“I did not have sex with that woman.” - Bill Clinton.

“What obscene language? You hear anything? What word? Of course, I have seen the clip. But what word?” - Larry Achong

Of course “sex” to Clinton meant vaginal sex.

And in that same wonderful vein of political denials, we have Larry Achong Member of Parliament for Point Fortin implying that since he never vocalized an expletive he never said it.

It doesn’t help either that he reminds me vaguely of a cross between Fat Bastard and Don Vito.

And when Prime Minister Patrick Manning labels smelter objectors as dotish or foolish, what more can we expect from the minions? If the leader is that bad, what do you expect from the foot soldiers?

And not only did he allegedly mouth an obscenity and treat everyone in the meeting with complete disdain, but he then denied the whole incident based on a technicality. He didn’t vocalize anything, so he never said anything subsequently there is no need for him to apologise for anything.

It just helps me to realize that we’re in much deeper trouble than we previously thought.
