Harper's So Fat He Has His Own Zip Code
The Liberal leader joked that the exercise room at Stornaway -- the official residence of the leader of the Opposition -- had been refurbished.
And he said the new workout room would benefit his successor.
"Maybe Mr. Harper will have the opportunity to lose his (extra) weight now because we have this exercise room,'' Dion said.
I'm not so much upset that he called Harper fat, but rather that he did so using such a weak joke. Even Colin Mayes wouldn't find this one funny. They really need to hire back Feschuk because the new guy writing Dion's material is just lame. As a suggestion, I humbly submit the following to Dion for future interviews:
"Stephen Harper's so fat, he takes up more seats in the House of Commons than the entire NDP caucus"
48 Comments:
Stephen Harper is so fat... he's going to win southwestern Ontario (St. Catharines is Canada's fattest city)!
Dion should have remembered that most Canadians are pretty fat themselves.

Stephen Harper is so fat, when he loses his seat they are going to have to put his picture on a milk truck.
Stephen Harper is so fat, he needs to lose 30 pounds before he will be allowed to be a sumo wrestler.

So it's okay for Conservative MP's to say that Belinda Stronach has a fat ass then, is that it?
Wait a minute - don't tell me. The Cons started it, is that it?
Seriously CG - I expect more from this blog than jokes about the girth of our federal politicians.

Stephen Harper is so fat...he has to walk for office
By Leny Vilekoskytch, at 7:50 a.m.
Two can play at that game:
Stephane Dion is so scrawny/skinny/thin...
... when he stands sideways and stick out his tongue, he looks like a zipper!
... on Halloween, he rolls himself in Sesame seeds & goes out as a bread stick!
... he has to strap a 2x4 across his butt so he doesn't go down the drain while taking a shower!
... he uses dental floss as toilet paper!
and so on...

Okay, I actually laughed out loud when I got down to the joke part - that was really good. Give up on this Young Liberal stint and take it on the road, baby - I know talent when I see it.
I was kind of surprised to see the big deal people made of this - but then, I think it's okay for dumpees to call their exes "dog" at work.
I'd like to sound high-handed and moralistic with a, "Can we get back to policy, please?", but if there's gold to be had like "more seats than the NDP caucus", have at it.
(Walks for office was pretty good too!)

It's not a fat joke at all. The joke is that Stephan Harper will be able to work out in the excercise room he had refurbished when he is back in residence at Stornoway after he loses the next election. The joke would work equally as well ifhe were buff. It is funny and subtle and intelligent and dry humour which is why people like Helena didn't get it.

"I don't make cheap personal attacks like that fat neo-con Bush-loving extremist Stephen Harper." - Stephane Dion (ok not really...)
Hey, a LOT worse has been said over the years. That's nothing compared to the personal attacks politicans face day-in, day-out, for all directions.
By Robert Vollman, at 10:57 a.m.
He was joking about Stornaway (and Harper going back there). The bedroom and the exercise room have been renovated and let me tell you I would not want to hear a joke about Harper in the bedroom....
By Jacqueline Alderton, at 10:57 a.m.
Anyone notice that the Conservatives and their supporters are quick to go on the attack and be aggressive . . . . .
Yet the mildest slight sets them off into into fits of whining snivelling.
By Down & Out in L A, at 12:29 p.m.
I don't know what the big deal is, I mean if we called Dion an elitist anti-anglo snob, a typically snooty citizen of france, and a disgusting androgenous bean pole, none of you would drag out you well worn Liberal labels that all end with "ist" now would you?
I didn't think so.
By Peter, at 1:19 p.m.
Remember when Jason Kenny and the Tory war room called Paul Martin a pedophile in the 2004 election?
Yeah, that was a real kneeslapper.
By Raymaker, at 2:08 p.m.
Does anyone see the irony of Helena Guergis, a former "Miss Huronia" in the Miss Huronia Pageant, discussing Harper's weight?
Christ, I've been watching too much Tyra Banks.
By Anonymous, at 2:15 p.m.
bud: "I think that speaks volumes for what kind of human being Dion is."
It does. A not-so-fat kind.
Really - isn't this a mountain out of a molehill? (My apologies if the inference that the mountain has a comparative size issue is deemed offensive. I will submit to counselling).
Read Dion's quote. He doesn't call him fat. If he does then we should have an amendment in the Canada Elections Act that makes it illegal for a candidate to make any comment about how door-to-door canvassing affects their waistline, etc.
Really.
By Mark, at 2:25 p.m.
Yes - Kenney called him a pedophile and Jack Layton called him a murderer. It was truly fucking hilarious.
By Mark, at 2:27 p.m.
"Anyone notice that the Conservatives and their supporters are quick to go on the attack and be aggressive . . . . .

Couldn't you say that about ANY of the parties?
By Robert Vollman, at 3:32 p.m.
Robert Vollman calls it - you could indeed say that about ANY of the parties.
By Jacques Beau Vert, at 3:56 p.m.
"Maybe Mr. Harper will have the opportunity to lose his (extra) weight now because we have this exercise room," Dion said."
Actually, the best joke here is that the media has to translate Dion's English so that ordinary Joes have a clue as to what he's saying. The actual quote was
"Maybe Mr. Harper will have the opportunity to lose his overweight now . . "
Good luck in the debates, Stephane, you're going to need it.
By The Rat, at 4:13 p.m.
What the CPC ads did was frustrate Dion into trying to make a comment in jest. Unfortunately, his dark delivery didn't cut it and it came out lame.
Now I'm *really* looking forward to seeing what Dion and crew will come up with at the Press Gallery Dinner.
By Hatrock, at 4:43 p.m.
denise b, you cracked me up with all 3!
raymaker, good point. i would much rather someone IMPLY that i am fat, than directly call me a supporter of pedophiles and child porn.
By kenlister1, at 4:51 p.m.
I remember Martin and Harper gently kidding each other about their weight a few times back in 2004...I don't think Dion was trying to be malicious - as others said, the joke was more about Harper going back to Stornoway soon.
By calgarygrit, at 7:11 p.m.
The Conservatives, I guess, have no sense of humor... it goes right along with their lack of social conscience, hatred of progress, disregard for the poor and love of tobacco. Welcome to Harper's Canada folks!
By The Former Bachelor, at 7:18 p.m.
the bachelor: "it goes right along with their lack of social conscience, hatred of progress, disregard for the poor."
Lack of social conscience. Progressive definition of social conscience: Not objecting to those who can't taking your money and giving it to those who won't, all so they can use your money to feel better about themselves.
Hatred of progress.
Progressive definition of progress: The inexorable growth of government, the continual erosion of individual responsiblity in favour of collective rights, except for the rights of those who pay the bills.
Disregard for the poor.
Progressive definition of poor:
Any group who decides that society has denied them the comforts which they are entitled to. Actual working poor are justifiable too proud to accept a handout, and will only accept a hand up, making them useless to the "progressive" crowd.
bachelor, what we actually hate is the nanny state telling us how to live our lives, the masters degree holding childless bureaucrat telling us how to raise our children, those who have never met a payroll telling us how to run our businesses, and the Liberal Party, which has become nothing more than the vehicle of choice for the uber wealthy upper Canadian billionaire boys club to exert control over the country. If you think that the Demarais et al, view you young Liberals as anything more than useful fools, you prove their analysis.

Albinia Gueriana - now there's a tubby MP.
CG, do you know how much she clocks in at? 213 lbs?
By Tarkwell Robotico, at 7:57 p.m.
Mauril Belanger - wow. You look at him and you think, "does he realize he's supposed to dole out pork to his constituents and not hog the stuff for himself?"
By Tarkwell Robotico, at 7:58 p.m.
I wish you the patience of Job CG. An aside: He's a guy in the Bible, I know you tolerant Grits hate anybody who might have read it. Looks like Celine is going to use Alberta as the bogeyman to win central Candian seats..time tested Liberal strategy, not good for the country, but good for the Liberals, so who cares?
I do know that getting spit at on doorsteps, having rocks thrown through election office windows and the like isn't fun, so steady young man. What will you do, however, if Celine has gone to far this time? Help him throw Holland under a bus, or put Party ahead of countru like a good little Grit?
By Peter, at 7:18 a.m.
Ok, grithater...I think you might be missing the point of this article...You are supposed to start with "Stephen Harper is so fat..." And even if I spot you that, your jokes just don't make any sense.
By Leny Vilekoskytch, at 7:56 a.m.
Harper is so fat that when he turns around, his colleagues give him a welcome back party.
Dion is slimmer than his chances of becoming Prime Minister.
It's so cold in Ottawa, the politicians have their hand in their own pockets. (Thanks Duff)

I find it both amusing and annoying that Jose and others are continually claiming that the tax incentives the oil industry has are "subsidies" or "corporate welfare".
The only way that a tax cut can be considered a subsidy is if you believe that all property inherently belongs to the state.

Grithater,
I'm pretty sure the bachelor was poking fun at anti-CPC types. It was a parody of some of these nuts. Get a sense of humour!
Start here:

By Robert Vollman, at 12:03 p.m.
Too true, RV. I reread the bachelor's post, and I see the joke. It gets really tiring being told you are a bad Canadian unless you support Liberal Government without end A-men.
By Peter, at 1:25 p.m.
Grithater,
Was totally a joke - tongue-in-cheek approach to all the Conservative stereotypes. I might be Liberal, but I come from a super Conservative, hard-right family and last time I checked none of my relatives were a) addicted to tobacco b) eating like Myron Thompson or c) Slapping around the illiterate like John Baird or d) Threatening to jail the homeless like Flaherty...
Was said in jest though.
By The Former Bachelor, at 1:52 p.m.
Dion is slimmer than his chances of becoming Prime Minister.
Not a bad one, I've got to admit...
By calgarygrit, at 3:55 p.m.
Thanks Grit, I have to admit I was pretty proud of myself on that one.. :)
Great site, keep up the good work.
By le politico, at 11:16 p.m.
Stephen Harper is so fat...that he could all by himself qualify for official party status.
Sorry, but that's the best this Tory can do.
By Brian in Calgary, at 2:44 p.m.
Stephen Harper is a pedophile. He looks like one, and his entire conservative gov can go to hell for all I care!
By Anonymous, at 4:57 p.m.
When stephen harper's children need some medical attention, he'll be praying that he voted NDP!
That fat, pedophile! Biggest loser in canada!
By Anonymous, at 4:59 p.m.
Come on now. He has to ROLL for office.
sheesh.
