“They lay one egg (each year). They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement. … They flap their wings very hard and they work like hell.

“This seems to me a symbol for what our party should be.”

Words escape me.

PBoilermaker on August 30, 2007 at 10:32 PM

So he is in favor of the liberal party having the illlusion of always being busy but accomplishing only one good thing a year, and being adept at hiding thier dirty secrets. Sounds about right I guess.

Resolute on August 30, 2007 at 10:34 PM

No, that’s about right. Liberals are good at hiding their excrement.

techno_barbarian on August 30, 2007 at 10:34 PM

Hmmm… and since when do liberals have strong family values???

this guys seems a bit confused…

Romeo13 on August 30, 2007 at 10:34 PM

They lay one egg (each year). They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement.

My first thought: Congress.

amerpundit on August 30, 2007 at 10:36 PM

They hide their excrement….


Now that sure explains everything.

Poopie policies of Harry Reid revealed.

Do you want me to continue?…

I could make an all niter out of this…..
..and it sure is tempting…

But I digress, back door policies here at HA notwithstanding.

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 10:37 PM

amerpundit on August 30, 2007 at 10:36 PM

Congress lays far more than 1 egg per year though. And the shit’s everywhere.

lorien1973 on August 30, 2007 at 10:41 PM

Is this the final exit for HA into the tabloids?

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 10:42 PM

Oh G!d and its on Canadian news site,
bragging liberals,I think I’m going to
find a rock to crap under.

charmed by the birds during what was supposed to be a whale-watching tour for Liberal caucus

It’s like what a kitten sees when something shiny passes in front of it.

Kini on August 30, 2007 at 10:43 PM

Good Lord, I’m embarrassed to be Canadian. That’s just stupid.

Stop Global Warming!

The puffin has been found to be a major contributor to Global Warming, expert scientists say, and could be potentially more harmful then the super scary dis-information campaign headed by Bushy McHitler and his Halliburton military junta.

By burying their excrement instead of recycling it in an earth friendly way the puffin shows it’s contempt for the settled science of AGW, or in this case PGW.

There has been some speculation inside the Beltway that Vice President Cheney meet with a delegates of puffins and extolled them to continue their primitive waste managment. He claimed that the recycling of puffin excrement would harm our economy as high paying recycling jobs would be stolen from the American worker and exported to their Canadian counterparts.

Once again, the evil repugnicant’s, lead by Sith Lord Cheney, have sought to do irreparable harm to our precious environment.

Liberal deputy leader Michael Ignatieff says the industrious little seabird…that exemplifies Liberal values.

Yes, yes. Because when I think of liberal values, I think of the industrious soul. Is there a bird out there that eats their own? If so, then I think we have something.

Weight of Glory on August 30, 2007 at 10:53 PM

VolMagic on August 30, 2007 at 10:50 PM

Between the puffin not recycling their poop, moose farts, Nancy Pelosi blaming her dog Reid, Al Gore’s Son driving 100 miles an hour and Paris Hilton finding God, there is no hope for the world.

Time to cash in our chips, life is for the birds.

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 10:56 PM

“They lay one egg (each year). They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement. … They flap their wings very hard and they work like hell.

Now see this cant be US Liberals

For one they constantly lay eggs with their legislation
Another thing is they dont hide their excrement they pretend that they dont (sh)it like normal people
and finally they dont work hard other than squaking that life is so unfair that there are so many different birds and that some birds are more equal than others

William Amos on August 30, 2007 at 10:59 PM

Hrm…this is not a Larry Craig story.

I’m somewhat confused about this post. Is Larry Craig Canadian?

Asher on August 30, 2007 at 11:01 PM

Rick Mercer on the liberals.

Slublog on August 30, 2007 at 11:02 PM

They flap their wings traps very hard and they work lie like hell.

That’s better.

infidel4life on August 30, 2007 at 11:13 PM

What do puffins taste like?

Not hidden excrement one hopes.

profitsbeard on August 30, 2007 at 11:13 PM

Is Larry Craig Canadian?

Asher on August 30, 2007 at 11:01 PM

The pooper he was sitting on in MN, is most likely made in Canada.
And while sitting and since then he has made some real poopy moves…..so the answer is most likely yes he will be campaigning in Canada.

Does that answer your question?

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 11:14 PM

Howard Deans campaign mascot is a puffin.

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 11:15 PM

Liberal deputy leader Michael Ignatieff says the industrious little seabird — with its black and white plumage, distinctive striped beak and orange feet — is a “noble” creature that exemplifies Liberal values.

He forgot to mention the Yellow streak down it’s back.

Snerk. I try not to be embarrassed by being Canadian, but man, it’s hard when stuff like this happens.

We’ll always have Gretzky, I guess.

mjk on August 30, 2007 at 11:18 PM

The reason why Howard Dean’s Face gets all red is because he has to hide all his poopie diapers.

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 11:18 PM

Puffins are indignant.

Entelechy on August 30, 2007 at 11:21 PM

Al Gore’s very latest global warming solution: recycle his “puffin bird poop” for use on our indoor peace flowers.

Peace brother \ /.

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 11:26 PM

Bob’s Kid on August 30, 2007 at 10:47 PM

I hope they weren’t poopie words.

Puffins – Clowns of the Sea

“You should have been there to see the Puffins! We were watching them from the ship and there must have been a hundred of them in the water. They were diving for fish. One of them had so many fish in his mouth that as he was taking off, he could hardly get airborne. He just scooted along the surface of the water like a motorboat for awhile…”

Family and the Future
During breeding season, an adult Puffin’s bill becomes bright orange and yellow colors.

Arriving at the shore, they may spend a few days still in the water, congregating with others and possibly locating their mate whom they may not have seen since last year.

http://birding.about.com/od/birdspuffins/a/puffinclowns.htm

Yup just like liberals to fall in love with a bird that spends half of it’s time gone from home, away from it’s mate, barely connects to the continental United States and is formally called a clown.

I think the Elephant wins out on a number of levels.

That’s offset a bit by Celine Dion. :-)

Slublog on August 30, 2007 at 11:39 PM

Now I understand why Fred Thompson has been so slow in announcing his official announcement……

Uhmm um… If you know what I mean…. needless to say it took awhile.
The huffin puffin can never be Fred’s mascot so he’s been trying figure out.. uh..um.. shall we say… how to get rid of the door plug.

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 11:40 PM

Nuff said!

mjkazee on August 30, 2007 at 11:47 PM

Are we sure this isn’t from the Onion or Pravda? What are the 3 liberals in the photo that goes with this story laughing about?

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 11:26 PM

Actually, Gore better not get wind of this or he may be inspired to raid Puffins nests and gather all that Puffin dung as an alternative fuel source which he can then sell as part of his carbon trading schemes.

I can just see the logo with a cute little Puffin enticing us to convert to “Puffin Power”.

Buy Danish on August 30, 2007 at 11:51 PM

Hey this is great! How many times will this come back to bite the Liberals own ass?

Hide their excrement? What the hell was Ignatieff thinking? LOL!

Mcguyver on August 30, 2007 at 10:37 PM

C’mon, if you’re going to call yourself Mcguyver, and talk about guano, you need the more obvious spelling of nitre.

As well as throwing in sulfurous claims, and perhaps discussing charcoal cooking… wait, I have an idea.

Ok, maybe I’m the only person who double checked the spelling there.

gekkobear on August 31, 2007 at 12:04 AM

Buy Danish on August 30, 2007 at 11:51 PM

Too late!!
Hot Air’s climate change balloon’s are already en route to Al Gore’s house for carbon credit reporting.

gekkobear on August 31, 2007 at 12:04 AM

Although we’ve chiefly been talking Canadian poop here’s the definition.

If that doesn’t work for you try this.

Mcguyver on August 31, 2007 at 12:12 AM

I wonder if that bird has a wide stance

Spirit of 1776 on August 31, 2007 at 12:42 AM

They put their excrement in one place.

Yea, they wear it on the sleeve that doesn’t have their heart on it, and then alternate shoving one sleeve and then the other into your face, lecturing, until you cave in.

They hide their excrement.

Yea, behind their backs until they can sneak up on another unsuspecting victim and hit them with their absolutisme du jour.

eeyore on August 31, 2007 at 1:01 AM

Nothing says ‘liberal’ like excrement.

Kevin M on August 31, 2007 at 6:16 AM

Wasn’t Andrew Sullivan trying to “rebrand” his own curious sort of (non)conservatism into something called the “Eagle Party?”

Sounds rather fitting…

greenonions on August 31, 2007 at 7:44 AM

Puffin? I thought that was the libertarians.

(I keed. I keed.)

Tanya on August 31, 2007 at 9:55 AM

Here’s video. It’s even funnier.

For the Canadians out there, what are some of the benefits of dating a Liberal? All of envelopes of money left around the apartment.

Canadian Infidel on August 31, 2007 at 10:56 AM

While we’re on great Liberal Canadian quotes:

“A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof is a proof? A proof is a proof and when you have a good proof, it’s because it’s proven.”

Chretien

Canadian Infidel on August 31, 2007 at 10:58 AM

Icelanders eat puffins and use their beaks as decorations. I’m all for a puffin sandwich right about now.
