It's hilarious, at least after a fashion, how the conservative types
always seem far more obsessed with sex than the racy lefties they
decry. To wit: one
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hudak">Tim Hudak</a>.
Amongst other things, during this election campaign he
<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ontariovotes2011/story/2011/10/03/ontario-parties-campaign-minority274.html">denounced
a sex-ed curriculum that the Liberals never implemented</a>, and
<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/10/04/ontario-security-pc-candidate548.html">defended his party's use of
misleading, homophobic and transphobic flyers</a> to do so.
After failing to win the election but successfully narrowing the
seat difference between his Conservatives and Premier Dalton McGuinty's
reigning Liberals, he held a
<a href="http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/10/07/hudak-emboldened-despite-defeat-mcguinty-on-a-short-leash/">press conference</a> where:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>
...he said the Premier would be on a very short leash. <br />
He said this a lot. At least a dozen times in 10 minutes.
</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Erm, you don't say.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>
Sometimes he noted the leash would not just be short, but tight.
</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Is it just me, or...
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>
"Dalton McGuinty is willing to do backroom deals", he said.
</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
<strong>O RLY.</strong>
</p>
<p>
You might as well just break out your fetish gear and get it over
with, Hudak. Slashfic, anyone?
