TORONTO – Shit From Hell, Canada’s best-loved geriatric punk combo, is entering the studio to record a song to raise funds for the purchase of the “Rob Ford smoking something illicit” video.

“If it helps to drive that bumbling oaf from office, we deserve the Nobel Prize for the Arts,” said bassist Winkie.

Guitarist Ritalin Boy agreed. “Apparently, he isn’t called the pride of EtobiCOKE for nothing.”

Drummer Davey Snot added: “This guy has turned Toronto into Moronto. He’s Onterrible!”

The loveable punk moptop trio have pledged to donate all proceeds from the recording to the Gawker crowd funding effort underway to purchase the now-infamous (but still unseen) video. Any excess will be used to pay off their ex-wives.

Shit From Hell is a Toronto punk band. Their last LP was “Why Do You Hate Me?” and is coincidentally available on iTunes. Their average age is 96, and they hate everyone.

Now that he’s seen as (a) responsible for bringing down Nigel Wright, who every Ottawa Conservative admired and liked, and (b) whipping the Press Gallery into a Tory-hating frenzy, Mike Duffy’s political life isn’t worth a plug nickel.

Heretofore, Duffy needs to sleep with one eye open, and a gun under his pillow. What Harper did to Mulroney with the Schreiber thing is nothing compared to what Harper is going to do to him, now.

It is going to be very, very ugly.

That’s a word I never, ever thought I’d see appended to Nigel Wright’s name: scandal. We don’t know each other, but we sort of know each other. Long story.

Anyway: it’s been a shocker, this mess. And now it’s claimed a guy who I thought scandal could never touch.

…or Taiwanese TV, in any event.  Watching this, I am reminded (among other things) of how we have the world’s best media.

But the shot at Toronto voters at the end?  It’s funny, but also true.

H/T J. Tetreault!

…no one’s got it, yet.  But there’s a few million people who’d like to see it, following this (who broke the story) and this (who sat on the story, for weeks) and this (who wish they’d had the story) and this (who, like the rest of the world, think we are only “world class” in the “stupid electorate” category).

Until it makes its debut – and it will, unless one of Ford’s well-heeled backers gets to it first, to suppress it – we’ll have to make do with some pictures from the recent past (And a video! and a spread sheet!).  Like many pictures, they tell us we shouldn’t really be so surprised.

(Oh, and don’t forget: this shows that Justin Trudeau is in over his head!)

(Oh, and I’d say some folks owe Sarah Thomson an apology right about now.)

Because his team won, that’s why.  From my pal Mertl:

“The B.C. Liberals are a free-enterprise coalition of federal Liberal and Conservative supporters. Clark hails from the Liberal wing but got impressive support from federal Tories, including former ministers Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl.

Kinsella told Yahoo! Canada News he thinks the B.C. Liberals are “for all intents are purposes, the provincial arm of the federal Conservatives.”

Great assessment by Josh Wingrove, done right, right here.
