Eh.

It's just an opportunist liberal attacking conservatives, thereby pleasing his niche audience. It doesn't seem any different from the way uber-conservatives act toward liberals...generally speaking.

Good looking people? You mean the fact that the network focused on something so superficial and shallow rather than Hilary's politics?

The guys aren't funny, what they show is.

Do you think that you couldn't do exactly the same thing with MSNBC?

I actually found it a bit amusing, except for the ending. Curious, but why did you find that the only funny part out of the whole clip? It left me with no positive emotions.

its true, i probably shouldnt be as interested but i am. your news leaks over here, WAY more than the other way around. and being on pm for several years rubs off on you. or practically anywhere on the internet, its all about the USA.
and its kind of a relative thing, i want you guys to do well. and i have some other interests down there, like a american girlfriend.


and your politics is more interesting than canadas, ours tend to be less crazy.

this is also true.

To be fair Australia has its fair share of pseudo-journalism too. Actually the current affairs shows here are probably worse than Fox. The chasers make fun of them too though

I don't know if I believe that... yours make jokes about their fellow legislator/ex-SO during their speeches... and cross party lines like they change their socks.

Americans are dull. They just talk... and, yes, yell "object!" like silly second graders with a substitute teacher.

But I think Canadians are way more interesting. Their politics anyway. I think its just a well kept secret... Too bad.

Actually party lines are pretty sacred in Canada. Moreso than in the US. You'll almost never see a politician vote against his party, but in the US it's normal for a few to do so.
Our party whips are more intimidating I guess.

The way the voting system works, if a politician voted against his party on something important, they probably wouldn't let him run with their party in the next election... and if he had any kind of power in parliament, he'd suddenly find himself a back-bencher.

In the old days, the Party Whips used real whips. [color="#C0C0C0"]With metal spikes, even.[/color]

I just wish they used the mace more often.

It's true, half the time we forget you guys are up there. The only Canadian politician I even know of is your PM, Stephen Harper, and the only Canadian political pundit I know of is Mark Steyn, but that's just because he's a dual citizen who fills in for Rush.

It's so easy to miss Canada. All tucked away down there.
