The Hand that Blocks the Bill is the Hand that Creeps Me Out

Harper at a Rally, from cbc.ca, originally uploaded by haileydai.

I'm not a fan of the old Harpsies. Besides his general creepiness (which will apparently be remedied by his appearance at a number of BBQs around the country this summer [and he'd better not show up in my backyard]) I was disgusted by his appearance at and involvement in an anti-gay-marriage rally in April (see image).

Now, Prime Minister Paul Martin is saying that Harper, leader of the opposition, is the one holding the reigns on the timing of the same-sex marriage bill that is currently being debated by the federal government.

They (the conservatives) even tried a bit of political bribery by offering to pass the budget amendment bill if the government took the same-sex marriage bill off the table until the fall. Nice try guys. Paul Martin would have none of it, but at the same time, seems to be dodging the issue by claiming it's all in Harper's hands.

I just got cold shivers thinking about Harper's hands. *shudder*
