Harper and the NDP Go At It Like Shopping Mall Sumo Wrestlers

It’s quite amusing to watch Harper and the NDP give each other love taps in the form of half-hearted, dueling attack ads.

“You so scary, Mulcair. Booga, booga.”

“No, you so weak on the economy, Harper. For shame, for shame.”

Yawn.

One almost has to wonder why the NDP and Conservative war rooms bothered to waste good money on such tepid fare.

While it’s barrels of fun watching Harper and Mulcair endlessly circle each other, stirring regional hornet’s nests and mumbling vague threatening noises, the media and most of the country has already moved on the next news du jour.

If this is the kind of meaningless, predictable posturing we have to look forward to for the next three years, I’ll just go have a nap and you can wake me up when the election’s on.
