Harper has asthma attack, still needs nickname
Just heard on the radio that our PM designate went to the hospital yesterday after a particularly bad asthma attack. Am I the last to know he had this condition?! Shades of President Bartlett!
As the type of uncompassionate conservative who believes, beyond all reason, that asthma is a character flaw, I find this development less than heartening. What can I say? I'm Scottish-German -- it's my culture, man... (When Peter Hitchens
blames England's moral decay on the widespread use of central heating, I almost -- almost-- buy it).
Anyway, this should make the nasty leftwing nickname a lot easier to concoct.
Non-asthma related suggestions include "Spongebob Scare-pants" from CB and just plain "Scary Stephen" from Meg.
Someone else, whose email I've mislaid, thought Harper looked a lot like Mayor McCheese, but I'm not quite there.
I'm sticking with "Smirky McWonk" until an improvement goes meme.
Come on guys, keep those suggestions coming. The Canadian Looney Left is too dumb to think of a really good handle for Harper all on their lonesome. We're meanspirited -- we can do it!
UPDATE: Damian suggests "Chimplover McMedicareSmasher"!
