This Crap Is Getting Out Of Hand

It would appear that the lib-left in Canada is just one small step away from saying that "If the US President wears black pants, our Prime Minister shouldn't. If Harper wears black pants when Bush wears black pants, well then he's acting too american. Too much like Bush!"...

Give me a friggin break.

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper's motorcade has acquired a presidential look.

But one MP says the big black SUV now cruising at the rear of the entourage is a bit too remindful of President George W. Bush.

And its gas-chugging potential raises other issues, even for a prime minister who ditched the Kyoto accord, says New Democrat Pat Martin.

The SUV surfaced two weeks ago behind the armoured limousine, and a lead car, that ferries Harper about town. The motorcade takes Harper even from his Langevin Building office across Wellington Street to his Centre Block space on Parliament Hill.

The drivers are armed RCMP officers, but the addition of the SUV makes the entire motorcade look like a Secret Service operation.

Bush has had black SUVs in his motorcade for several years.

The 320-horsepower V8 Chevrolet Tahoe now embedded in Harper's parade is made in the U.S. GM Canada truck plants assemble Silverado pickups.

As has been said of the SUVs in Bush's procession, the new black wheels add an air of intimidation to Harper's motorcade.

"It looks like something Darth Vader would be driving," says Martin. "We've got this gas-guzzling behemoth touring around with the prime minister. It looks tough, it looks quasi-military. Is that the kind of image the prime minister wants to project?"

These people are so completely consumed by their hatred of the freedoms in the US, and the possibility that Canada may regain some of those freedoms, that nothing is beyond contempt.

Here's a newsflash you MoonBat idiots: WE DON'T CARE IF THE PM HAS AN SUV IN HIS MOTORCADE!!!
