Made My Day

Ah.. early morning blog reading. Came across this post by CalgaryGrit, discussing possible Liberal replacements for Paul Martin. I got a chuckle out of this:

Scott Brison: The sleeper pick of the field. I think Canadians will accept an openly gay Prime Minister. But I'm not sure they'd accept an openly Tory one.

Damn right! I'm reminded of that scene from Blazing Saddles: "We'll take the niggers and the chinks, but no Irish!"
