How low would you go?

Well, time to weigh in on last nights major political event... Bob Rae skinny-dipping with Rick Mercer.

Well, it's not like it hasn't been done before... that is, a politician stripping down, and still managing to pull off a major electoral victory. Just ask Arnold... in both Terminator and T2. (I didn't see T3, so can't comment)

I know, most people will say it's just harmless fun. BUT, this isn't just some average Joe goofing off at the cottage... it was deliberately staged, filmed, and then broadcast to the entire nation... and this from the guy who's seeking to be elected to the highest office in our country for crying out loud!

Scary thought is, in this warped nation of ours, likely no one will blink an eye at it. As I said in my rants the other week about Belinda, I expect that a higher standard is set by my elected officials. Of course, Mr. Rae is not presently an elected official... yet.

Having said all that, I will say one more thing... if he's elected leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, you know that there is no way that clip will remain buried during the next campaign. I'm taking bets on how many butt jokes we'll hear...

Here's another little tid-bit to ponder... some of those life-long Liberal grannies, who have voted Liberal all their life, simply won't stand for this sort of moral decay from members of their Party... sorry, they just won't. Many of them are "old-school" like that. Add to that the whole Domi-gate affair, and you've got a large swath of voters who may vote with their canes... and wheelchairs, and walkers.

So, if you support the CPC and have some time to volunteer on the next Election Day, sign up to be a driver... give some of those nice moral, upstanding, respectable, vote-switching elderly women a lift to the polls! ;-)
