Oh, Thats rich...

Paul Martin is apparently dead-set against "playing politics". Yes, you read that correctly - the man who feverishly politicked away, bribing opposition members with cabinet posts (and hints of cabinet posts to come), in order to preserve his feeble grip on power, is now above "playing politics". Of course, the next quote in the Globe article seems to contradict this lofty sentiment:

“It is very hard for me to understand why one would put in jeopardy the funding that we want to give to lower income families to protect them from the rising costs of fuel oil, it's hard for me to say that pensions for senior citizens should be put in jeopardy,” Mr. Martin said, responding to reporters' questions. "

Thats right...we are not playing politics here, but if those nasty opposition members go ahead and pull the rug out from under us, we just won't be able to go ahead with all our carefully planned out attempts to bribe you gullible voters with your own money. Thats right, those other scary parties want to piss all over the poor and old people we want to buy off before the next election. Heaven forfend that someone would dare "play politics"! Thats just unheard of!

I honestly wonder how Martin manages to keep a straight face when he is slinging this kind of crap...
