You can't be serious
We're just supposed to toss precedent down the drain?
-- PORT AU PRINCE -- Haitian leaders would like to see her stay past the traditional five-year term, which ends this summer. “If the government listened to me, I would tell them to renew the mandate of Michaëlle Jean.”Oh, c'mon now... you really wanna dash the hopes of every female, foreign born, ex-employee of the CBC? --
On a slightly more interesting note, I hear the dark-horse candidate is... no word of a lie... Captain Kirk.
Oh, please, please, please...

I think Michaelle Jean has done an excellent job as GG. However, the normal term of service is 5 years. There must be other candidates who are just as qualified and will be a credit to Canada and the Canadian experience as Madame Jean. Perhaps she should be appointed ambassador to Haiti. Cheers.

so many politically correct choices... so little time.

If we get this guy for GG then hell ya. ;)
The media in this country is simply amazing. They believe that the country is theirs and they are really the ones running it. Maybe they are... only conservatives can stop them. (real conservative)

"langmann says... If we get this guy for GG"
no kidding... i know one hoary old socialist... who'd just be tickled pinko.

Well, now that Rick Hansen has turned it down, the search is on for the next disabled/handicapped/differently abled/cripple (hey, that's what my brother calls himself...) on the list.
And I bet they are cursing McGuinty for scooping up David Onley first.
No, the Spin-The-PC Wheel-of-Choice will have to move past the Vizmin Immigrant Francophone Female slot, past the permanently blocked Straight White Mail slot to...Captain Kirk? No, don't think so. Maybe the Canadian equivalent of George Takei. How about Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall?
Hah ha. Yeah. Denny Crane rocks, too bad he's fiction. I'd vote for him simply for the comedy of it all and to see all the leftists screaming.

i had a "differently-abled" buddy who used to say... "hire the handicapped... they're fun to watch".

I think Ms. Jean has performed her duties with style, dignity, and exceptional ability. I would like to see her stay on but, if not, I would like to see her appointed to a very prominent position on whichever group of bureaucratic numskulls is going to be in charge of Canadian efforts to help rebuild Haiti. See has a feel for the people of that nation and their aspirations. I believe she could be of value in cutting through the maze of red tape that the commission, or board, or whatever is sure to layer on any program in true Canadian fashion.

I bet you know a black guy and a Jew too. Make fun of them behind their backs also? You're a classy guy.

"pennie 'peace moonbeam' simkins snarks... I bet you know a black guy and a Jew too."
well, pen... this is canada... it'd be hard not to... although, in truth, my best friend is about as jewish... as i am catholic.
but what exactly is your point here?
are all the transgendered/ female/ disabled/ obese/ members of a visible minority/ & otherwise generally "special" folks of your acquaintance... so fragile & humourless... they can't laugh at themselves?
boy... that sounds like a fun crowd. make sure you say hi to all the vacuous slogan-spouting socialist robots at the next "save the lesser peruvian vole" rally for me.
hmmm... maybe you should get out more?

Well, my brother does get looks sometimes. I mean, when a one-eyed, one and half-handed guy with a bad limp and more metal in him than a Smart car arrives to work the jackhammer...kinda makes the laughter stop though. Especially from those who, unlike him, aren't on the bad side of 55...
And don't ever get him going on people who "can't work" for almost any reason. See above.

"jag says... don't ever get him going on people who 'can't work' for almost any reason"
i dunno... i think maybe pennie would think he's better off assembling simple wooden toys in a sheltered workshop.
i know a guy who had a stroke a couple of years back... can't even feel hot or cold in one of his arms... try telling him to stop working heavy machinery... just ain't gonna happen.
no comedy-club induced ptsd in this neck of the woods.
