Baird Goes Berserk In Bali

Minister of Hot Air and Global Warming John Baird flipped out in Bali today as word rocked the beach paradise of his links to a political bribery scandal back home in Canada.

Ontario Provincial Police Forwards O'Brien File To RCMP To Probe Role Baird Played In Bribery Case, read a screaming headline in the Ottawa Citizen this morning.

According to sources at the beach resort where Baird is hiding on the taxpayer dime along with President Harper's pint-sized fartcatcher Dimitri Soudas, the loudmouth minister responsible for patronage in Eastern Ontario had a ballistic shit fit.

As Canadian and international critics attacked Baird and President Harper's lack of commitment to fighting climate change, Baird attacked environmentalists who have rightly blamed the lackey for lying to the world about the Republican Conservative climate change plan.

Baird had the gall to blame environmentalists for Canada's dismal reputation on fighting global warming when he is fully responsible for making Canada a laughing stock on the world stage.

Meanwhile, back in Canada, the RCMP were salivating at the chance to get their hands on the OPP criminal file to see who else in the Harper entourage is linked to the bribery scandal involving Ottawa Mayor Larry, Moe and Curly O'Brien.

The provincial police investigation - which has so far resulted in two criminal charges againt O'Brien - alleges the mayor negotiated with someone federally to get Terry Kilrea a National Parole Board appointment if he dropped out of the 2006 mayoral race, which he did.

The cops have so far swooped down on Baird on two occasions to demand answers. Now the national force gets to put him under the bright lights.

That's a hell of a Christmas present for Canadians, who are tired of Baird, the same Mike Harris retread who sat at the provincial cabinet table when decisions were made to cut water testing in Ontario.

That decision, of course, led to the Walkerton, Ont., water disaster that left seven dead and thousands more sick.

And this loudmouth is now responsible for the national water supply.
