Around Christmastime two years ago, Alberta Premiere Ralph Klein asked his driver to stop at a homeless men's shelter so he could stagger inside and say "Happy Holidays" to the less fortunate - in the middle of the night. Minutes later he was hollering at the men to "Get a job!" and his driver had to hustle him out of the shelter.
Klein kinda-sorta apologized and, though he wouldn't admit to being the falling-down drunk that he is, did promise to severely cut back on his drinking. By New Year's Day, he was telling the press he had imbibed "a thimbleful of cognac". Uh-huh. Didn't realize there were gallon-sized thimbles.
Anyway, this guy recently went a step further than our dear Ralph.

Yikes! At least he was forced to resign, unlike Klein. And let us not forget his buddy to the west Gordo, who was convicted of DUI in Hawaii but still rules with an iron fist to this day! And he'll win tomorrow again despite everything! Disgusting.
I can't believe how much more fun Canadian politicians are then our boring old crooks!
That's one way to look at it, I guess: we have younger, funner crooks! It's all how you frame it, eh?
