The Harper drinking game

So, I'm playing a drinking game today: every time Stephen Harper says "resign" or "Liberal corruption", I do a shot of tequila. It's 11:49 AM as I type this, and I am already plastered.

And look, this isn't the biggest scandal in Canadian history, OK? It's the fourth biggest scandal in Canadian history, according to politicscan, Version 4.0, the world's foremost political scandal detection software.

Highlights of Harper's presser:
(paraphrasing Steve) "Yet despite all this, the Liberals are still in power. Every other example of this in Western democracies, the party responsible has been "obliterated." Uh, what does that say about the alternatives, Steve-O?

Susan Delacourt: "well, Mr. Harper, maybe the reason the gov't hasn't fallen is because...you're a dork. (again, I'm paraphrasing)

CTV guy: same question, in slightly different words.

Harper: (paraphrasing) Look, Canadians will judge next election. Next election, things will be different. Oh yes. I can feel it. And the Leafs will win the Stanley Cup this year, too. Really. And I will sprout wings and fly out of this press gallery.

And Steve-O claims Martin was "exonerated of something he was never accused of."

Huh? Have you listened to yourself and your party the last two years? Then, in the next breath, he implies that Martin, as "chief financial officer" of the governing party that produced this "greatest scandal in the history of the universe," basically should be drawn and quartered. I don't follow here. I'm missing something. Maybe it's because I'm drunk. I think I need to go lie down. This 8-thousand page Report I have before me should make a nice pillow.
