Gotta love Rick Mercer

If an American presidential hopeful did something like this, it would sink him. But this is Canada, and Bob Rae probably just netted himself a chunk in the Liberal leadership race.

All puns absolutely, 100% intentional.

I saw the ad, and decided I want him to win.

Besides, I don't really blame him for what happened when he was Premier. His party never expected to win, and they were all very inexperienced and unprepared.

OTOH, I have no desire to see Dubya skinnydip, thank you very much.

This just strengthens my resolve to move to Canada.

Okay. Here's the deal. You guys warm the place up, and I'll move in a heartbeat! *L*

I don't think it will help him - opinion in the blogosphere is that he made an ass of himself (literally).

I still prefer Iggy's faults to any of the other candidates' strengths.

Not quite.

If an American Democratic presidential hopeful did something like this, it would sink him. If a Republican presidential hopeful did something like this, it would be made to seem warm and human, and you could bet that it'd be an intentional distraction from some piece of exceedingly vile legislation being pushed through.
