noah's ark

An article today in the Ottawa Citizen has this quote from Harper

Harper’s platform speech was billed as the most important of the campaign, but he might want to think about firing his analogy writer. “As the saying goes, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. Which is why, when the rain came, Noah didn’t need to panic and he didn’t switch boats,” Harper said. He stopped short of saying that, like Noah, God speaks to him.

Seriously? Noah’s Ark?! That’s the image he wants to impose.

as brebis noire pointed out

“Any leader who brings up Noah’s ark at a time like this not only has an empathy deficit, but a deficit in political instincts as well.
Noah saved his family and two reps from every species. Everybody else drowned.”

Well at least we now know what his platform is.
