After hearing Canada's Auditor General boxing Harper's ears for quoting her out of context, I thought it might be a good idea to review the abuse that the english language is taking at the hands of the Harperites lately:
"Misquote" - Taking something another person said completely out of context and putting it in another unrelated context entirely.
"Accounting Error" - A money laundering scheme which rightly leads to criminal charges being laid.
Procedural Matter - Better known as being found In Contempt of Parliament - a more serious charge than being found "In Contempt of Court" in a Parliamentary Democracy.
Fraudster - A person likely to become an adviser to the PM.
Balanced Budget - Sorry. That one's not part of a Conservative lexicon - haven't seen it happen yet.
I'm beginning to think that Harper's government might actually succeed in redeeming Brian Mulroney's reputation ... by sinking lower.
