Totally without context politics!

Asked about his time with [The Prime Minister] at the National Citizens Coalition, Nicholls said: "I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he in that time eat a baby."

 
Oh, fine. Context.

I'm just trying to figure out the continuing fascination with politicians' dietary habits, myself. Although "Vote Conservative - We Don't Eat Babies!" would at least promise a more entertaining spate of ads next time around.

See, but that doesn't mean he doesn't eat them now.

This is really the press release they should have given out right away, instead of “that was immature, and also, mean!”

Well, the Liberal campaign this year was pretty entertaining. Particularly how they decided all they needed to do was point the finger at how evil the Conservatives are and how they'll ruin their country with their values that no one agrees with, and not actually tell us what the grand Liberal plans for running the country were. Especially in the last week where the Liberal site was basically dedicated to an in-depth critique of the Conservative campaign. I mean, when the Liberal ads get on the Colbert Report and the Daily Show, we must be doing something right.

The Liberal supporters just ate it all up, of course. I think that's what makes me angry about it the most.
