Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet

Sounds scarey doesn't it? Don't worry kitties, it's just another political insult, which our Canadian kitties and their humans may remember.

During the 2003 Ontario provincial election campaign, the Progressive Conservative Party (which was in power at that time) called the Ontario Liberal Party leader Dalton McGuinty Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet.

The incident was reported widely in Canada and the comment backfired badly on the Progressive Conservative Party (what a tautology) which subsequently lost government.

Of course, Mr McGuinty is not from another planet, is not evil, nor reptilian and nor does he eat kittens.

Premier of Ontario - see for yourself.

Of course political insults are not unique to Canada. Australian politicians are well practiced in the art of the political insult in between debating bills in the chamber. We have spineless jellyback which goes down a real treat. One time, the leader of one of our minor parties was called skanky ho with the meaning not registered, until she looked it up. She was furious.

*As always, please check out Cooper and Camilla who always have interesting things to say.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........

I was left alone all day today, and it was also a cold day too. I did play with jar lid rings in the morning with my human before he left, which was nice.

We're gonna watch Numb3rs soon and hopefully I will have my fur brushed.
