Egg Lands On Head Of Bird Brain Sparrow
Politicos of the non Republican Conservative brand were still pissing themselves today after the cock-up of nuclear comical proportions that played out in downtown Ottawa on Sunday, ending on a fire escape at the Sheraton Hotel.
The only thing missing was a net to jump into for the comedy trio of Ryan Sparrow, a name that aptly fits his brain size, Doug Finley, the impish lout who bullies candidates and is married to RayBan promoter Diane Finley, and some no-name lawyer who is probably asking himself today why he didn't become a pharmacist.
At the centre of the punchline was a "secret" plan to invite select media to a briefing to discuss the potential fines and prison sentences facing senior members of the Republican Conservative party for buying the 2006 election with an illegal advertising scam known as In and Out.
The little secret turned out to be a raging exercise in damage control after dozens of non-invited members of the National Press Gallery got wind of the plot and stormed a downtown hotel where the one-on-one meetings were too take place.
But then when Republican Conservatives learned their diabolical strategy to further endear themselves with the Fourth Estate was uncovered they moved the location to the Sheraton Hotel from the Lord Elgin Hotel thinking no one would notice.
The non-invites easily got wind of that change and headed to the Sheraton where the three above-mentioned Republican Conservatives were caught with their pants down , red-faced and flat-footed except when they raced out of the room through a gauntlet of uninvited media and scurried down a fire escape screaming: I want my mommy.
All further one-on-one meetings with select media were cancelled.
