This Day In Snookland...Return To MILF Island?

CouldAThousandTinaFeysPoundingAtAThousandTypewriters
ForAThousandYearsComeUpWithThisStuffVille


Remember back in December when our mandateless Premier and her coterie of press-bashing wizard monkeys forced a lowly shock-jock to take the fall for her joking around about MILFs and Cougars and such on a Comox Radio station after she, herself, had already joked around a few months earlier about Mr. Skin and strip poker in the Legislature with a different shock jock?

Well.

It turns out that Ms. Clark returned to the Comox Valley in late February and kept up the shock jockish talk, unassisted, during a stump-speech.

Ryan Parton had the story, which is now being wurlitzered around the majors, in the Comox Valley Business Gazette. Here is his lede and a little more:

Premier Christy Clark delivered a well-polished speech at Crown Isle (Restaurant in Courtenay) last Friday (Feb. 22), during which she soapboxed about delivering a balanced budget, helping BC families and growing the economy...

{snippety doo-dah}

...A seasoned orator, as well as a veteran of a talk radio business where controversy and titillation are king, Clark delivered what was surely the highlight of the presentation only a few minutes in. While struggling against a microphone that wouldn’t stay upright, she commented, “I’m not going to say it reminds me of my ex-husband.” The comment was met with laughs by all and the most raucous ovation of the afternoon...



Bizarre, no?

But, all joking aside, it really does appear that Ms. Clark's ex-husband, political spinmeister Mr. Mark Marissen, does, despite his long track record of wizardarious sword-wielding, seem to be in need, perhaps, of a little blue political pill these days if his recent performance on the Twittmachine feed is any indication.

Case in point, here he is doing his best to pump up his ex-wife in the wake of that second round of Iron Snowbird fluff-puffery from Preston Manning the other day...


And here is the retort of another wily ol' coyote pol who knows the futile, and dare we suggest it (but only because his ex-wife already did) flaccid, efforts of an over-the-hill spinmeister when he sees it...


Gosh.

After all that is there really any need to go into the matter of toga parties......spidery men from spidery planets....the Boyz....and/or potential consolations prizes for BC Rail trains going into and out of tunnels that may or may not have contributed to any later bouts of performance anxiety and/or politically expedient separations of stately manors?

Sheesh.

maybe what happens in Comox should have stayed in Comox?

RossK said...

Ha!

(unless, of course, there were toga parties...)

James King said...

D'you suppose Markie is still supporting his former paramour subsequent to her recent remarks (which made page A2 of the Times Colonist today) about flaccidity?

Lew said...

And Ben Chin used the mic later on to sing “MILF stands for Mark (or Marrisen) I’d Like to Forget.” Right…?

Any word from the Issinger brat about this horrible example of male bashing?

Seems that Ryan Parton's use of specific words, not so much "controversy" (because that is true) but "....titillation"??? with the Premier of British Columbia ...( was it another faux pas Sir Branson moment "naked water skiing") .... and then the phrase "struggling against a microphone that wouldn't stay upright" appears to be staged theatrics, all contributing to set the scene, setup the audience, using a faulty prop (unheard of with the GCPE at the helm), planned beforehand ???, to create a modern day version of a Burns And Allen comedy act... Smart guy Parton (supposedly), and the dumb broad Christy Clark (best known for her solo rendition: MILF) both skits, are a futile exercise in humour.

If the microphone is going to be used as a means of calibrating, comparing, two similar objects?????, Christy has clearly shown that she is incapable of thinkng on her feet. Staying as far away from Family matters... matters... to the public. We don't want to hear about her Son being used as a publicity prop, nor do we want to hear about her former husband..... as a prop.

If anything, the Microphone could have, should have, been used to compare HER popularity with her Former radio station, where it's a race to see which gets to the bottom first.

“I’m not going to say it reminds me of my ex-radio station."

It takes two to "tango" Christy. Using back handed comments to fill a dead space in air time probably wasn't the fault of either the microphone or your ex-husband. Deal with it. It's of your own making.

Quick someone call Diamond Isinger...

gee, that didn't make it into the Comox Valley Record or Echo? Wonder why not? Hd to be one of those little "independant" papers. Just like independant bloggers.

Maybe that is why we haven't seen our local MLA out in public. Of course you should remember this was being held at Crown Isle, one of those boys will be boys places. Crown Isle also benefitted the last time the lieberals (el gordo & Stan Hagen decided to sell off crow land) and the public lost valuable park land.

I like that.."Milf Island"

Does BC Ferries have a run to MILF island?

Or is that one of the ferry runs to be cut?

Cheers

JK--

The quoted article from the the most highly circulated Comox Valley Business Gazette is the source material for today's VTC bit.

____

Lew--

No word whatsoever.

Although, I'm surprised they haven't been screaming at the VTC for adding the term 'flaccid' to their sub-header.

Then again, I reckon there are legions of staffers who are doing their best to catch the approving eye of Boo Radler and minions.

______

NVG--

Well...If you go and read Mr. Partons full report, you will see that the audience surely got what Ms. Clark's bit was all about.

Clearly, this person is an opportunist, and that is a quality that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with one's gender.

_____

Anon--

It would appear that Ms. Isinger chose to focus exclusively on Iain Hunter's alleged sexist comments in his VTC piece today instead.

______
Thanks for the background e.a.f--

Interesting that their website doesn't appear to be operational today...Probably just a coincidence I'm sure.

______
Grant--

I really can take no credit...Like the subheader suggested it was an invention of Tina Fey and her writing staff.

As for transport to/from...I'm pretty sure that there are no ferries...Instead, it's all by chartered helijet...

Jeebuz, RossK.

This post had me alternating between disgust and guffawing.

Kinda up and down, ya' know? Not unlike Chipmunk Cheeks' ex's member according to her "too much information" radio spewing . . . .

Chetsty you bring out the best in mics and men.

karen said...

"Seasoned orator?" Do they even know the meaning of that word? Jesus. The woman couldn't orate her way out of a wet paper bag.

It cannot be May soon enough.

Does Christy do Yuk Yuk's?
