The Heroism of His Fearlessness

Our fearless leader is flying over to the very dangerous Beir… oh, no, the very much less dangerous Cyprus to personally rescue fellow Canadians who are stranded in Lebanon. With him are his wife, his staff, his photographer, his public relations team, his security detail and, I am guessing here, a few stewards and stewardesses. Whoever came up with this idea should be awarded the Order of Canada. His Fearlessness can, in one move, side step the always-menacing capital reporters and confront the man-eating Cypriot air traffic controllers to pick up maybe a quarter plane load of poor frightened displaced people. It is quite a magic trick to appear heroic while continues to run. It may be more efficient and cheaper to charter a couple of planes to pick up the people but there will be no photographer and no PR team. Maybe it is His Fearlessness’ hunting vest that came up with the idea; it must be thinking that all those empty pockets can be put to good use instead of just looking ridicules. Now, I am sure that the 60000 Canadians in the airport waiting room and cellars all over Lebanon looking at that giant plane taking off with 63 photogenic fellow evacuees will be impressed by the heroism of our leader and vote for him in the next election while enjoying their exciting Mediterranean vacation of indefinite length. Three cheers for Mr. Harper!
