I'm just sayin' ...


Shorter Harper Youth: "In these trying times of crippling economic crisis, it's important that we immediately address the paramount issue of abolishing the $1.95 per vote public financing, since nothing -- and we mean nothing -- can be allowed to take priority over such a fiscally critical issue."

(Time passes ...)

Shorter Harper Youth: "Can you believe the opposition is prepared to bring down the government over such a petty, trivial, meaningless, unimportant issue as the $1.95 per vote public financing? God, talk about small-minded welfare whiners."

Did I get that about right?

Pretty much. The "Time passes.." event could be described as "two or three minutes." Harper Youth contradict each themselves quite often within the same sentence. We've all come across the "I can't believe Harper would do something as outrageous as what you're accusing him of, but if it is true, who cares anyway?" formulation often enough.

The correct analogy would be:

"Your Honour, my client can't possibly be guilty of the murder because he wasn't there, and even if he was, it was an accident and, besides, that son-of-a-bitch had it coming to him."
