Hyperbole

[c9]

While it's an accurate description of the Liberal Party's approach to maintaining power, it's still maybe just a bit excessive:

"We have to start thinking that Hannibal Lecter is running the government and they'll do anything they have to do to win." --Peter MacKay, deputy Tory leader

In Martin's defence, I think even he would draw the line at eating a member of the opposition.

And by that same analogy, Stephen Harper is Jeffrey Dahlmer? A sociopath with a cabinet full of pricks!

It's really unwise for MacKay to start comparing politicians to serial killers... I mean, have you looked at Harper lately? He creeps me out.

Then again, maybe that's exactly what MacKay was going for. First the football thing, now this... with friends like this, who needs enemies?
