Rick Mercer's Best Rant Yet

I was going to give the NDP and Liberal parties their new talking points for the next six weeks, but they're busy ousting leaders and yapping like Jack Russell terriers and whatnot.

Instead, here is Rick Mercer's take on the political shenanigans.

Just one highlight of many quotable quotes:

With leaders like this, we shouldn't be blamed for asking, "Why bother?"

Rick Mercer is like Jon Stewart, only smarter, funnier, and more Everyman, without a trace of irony. On his weekly political humour show, he does a "rant" in the alleys near the studio. It's one shot, the camera is tilted for a little extra artsy flair, and the commentary itself is articulate and pointed.

Much like this essay. Go, Rick.
