Most Annoying Liberals - 2004
A lot of people seem to be producing this list, so I'll provide a Canadian version of a Top 5. There's so many "obvious" choices, but I feel sorry for most of them (Carolyn Parrish, Paul Martin, Jack Layton, Dozens of Democrats down in America), so I don't consider them as annoying as the people I actually chose.
1) Joe Clark: For me at least, he'll be number one on this list for the rest of his life. For someone who I've never met, I've never been annoyed by anyone quite as much. His "devil we know" comments rank him as Number One, for this year at least. I'm sure he'll find another way of helping out the Liberals in the next election, so he should be number one on the list next year too.
2) Judy Sgro: For being so darn arrogant during the past month by accusing her critics of criticizing her because they're "against immigration". This is actually how some prominent Liberals think. They have no moral or logical reason to be in politics, so they convince themselves that the opposition is "against immigration" and all sorts of other scary things.
3) The "Pro-Choice" crowd from the June election: Went so overboard that they seemed less and less "for choice" from what I saw, and more and more "for abortion". I don't usually say something that harsh, but that was basically an invented issue back in June, and the logic and arguments they used to attack Harper were so disingenuous and pathetic. His only "acceptable" response, according to much of the media was to say that he favoured abortion entirely, and that he would FORBID his MPs from being pro-life. Why else would they react in horror when some Conservative MPs were found addressing pro-life rallies? He said everything just short of what was expected (to get elected), and he was villainized for it.
4) Anne Mclellan: I saw her on CBC a couple days ago speaking about terrorism. She talked about how 9/11 had a different impact in Canada and America, and how since a few years had passed since 9/11, Canadians should probably re-evaluate the "severity" of their security and terrorism laws. Ahhhh... just the way she was saying it. As if there was no chance of Canada becoming a target, and as if there was no obligation to assist the Americans by being vigilant and tough on security issues. She seems to have no understanding about her portfolio whatsoever.
5) Scott Brison: Should be put in the Joe Clark camp I suppose, except he doesn't seem as stupid, nor does he seem as socialist. He's annoying only because he was so disingenuous about his reasons for joining the Liberals. Naturally, he couldn't say he joined for "power", but he didn't have to use the fact that he was gay as a reason to leave the Conservatives, especially considering that he knew that it wasn't an issue with a Conservative caucus.
