Mercer grabs Tory MP's cyber domain, reroutes traffic ROFL!
Mercer grabs Tory MP's cyber domain, reroutes traffic to communist web site

OTTAWA (CP) - The comedian who once got thousands of names on a petition to have Stockwell Day change his name to Doris Day has set his sights on another Conservative politician.

The Doris Day petition made fun of the former Reform Party leader's promise to make important policy choices after holding referendums. This time, Rick Mercer is skewering MP Jason Kenney on his namesake web site. Mercer this week announced he has purchased www.jasonkenney.org and is rerouting traffic to the Communist Party web site.

"I wanted something that screamed Jason," Mercer says.

The comedian said the idea came to him as he watched Kenney complain in the Commons recently that Liberal MP Don Boudria had no reason to be angry that anti-same-sex marriage advocates had bought www.donboudria.ca.

4. Thanks, Rick.
What can you do about Mr. Excitement, Stevie Harper?

I have decided that I am going to do my part to make Stevie Harper more human and refer to him soley as "Stevie". "Steven" is just too anal.

5. And with no new season of his show to plug yet?
I love Rick Mercer. He was the reason 22 minutes was so good once.

8. I got it half right.
There will be a switch to Tuesday, but it won't happen 'til the fall.

10. My side hurt from laughing at his blog
I've bookmarked it to get a good daily dose of Mercer. I really miss the show!


Loved the end of his first blog;

"I have to go now. I just looked out the window and Stephen Harper is behind my shed with Jason Kenny attempting to light my barbecue. I’m going to have to put the hose on those two. Whatever they are doing out there it seems unholy to me. If I’ve told Harper once I’ve told him a million times: “Be spontaneous and ingratiating somewhere else.”

11. I just checked out his blog for the first time and...
am dying laughing at his blog entry entitled:

Confidential To: Conservative Party of Canada Caucus Members

5:10 pm Leader and youth caucus to travel on foot to ByWard market where leader will spontaneously announce he is getting nipple pierced.

Canada press photographer to attend.
Photo of leader’s nipple being iced to be released immediately.

While seated leader will roll up shirt sleeves and expose yellow lance Armstrong cancer bracelet. Jane Taber to be informed that “Stephen relaxed and ordered a domestic beer just like a regular guy, he talked about hockey and declared ‘anyone who drinks imported is a pansy”


and more

WHAT a hoot!
