie that one - after all Alberta has oil, old dinosaurs make oil, Stephen Harper is from Alberta .....hmmmmm curiouser and curiouser...
Speaking of old dinosaurs....Ken Dryden bringing up Watergate? They really are living in the past.
I would love to be in their meetings where they decide what to ask questions on.
It might go something like this.
"Damn - did you see that red neck SH at NATO - how dare he steal the spotlight from us, the natural governing - we have to figure out how to keep our voters from seeing what a leader he is."
"Crap - then he goes to Auschwich and leaves that inspiring and emotional message in the book - we REALLY have to figure something out."
"Hey - I hear the NDP in Sask might have some tape of one of their MP's slagging gays - it's 16 years old, but if we go at it that you can't change an old dog's mind or whatever that saying is, Canadians just might buy it"
"Well, we definitely will play that - we can get some of our press friends to give it some play, maybe throw in a few words so that we can use the Scary, Hidden Agenda thing again"
"Don't forget, we still have Mulroney, Cadman AND Brenda Martin. Let's start in again on Cadman - what kind of big scandal can we bring out to get Canadians to start thinking of voting for us. "
Hey - most voters remember Watergate - let's suggest that - that outta get the voters to finally realize they should not have voted for us.
Yeah!! Cheers all around
Hey Ken - you do the honors - after all - it will be like a hockey game- He Shoots!! He Scores!!
Whoooo... clapping, fists pumping

.I hate when a comment goes awry!!
the scentence should have been ...
"should have voted for us"
The reason that Dryden and his bunch bring up these inane questions in the house is they are looking for that 15 second sound bite, as optimus says, for their friends in the MSM to play for them on the 6:00 news.
The problem is, they don't realize that youtube is here now to show the other side of the house and the inevitable smackdown that comes with it.
The Liberal Party of Canada, out of touch, out of questions and out of time....

Yes, Youtube is an easy way to get exposure. I agree with Optimus, Question Period needs to be changed, it's all about sound bites, problem is it's biting the opposition in the butt.
There should be no immunity in the House anymore, especially because TV and Youtube can broadcast everything that is said.
Alberta Girl, I'm not sure the Liberals even put that much thought into what they are doing. It appears they are letting anyone say anything just encase something sticks!
"Alberta Girl, I'm not sure the Liberals even put that much thought into what they are doing"
Actually, you are probably right because if they did "think" about it, they would realize what fools they are making of themselves.
Although - they probably did serve Beer and Popcorn!
that outta get the voters to finally realize they should not have voted for us.
Actually, I think you had it right the first time AB. ;>)

In trying to 'replace' the Conservative Government, they are going straight to the scandal element, unable to shake the Cons foundation.
What they forget, is Canadians were already weary of the Liberals and their throw around money but no solutions, everything is a priority, there isn't a special interest group 'we won't buy', style of governing.
Adscam was just the icing on the cake. Broken promises, all talk and no action, 13 years of Canada spinning it's wheels but going no where, did them in.
Ex:
Magnificent Martin is back trying to spend $5b on the Kelowna Accord (has anyone found the signed contract yet?) while Cons have sped up land claims, matrimonial rights to Native women etc., and budgeted $1b more than Kelowna, with actual targets.
Libs didn't even have Kelowna in their budget.
With the new product safety laws introduced yesterday,
Dion says (gawd that man's english is bad) it's a photo op, 'We' had already started the changes.
Yup, just like Kyoto and every other very very important issue to the Libs....they were just getting around to it.!
The Conservative ideology that scares Liberals, is that Cons make policy that benefits all Canadians,
without a billion dollar price tag,
such as the product safety laws.
So, go for Libs and msm.
Muck around in the past while the Conservative Govt moves this country forward.
The Liberals are so desperate these days and it's showing. They don't care what they're saying. Even they have imunity in the House it still get's out there and it does smear innocent individuals hoping some mud will stick and hurt the CPC. Watergate? They have lost it.
I agree since QP is very public now, the rules of imunity need to be changed. Parliamentarians should not be able to say anything and not be held accountable for it.
Ya, but it happened - you just don't get it do you?
