Canadian Politician Quotes Arrested Development During Speech
The new season of Arrested Development is causing so much excitement, even Canadian politicians like New Democratic Party member Thomas Mulcair can't help quoting it in the middle of completely unrelated arguments.
On Wednesday, while decrying Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's remarks concerning a missing $3 billion in "anti-terrorism spending," Mulcair (who, like the show's protagonist Michael Bluth, is also from a very large family) invoked the popular sitcom to hammer home his point:
"Is the money just in the wrong filing cabinet, is it hidden in the minister's gazebo, is the money in the banana stand?" Mulcair demanded (to giggles from the other MPs.)

"I'm sorry - I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, so I am afraid I have a mess on my hands."
"So many poorly chosen words in that sentence."
