Is It Mandatory to Get a Lobotomy Before Running for the Conservatives?

Our current (and hopefully soon forgotten) federal agriculture minister is the prince of tact.

If you're not in Canada, let's bring you up to speed.

Maple Leaf Foods, a Canadian food institution, had to pull millions of dollars of cold cuts from the shelves because of contamination that causes listeriosis. This has killed 17 people so far, and could kill many more as it takes months for symptoms to begin showing.

So this crown prince of idiot decides to say in a meeting (when referring to the current election, "This is like a death by a thousand cuts. Or should I say cold cuts." Then to add another jewel to his crown he says when told of a new death, "Please tell me it's (Liberal MP) Wayne Easter," - the Liberal critic for his department.

Now you see, this is the problem with democracy - not only can you elect anyone, but you can elect anyone with just enough brain cells to manage to scrape together signatures and an entry fee.
