TIM HUDAK HECKLES THE L.G.

You know, maybe it’s just me. But I have to say that it’s pretty unseemly to see an aspiring Premier heckling the Queen’s representative in the Ontario Legislature. Showing up late, then giggling like a schoolboy.

Stay classy, Little Timmy.

Right to left: Little Timmy, Unidentified Reformatory political welfare recipient, Elizabeth Witmer, and Little Timmy's policy muse, Fred Flintstone.

UPDATE FROM SHARP-EYED READER! Hi Warren, I believe that Christine Elliott is in the photo. Not Elizabeth Witmer. You are probably used to seeing her with a lawn gnome. Catherine

    Wait, in the THRONE SPEECH?

    Check for the telltale slot in the back of Wayne’s jacket and the iron-on patch that says “THIS PUPPET BELONGS TO __RANDY__”

    I don’t think Tea Party tactics will work in the land of Red Rose.

  3. Chris says:

    Tim Hudak should go back to working at Wal-Mart.

    I witnessed this too. Schoolboy pranks, how pathetic. If they don’t have any respect for our L.G. and our democratic institutions, you can be very sure that they will not have any respect for the People of Ontario – just like Mike Harris. Michael S. is right, it’s now the Randy Party.

  5. James Bow says:

    That’s pretty classless.

  6. Ah so classy indeed.

    Honestly, I understand the Question Period heckling, although Hudak is often over the top there too, but to the Crown’s representative? That is just inappropriate. Tim Hudak has no respect tor decorum in the legislature, and he wants to be Premier? He would be an embarrassment to this province.

  7. Russ says:

    And Tim Hudak wants to be the next Premier of Ontario?

  12. [...] I ran into blogger extraordinaire Warren Kinsella at the legislature and note that he has reprimanded Tim Hudak for heckling the Lieutenant Governor. I did not have a good view of Hudak, but did hear [...]

    Hudak is a stereotypical con neanderthal
