NannyGate! A Conservative Diabolical Smear (or: I can be stupid like Don Martin)

Call me flabbergasted. I've read the stories about the evil Stephen Harper. I've heard the rumors of the Conservative parties abuses of power. But wow, this takses it to a new level. Those diabolical Conservative's sure can create a scandal can't they? So far they have coerced three nannies, the operator of an employment placement agency, an official of an agency who deals with problems immigrant workers might have with employers, into going along with this plot to overthrow Ruby Dhalla in the next election.

But wait, that's not all. They have also gotten into the heads of two Ontario Liberal cabinet ministers, who apparently the PM got to hold a meeting in their government offices, all to hatch this plan to smear Dhalla. Wait, there's more. As part of this complex plan, they teamed up with that right-wing newspaper, the Toronto Star. So well thought out was this plan that they had the paper begin doing an investigation into abuses faced by nannies in the workplace months ago.

Forget Watergate, Adscam, or any of the other scandals of the past. This plan, obviously hatched to move the Conservative seat count from 143 to 144, is without precedence the worst case of political dirty deeds the world has ever seen. And this plan was put into effect over a year ago, with the three nannies being planted into the Dhalla home in succession. Conservative's waited for just the right time, right after the Liberal convention, to play this scheme to perfection. Now that you've read all that, your thinking that sounds pretty stupid, right?

Yes it does, but no stupider than Don Martin's idiotic editorial in the National Post laying blame everywhere except the accused, Ruby Dhalla.

UPDATE: After giving it some thought I've realized that this was in fact a two-part scheme designed to dampen the media bounce of the Liberal parties convention. The first part of this diabolical plan was first thought out 50 years and nine months ago. It was at this time the PM's mother and father looked at each other with a gleam in their eyes, hatching a plan that would rival anything you might see in an Austin Powers movie.

They would conceive a child on this date. That child would go on to become the Prime Minister of Canada. Now here is the real genius part of the plan. The unborn childs 50th birthday would fall on the same day as the Liberal Party convention of Michael Ignatieff in 2009. Pink flamingoes would be placed on the lawn, allowing for a photo-op of the PM to steal the spotlight away from the Liberal coronation.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!
