Beer and popcorn

Okay, does anyone doubt that

1. had a Conservative said something this callous they would be done,
   
2. had this happened in mid-January we would no doubt be talking about Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and
   
3. regardless, this could sink the Liberals' ship?
   

Message to Stephen and the strategists (sounds like a rock band, doesn't it?): this quote .... this set of quotes is gold. Absolute gold. Use it, along with whatever other bombshells you must have agains the Liberals, but use it wisely, sparingly, and with a sense of "here's why we'll treat you and your money with respect".
