In Canada there's a show produced by CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) which is a political satire show. One if its characters is "a showy woman with lotsa lipstick" who goes by the name "Marg Delahunty".
She went on to say that, apparently "Marg" wangled her way into a Barbie McLipSchmutz book signing . Here's what happened:
Comedian Mary Walsh’s beloved character button-holed the former Alaska governor at a recent book-signing in Columbus, Ohio, only to be strong-armed away from Palin by a cabal of security guards. [...]“We told her we’re from Canada, and we’re just looking for a few words of encouragement for the Canadian conservatives who have worked so tirelessly to destroy the socialized medicare that we have,” Walsh recalled Tuesday from St. John’s.
“Four huge big burly guys started pushing, and I pushed back, but I got her attention, and she told us to keep the faith, something like that, and said we’re all trying for the same thing.”
So Walsh and company got booted out, but they waited near Barbie's bus until she left the book store. Then Walsh yelled out:
“Hey, remember us, we’re the Canadians! We came all the way here from Canada!” Delahunty yelled. “When we asked you that question, we didn’t hear your answer.”Here's what Barbie said. Brace yourselves, it's classic Palin:
“Canada needs to dismantle its public health-care system and allow private enterprise to get involved and turn a profit.”
“Basically, she said government should stop doing the work that private enterprise should do,” Walsh said.
Walsh thought it was strange that Palin fans were not allowed to ask her any questions at the signing. Apparently Walsh wasn't around for Election 2008.
“We’re in a bookstore, at a public event, in a place one would think was a bastion of free speech. And no one was allowed to ask questions. What are they afraid of?”The answer is obvious: Someone would record/jot down/remember the disastrous answers. See: Interview, every.
Canadians are so naive sometimes. Wink.
