Carolyn Parrish is at it again. Last year the Mississauga MP raised a ruckus by declaring "Damn Americans ... I hate those bastards." A few months ago she followed that up by calling Duyba "war-like" and expressed astonishment that he was re-elected. Now there's a stink because of a skit she performed on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes".
In the skit, which airs tomorrow, Parrish stomps on a Dubya doll. With only twelve days to go before Dubya makes his first official visit to Canada, this act by an MP has some people concerned it could further damage relations between us.
I think it's much ado about nothing. "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" is a comedy program, it's not "The National". Anyone with a half-decent sense of humour would crack a smile and not think twice about it.
It seems everything is being taken too seriously these days and everything is offending someone. That "Desperate Housewives" skit that opened Monday Night Football was a piece of harmless fun too and they're still talking about it.
Stop this world, I want to get off!
