Now Gord Goes Green - Well In His Own Way

Posted by Joe Riley on March 23, 2007 8:57 AM | 

Professional envirnomental anoraks are not pleased with the mere £6m increase the chancellor has allowed to assist homeowners with solar panels and wind turbines. They say the government should lead by example, turning off the lights in ministry buildings which are left on all night. But then old Gord found himself in a particularly embarrassing spotlight.

The wannabe prime minister was seen (sitting behind the present prime minister) on the government front bench, fully occupied with hispersonal green issue (sic).
There he was on camera mining away at his secondary facial orifice - or to use non-parliamentary language, enthusiastically picking his nose. The entire exercise - since code-named Operation Nasal Storm - lasted almost a minute. What the chancellor appears to have done with the product of his labours is not printable here.
Yes, this is the man who wants to occupy Number 10.But first things first.
Stop picking your nose in public, Gord, and while you're learning about self-deportment, please learn to how to tie a tie. The prospect of years of scruffy collars and bungled knots is not good for the image.
