"Wake up sir, it's over."
"Wha-? Over? Right... finally. What did I miss?"
"Were you awake when he said he would continue the legacies of the Chretien-Martin governments?"
"Ha ha. That's a good one! He didn't really say that did he? I mean just because the rest of the country has forgotten about the sponsorship scandal doesn't mean that we won't remind them of that. Legacy indeed! No, I missed that part."
"How about the part where he said he plans on governing for the long term and get this... for the well being of our children and grandchildren."
"I feel like gagging. What pandering. So, if you're against Stephane Dion, you're against children and grandchildren? What rubbish."
"It's drivel."
"Tell me more."
"As expected, he's promising to reverse our cuts to their Green Project and he is almost coming right out and telling business that he will be generous, very generous to climate-friendly industry development."
"More pandering on the global warming front, as we suspected he would. No surprise there."
"That pretty much sums up his speech."
"That's it?"
"Afghanistan wasn't even mentioned once!"
"You're kidding!"
"I'm not. But how could he? The Chretien-Martin Legacy is as responsible for our troops being there as we are."
"You know where that leaves us for the election don't you?"
"Of course. Our platform will be on the long term for our soldiers in Afghanistan. Anybody who doesn't support us, doesn't support them. We'll show them the meaning of pandering."
