This campaign has more than its fair share of bright sparks running in it. Every party has at least one nutball in its ranks. At least Mario tries to purge his.
“On Saturday, Mr. Dumont fired Christian Raymond, the ADQ candidate in the riding of Prévost, after Mr. Raymond was quoted last week saying Quebec needs to "promote the birth rate, otherwise the ethnics will invade us."
Mr. Raymond was also quoted as saying: "People come here and we're supposed to let them wear turbans and kiss the asphalt [an apparent reference to praying in the direction of Mecca]. . . . If they don't want to fit in, let them go back home." (The Globe & Mail)
Kiss the asphalt? Good lord. I only do that during my “Spring has Sprung/The snow has melted” equinoctial ritual. Um. Everybody does that, right? Eh?
By the way, poor Mario Dumont. I wonder how painful it feels to be sporting a brand spanking new arsehole, since Chantal Hebert tore him a new one on Tout Le Monde en Parle last night. Ouch. How tough was she? I was staring at the t.v. with my mouth open. When I see her on The National she always seems pretty nice, but that must be her safe English t.v. persona; on French t.v. she’s a whole different gal. You go, grrrrl.

dem darned ethnics
out here, we got the frost bit lips from plunging them into the icy melting lakes that used to be sidewalks to try to kiss that asphalt
(which is always a word I have loved tho have never really understood ash-fault? faulty ash? former ash? is there actually any ash involved? but I digress, see frozen lips above)
and finally, I love chantal
but last I saw, she wasn't partic. nice in eng.
There's no ash in asphalt. Like the g in badminton that we all pronounce, it's not actually there.
Of course, if we pronounced it ASSphalt, that would be juvenile, and we can't have that.
no can't be juvenile-
but what about the g in onions or the x in ask?
