PM Harper Teaches Dion About ABC's

I saw this on Question Period yesterday (March 12) and then Dr Roy posted an article about it.

Not since the days when Jean Chrétien was prime minister and Stockwell Day the leader of the opposition has there been such a mismatch in the House of Commons. Reading through Question Period each day presents ongoing examples of Mr. Harper rising to the challenge presented by Mr. Dion and soundly making him look foolish.

One commenter is obviously delusional:

10:25 PM A minor point regarding wit that hardly justifies the headline. No doubt the robotic Stephen Harper had his speech writers dredge up this witticism. Don't wet your pants, Mr. Turley-Ewart.

So Ambrose99, PM Harper had 2 minutes to get his speech writers into the House, and they wrote this response for him?



Wednesday is the day all parties get together to plot strategy, and the Liberals came up with a multiple choice quiz for PM Harper. Dion, from a script, written by his speech writers, and agreed to by his fellow Liberals, starts the game. PM Harper quickly turns it against the Liberals. Watch the Liberals trying not to laugh at something the Conservatives said while Dion is speaking, even they don't believe what Dion is saying. MP Karen Redman has to take a sip of water to hide her face.

What's next puppets? Oh, wait....the NDP already did that one!

Compare Dion, his shouting, arm waving, and failure to make a point, with PM Harper, calm, relaxed, and capable of thinking on his feet.

If anyone can make out on the tape what was so funny, please comment. It appears the Conservatives were teaching Dion the ABC's.
