I’m surprised they let me drive a car, frankly 

I only have 9 letters at the end of my name (LL.B, B.J. Hons.), so I bet Kellie Leitch thinks I’m mentally defective, pretty much.

To wit:

Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch is on a crusade against the elites. But it’s not going well for her, and all those letters after her name are partly to blame.

The Prince Arthur Herald has obtained an audio clip of Leitch berating a Conservative Party supporter and using her titles to show her intelligence. Partway into a discussion at an event with young Conservative Party members in Montreal on Thursday evening, Leitch responds to criticism by proclaiming:

“Please understand that I do have 22 letters at the end of my name, I’m not an idiot.”

Her parliamentary profile reads her official title as The Hon. Dr. K. Kellie Leitch, P.C., O.Ont., M.D., M.B.A., F.R.C.S.(C)

There are actually 16 letters after her name. Including “the Hon. Dr.” before her name brings the total to 24.

Please God, please God, make the Cinservatives elect her leader, so Liberals are in power until Justin Trudeau is getting the seniors’ discount at Shoppers. Please.

    Holy shit, she is so conceited!

    Ben Carson has a few letters attached to his name too, soooo….

    Perhaps even better than the good doctor’s inability to count to 24 is the fact her declaration came during a discussion of abolishing the Indian Act in which she displays a shocking ignorance of Canadian constitutional law…

    He: I’m not an idiot, you know. After all, I do have 16 letters after my name.
    She: That’s fine, but I have 18 letters after my name.
    He: Oh!
    She: Well?
    He: Okay! You’re probably right. I’ll order pepperoni, mushroom and onion.

  4. cynical says:

    Perhaps she’d like to count the periods as letters. You never know.

    Oh, Kellie, don’t be so shy. Don’t forget your S.O.B.

  6. Al says:

    Are we not padding the count by having DR in front of the name and MD after?

  7. Lynn says:

    It appears that the folks at The Beaverton have had some fun with her letters behind her name and her attitude; rightly so.

    Alphabet Kellie….never has been, and never will be elite….she said so.

    Kellie’s assertion was that she has 22 letters after her name so she is not an idiot. Question — Is having 22 letters after your name and being an idiot mutually exclusive ? Says Who? – What do you call someone who (partially) abandons a profession that they have spent years on and are eminently qualified for to apply for a job for which they have no skills or talent ? She is a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon and she is not doing this so she can be a really bad politician? Huh.

    .. the Kellie’s clinching statement was that she had done a lot of thinking on the matter.. and I found it was some sort of weird she she wrapped her screech off with ‘so that at the end of the process the people will be full’ – Has anyone been able go decipher this stange code? Kouvalis? Kenney? Peter Van Loan, who it seems ‘dated her’ ? Mebbe Van Loan can help.. Is ‘the people will be full’ kinda like making Duffy ‘whole again’? (we all know now what that entails & ending well aint one of the options)

    This proves that is possible to be highly educated and simultaneously stupid beyond belief.

    Again, we have seen this movie before, and quite recently. Ignatieff. Immensely qualified as an academic, but very meager political skills. Leitch. Immensely qualified as a surgeon and medical educator, but very meager political skills. The Halo Effect. Politics looks easy. It isn’t. Being good at one profession does not make for excellence in other professions.
