In one fell swoop, Rick Mercer has taken a much more effective, and delightful, shot at the Conservatives by speculating over possible cabinet positions to award the party’s stupider MPs.

Rob Anders – Minister of State (Multiculturalism)

Rob Anders is the guy to reach out to Canada’s diverse multicultural communities.

“Nelson Mandela is a terrorist.”
- Rob Anders

“Rob is a true reformer and a true conservative. He has been a faithful supporter of mine and I am grateful for his work.”
- Stephen Harper endorsing Calgary West Conservative MP Rob Anders

…

Minister of Citizenship and Immigration – Art Hanger

“Immigrants are choking welfare systems, contributing to high unemployment, and many cannot read.”
- Conservative MP Art Hanger

Myron Thompson – Minister of State (Youth Justice)

“Let’s lower the age to ten.”
- Conservative MP Myron Thompson, commenting on the age at which he believes one should be tried as an adult, at a Vernon, BC meeting.

Many of the Tory’s weakest links are the same gaffe-prone throwbacks that dogged the Reform and Canadian Alliance parties. Yes, I know that even the Liberal’s are now agreeing that their party’s campaign is being run by idiots, but these Tory MP’s are practically begging to be exposed for the fundie-bigot-nutjobs that they are… Exploit them dammit!

I’m not a particularly fond of the Liberals, but I’m dissapointed to see them squander away their government due to such an unbelievably inept campaign.

Heck, the Tories will probably even lose their scorn for gay rights after enjoying a Liberal campaign that frankly licks balls.
