Harper Wants To Boss the Media Around and Steal Speeches
Change the debate format now? Why not? I just have one tiny demand. Add a debate. Give Harper the debate he wants, but make it October 7. Keep the existing format of the French and English debates on Wed. and Thurs., and add one. More debate on the economy is good according to Stephen Harper, so an extra hour or two would be great.

I don’t think he’ll fare too well in more debate given that he has to poach ideas from other Prime Ministers (or their speech writers). (Is it normal for a party leader and former university professor to plagiarize?) And given that just days ago he was saying our economy was fine an unaffected by the American credit crisis, it seems a tad odd that he’s just now come around to realizing that he’s not insulated Canada from financial disaster befalling our closest trading partner. You’d think a supposed economic mastermind would have figured that out before last week?
Don’t worry Harper. If you do badly in the debate, your merry band of yes-men will leap to your rescue. After all, plagiarism is right, so long as the Liberals do it too.
