As I’m sure everyone knows by now, in parliament yesterday, Liberal MP and Guy Fawkes impersonator Justin Trudeau called Environment Minister Peter Kent a “piece of shit.” Despite being factually accurate, Trudeau subsequently apologized unreservedly to the House for his “decidedly unparliamentary” remark. Speaking on CTV’s “Power Play” later in

Red Tory v.3.0.3: WPITW: Fox & Fiends
The late great Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” Unfortunately that concept is totally alien to Fox “News” that gets busted in this instance for blatantly misrepresenting unemployment figures on graphs to fit its own counterfactual narrative: As for
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: “Invented People”
Some may be familiar by now with controversial remarks made to an obscure Jewish cable TV channel last week by current Republican frontrunner Newt Gringrich while desperately trolling for the wingnut evangelical vote in Iowa, declaring that Palestinians are “an invented people” – essentially, nothing but a deceitful, illegitimate fabrication
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Broke-Back Perry
Another great parody of Republican ad; this time, Rick Perry’s pathetic attempt to rile up homophobic Bible-thumpers: You don’t need to be in the pew each Sunday to know that Rick Perry is an imbecile.
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Ron Bless America
The other day, I expressed admiration for the aggressive new F-150ish “Big Dogs” ad from the Ron Paul campaign, but Conan O’Brian’s parody of it is even more brilliant. “You want cuts? You got ‘em! He’ll cut $1 skrillion of government spending in week one! That’s skrillion… with a skrill!”
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Tom Flanagan: Out of the Closet!
Speaking on CBC’s Power & Politics show about the government’s decision to renounce the hapless Kyoto Treaty, Harper mentor and political “scientist” Tom Flanagan admits he believes global warming is a “non-problem” that he attributes possibly to “cosmic rays” and says “it’s time or the deniers to come out of
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Loontastic!
If anything seems to elicit the barely disguised lunatic aspect of almost every Republican politician (with a few notable exceptions such as Ron Paul and Gary Johnson), it’s their desperate need to almost comically “out-crazy” one another with bellicose, war-mongering rhetoric whenever speaking to radical right-wing Jewish special interest groups.
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: “Beyond the Border” Deal Signed
Stephen Harper was in Washington today to make a joint announcement with his close personal friend Barack Obama about signing of the widespread Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness Action Plan, described by the Prime Minister as “the most significant step forward in Canada-U.S. co-operation since the North American Free Trade
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Ron Paul “Big Dogs” Ad
You don’t have to agree with the message to admire this ballsy new ad by the Ron Paul campaign. Kudos to whatever advertising shop created it!
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Fake Billionaire to Moderate GOP Debate
News that reality-show host Donald Trump will be “moderating” a post-Christmas Republican “debate” in Iowa gave Lawrence O’Donnell yet another delightful opportunity last night to heap copious amounts of scathing abuse on the obnoxious grifter… Of course, should the Newsmax-sponsored event actually come to fruition it will definitely be “must-see
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Branson: OCW “A Good Start”
Eccentric billionaire Sir Richard Branson somewhat surprisingly expressed his support for the OCW movement the other day, admitting they had “very valid reasons” to be protesting. “It’s now up to the business community to ensure that we show the way so that they can go, the Occupy Wall Street can
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Cain “Suspends” Joke Campaign
As expected, Herman Cain announced today that he’s effectively dropping out of the race to be Leader of the Free World. I know… we’re all terribly let down by the decision. Cain claimed he made the decision “with a lot of prayer and soul searching” and blamed it on “the
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Congress in Action!
While the U.S. economy is verging on the brink of another recession, unemployment is mired at 9% (the actual rate being much higher), multiple wars are still being waged around the world costing billions of dollars per day, and with a national debt of $14 trillion looming ever more forebodingly
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Cain Disabled
Uh oh! Another “bimbo eruption” threatens to derail the Herman Cain Art Project for good this time… “It’s probably an infinite number of people who could come forward with a story…” With his poll numbers ebbing in the wake of an inexplicable popular resurgence by the ethically challenged serial adulterer,
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Right-Wingers Aren’t Funny: Part XLVII
Here’s another utterly dismal attempt at comedy by right-wing partisans, this time from the ultra-conservative folks at Pajamasmedia with a fake newscast presumably intended to resemble The Onion. Minus anything amusing, witty, or delightful. Why can’t these right-wing clods simply accept the demonstrably obvious fact that their sense of humour
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: A Man of Steadiness & Constancy
An amusing summary of Mitt Romney’s reversals on… everything.
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: “Conservative” Beer Review
A retarded Bloggin’ Tory maroon turns his acute sensibilities and keen perceptions of world events to the more demanding task of reviewing various kinds of beer… For some bizarre reason the unfortunately named Kretin feels the need to preface everything with “Holy shit” and interlace all of his observations with
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: A Few Good Men v. Sheep
A group of military “heroes” in Afghanistan demonstrate their bravery in the field: There may be some background “context” to this film that may explain why a group of U.S. Marines elected to kill a bewildered sheep by clubbing it to death with a baseball bat while laughing and hooting
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Black Friday
According to the AP: “A record number of shoppers could head to stores across the country to take advantage of deals during the kickoff to the holiday shopping weekend.” Interesting to think that 10,000 rabid consumers lined up outside Macy’s in the dead of night eager to save a few
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: What’s Next for OCW?
As the last motley vestiges of the OCW protest movement’s defiant encampments are being efficiently (and for the most part, amicably) removed this week by civic authorities across the country, it has to be admitted that this particular tactic of the movement was doomed to fail from the outset. With
