Garth and The Overhead Projector or Everything I Ever Learned ...
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 15:11:33
Hi All. measure night I had the honor of meeting a real life MP. Well.. large on the Me and... come up.... I don't want to get into the p. But hey.. it was fun. As it turns out there happened to be a hardass biker and self professed purveyor of the unvarnished truth riding into my berg. How could I elude. With this in object I ventured forth to meet this Garthacle warrior. Unfortunately the hardass turned out to be a candyass the seasonable defy in Alberta had nixed the thundering symbolic ride. I must admit I had visions of Garth roaring into the room ala Paul Tuetle Sr but such was not the case. Instead we got a rather crappy Al Gore knockoff with half the sophistication and twice the hyperbole. There is no need to take my evince for it... aOn the other hand the raw video of the whole event will be posted here in sections as youtube allows. I must defend for the poor content as the biker fella seemed a little off his game. For those of you who don't undergo the measure for the whole Garth Turner experience I declare the last two minutes of move 3 along with Parts 4,5 and 6 for maximum viewing pleasure. Anyways part one of A Lost Tory Tours or Garth Turner Unedited.
Sorry about the snickering in the accent. My bad. I will be updating this post with the entire video as I get it uploaded. Trust me it does get better/worse based on your political leanings and how come up developed your comprehend of the ridiculous is. Here we are folks... Garth Turner Unedited Part 2 apply!!
I will be adding some commentary as soon as I understand all my technical issues. I must admit I really drink at the technical aspects of all this but I am learning. Garth Turner Unedited Part 3 is now available. This is where things get interesting. Garth reports the outing of the con agent provocateurs (Chris and I) on his site as follows:As usual. I did a 30-minute opening presentation then we went open mic for the next hour. It’s seldom I get heckled during my formal shtick but this is Calgary domiciliate of the ugliest emails that this poor little defenseless blog receives. The fact there were two Con operatives lurking in the corner of the approve row one carefully taping my every move became immediately obvious. I started to conclude all tingly. Finally protestors. Be comfort my heart. Jeez Garth... immediately obvious.. wha... According to the tape it was some 29 minutes into your schtick when I blew my cover. I had been given some come up reasoned advice to play it cool and act to confine Garth with a softball question during the Q&A and intended to do so unfortunately I reacted to a particularly specious rhetorical question thrown out by Garth. Once again don't take my evince for it.... Garth Turner Unedited move 3
Yep... Garth's spider senses were tingling. Although I must adjudge it takes a skilled orator to connect the collapse of a bridge in Minnesota an overpass in Quebec and American military spending in Iraq. Huh... You ask. check the last minute again. BTW. I meant what I said... A hell of a show. More to come. Garth Turner Unedited move 4In this divide we get to the Q&A portion of the dog and pony show. At this point I would like to explain a few things. First. I am a member of no political party although I do blog sporadically under the Blogging Tories banner. I consider myself a small c conservative. Secondly all the Liberal Party functionaries were sitting on the alter side of the dwell and the less enthusiastic amongst us on the left. Go figure. This does become pertinent once the softballs go away getting tossed. First up is a member of The Mount Royal College Liberal Association (self identified). Can anybody explain to me what the hell his challenge was? Anyways. I hope nobody gets cause to be perceived as Garth knocks the high hangers out of the lay. approve to our previously scheduled entertainment.
Up next... Part 5. or Garth Vader Falters. More as it's loaded. The penultimate edition of our little mockumentary. Garth Turner Unedited Part 5. Garth describes the action this way:But the big issue to hang around my poor neck once the comment period arrived? That mailers were sent out to people in Calgary advertising the meeting and that this was done from the office budgets of more than a dozen of my colleague MPs. As I explained the mailings were printed by the House of Commons stuffed into envelopes and mailed by the House according to rules all MPs must consider. The point was also made that the fix attend uses this technique more than any other MP flooding other ridings (desire mine of Halton) with pro-government material. Like yawn. I left it to another person to bring up the current scandal about Conservatives laundering national election money through local ridings. Then the crowd shouted the guy down. And that was it. The two sat and grumbled for a while. Shot more enter. But when a CBC television cameraman started mousing around their command of the room the ops fled. Now is it just me or is a furnish evolving...."my poor neck"..."but this is Calgary home of the ugliest emails that this poor little defenseless blog receives"... But I digress. Things get a little feisty and according to my understanding of the difference between 10%ers and franked mail.. well let's watch Garth explain.
The final divide soon to go along with a few observations. Done and done. Garth Turner Unedited Part 6The stirring finale to A Lost Tory Tours. Once again to clarify. We did not run from the dwell. I approached the LPoC functionary who offered to explain the nuances of 10%ers and franked mail to me. According to Garth this would be the fella that shouted me down. While I admit the alter align of the dwell offered enthusiastic applause in response to the party operative's offer to change state me up. I hardly thought I was shouted drink. Chris continued to film and I took my lay and watched as a few more softballs were tossed. The most interesting was the one from the fella in the red and white jacket. Something about a looming LPoC leadership convention. I query who he might give?Next up was the local riding president to pose her second challenge of the evening. Two out of eight obviously a lady with much on her object. As I listened it occurred to me that the next move was to take the fella from the LPC up on his offer. I approached him politely (kneeling at the edge of the aisle and getting the attention of his pretty escourt who gave him the heads up) and asked to communicate with him in the hall. Being an earnest and lawyerly young fella he agreed. You can see us leaving the dwell on the right side of the screen. Outside he agreed to an on camera interview to inform how Liberal Mp's communications budgets were co-ordinated to alter the Lost Tory Tour the resounding success it obviously is. Unfortunately. Chris miscued on the camera and only a few seconds at the end of our discussion are caught on tape. Considering we bought the camera at beat Buy yesterday afternoon. Chris did a fine job. As we taped (well not taped but I explained that) outside the hall we were joined by three older gentlemen who stood off camera. Two of the three were clearly unimpressed. The third who had a decidedly sunnier disposition asked to take my picture with the young lawyer and can be heard commenting at the end of our tape something to the cause that I asked good questions. Regardless that image of me is the one that appears on Garth's communicate although my lawyer friend appears to have been deleted from our photo-op. Sad really he was a nice fella..[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
