Introducing ... The Sweatermobile

Or, perhaps, the Fratmobile.

Great YouTube link sent to us.

[UPDATE: THEY LATER SENT US A STILL, AS YOU CAN SEE AT LEFT, AND FIXED THE VIDEO.]

Our emailer says: "Video taken last night during a Tory war council at their campaign headquarters at 1700 Ellice (hmm, wonder who's the landlord?). Tory caucus members and candidates were given a kick-the-tires view of the Sweatermobile by McFadyen. Enjoy."


Enjoy, indeed.

The gift of Carman-gate just keeps on giving for Huey. Just like the clap.

Not a huge surprise Denis Rocan was booted from caucus for using his opportunity to speak to the budget yesterday to rip McFadyen a new one and then vote to support the budget.

But you have to wonder whether McFadyen is beginning to regret his campaign to oust the venerable MLA, cuz now he has a complete and utter loose cannon on his hands.

(Interesting to note, too, that Rocan was the only one Huey was successful in knocking off. Both other targets, David Faurschou and Jack Reimer, rebuffed the Tory leader and his crew's efforts to dump them.)

It was hillarious to hear CBC radio this morning further drilling into the Wellington NDP "issue" with McFadyen calling it "a big mess" or something like that.

Meanwhile he has a member of his caucus speak at length about why Huey and the Tories suck in the Chamber, every word recorded for posterity, and then mutiny on the budget vote. Virtually unheard of.

Big mess, indeed.
