The Three Stooges

So, Allan Gregg has decided that Little Stephen is actually Big Mo.

The survey by the Strategic Counsel puts Mr. Harper's party in the lead over the Liberals by two percentage points for the first time in this campaign and indicates he also has a huge lead, even in Quebec, when voters are asked who has the momentum going into the Jan. 23 election.

"This is really interesting that this is occurring right on the eve of the debate," said Allan Gregg, chairman of the Strategic Counsel, which conducted the poll for The Globe and Mail and CTV News.

You got that?

Forget who people actually say they are going to vote for because Mr. Gregg, who we see as Larry in this scenario, doesn't want anything to do with that.

After all, actual voting preferences are essentially well within the margin of error of the poll.

Instead, Larry decides to make sweeping conclusions based on who voters tell him has the 'momentum', as if that means anything at all.

Which it doesn't.

Unless, of course, it gets published on the front page of the nation's so-called paper of record where it can entice hordes media dingbats to hop on the Whirlitzer of the Push Poll.

And for that we can only conclude that Globe and (nolongerEmpire)Mail editor Edward Greenspon gets to be Curly.

We out here in Left Coast Canuckistan are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing given the stunt was that was pulled on us by two-thirds of the Stooges last spring when we were told the BC LINO (Liberal In Name Only) Party had a non-existent 13 point lead just days before the Provincial election.
