Worth a Laugh

While lounging around the house today I caught a few minutes of Craig Oliver’s “Question Period”, and found the entire experience to be pretty laughable. Watching Warren Kinsella discuss the Mulroney affair appears to be an effort in futility.

To begin with, Mr. Mulroney is a bit irrelevant at the moment, isn’t he? Neither major party seems to want him, and someone whose charisma gave him the opportunity to become an “elder statesman” has become more of a target for low-level media bulldogs to take potshots at.

The program did have one redeeming value, though. Watching Kinsella practice pronouncing “Mulroney” was worth a laugh or two. He’s working very hard on it, as once he’s mastered the name he’ll only have a couple more phrases to go before he can be taken seriously as a political commentator.
