The Neo-Conservative Comedy Hour Comes to Calgary

I can understand people going to hear an address by Bill Clinton or Henry Kissinger or even Tony Blair (gag) but Calgary has its own idea of political luminaries.

George W. Bush is coming to Calgary to tell 1,500 eager Amerophiles all about the great achievements of his eight years in the White House. The Bush address is to take place some time between the main course and dessert.

Geoff Pradella of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce is optimistic of a good turn out for Shrub, ""We've had what I would describe as a pretty favourable response so far."

I wonder how many Con MP's & maybe even Harper himself will be there? Something to keep an eye on.

I'd be astonished if Harper gave into impulse and attended. He'd be terrified of offending Obama and, when it comes to guts, we all know that Harper always folds.
