Hawaii 5-0

If only I could take credit for this, but alas, someone mailed it to me at work.

Frankly, however, I'm with Ryan on this one. This is just a witch-hunt by the people who are happy to blame the mess left by the last government on the poor sod stuck cleaning it up. This has jack shit to do with his job, other than the fact the guy deserves a good bender. Drunk politicians are a Canadian tradition, for crying out loud. Look at that statue of Vancouver's founder down in Gastown: what's he standing on? A beer keg. Sir John A. MacDonald himself, the "Father of Confederation" was a notorious piss-tank and there isn't a history book on the shelves that will deny the fact that his repeated boozing-up of the various Premiers who signed on to Confederation was instrumental in the creation of Canada as a nation. If hypocritical morons paying lip service to democracy were doing things like fire-bombing your wife's office in anarchistic attempts to influence your policy wouldn't you get hammered on vacation? At least he isn't an appointed Premier spending millions on scrap iron (wanna buy a slightly used fast-ferry anyone?) and making up random budget numbers, eventually leaving an impossible fiscal mess behind. If you really want moral guide-posts for political leaders how about we just do away with that separation of church and state thing and go back to tea-toatalling theoretically-celebate bible-thumpers in charge?
