Canadian Member of Parliament decries "big-ass subsidies"
Saw an amusing moment on C-Span yesterday. An MP asked the Prime Minister when he was going to "end subsidies to Big Oil and Big-Ass -erm- to Big Gas..." After the laughter, the PM promised to "get to the bottom of this forthwith. I hope the MP is not making any personal observation..." The MP, flustered, said "I have no idea what was in my mind when i said that, but seriously, when will the subsidies end?" PM: "Of course, a Freudian slip is always a serious matter..."

:ROFL:

1. Not just any Canadian MP, either, but Jack Layton, leader of the federal New Democratic Party.
This is for those who'd like to know which Member of Parliament it was. And Stephen Harper really does have is a big ass...
