Rick Mercer: Rick's Rant: Election Night

[Dupeo42]

I used to watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and feel smug about how none of the problems he was pointed out applied to me. Now I've started watching Rick Mercer and that illusion is shattered.

[supasaxplaya93]

I really wish that the politicians watched this. Seriously, would help so much.

Or better yet, WHY THE HELL HASN'T RICK MERCER TRIED TO RUN FOR PM!

[Snakebiteloo]

treating MPs like criminals? they ARE criminals

[lucy9359]

what a good idea the only problem being they will never let it happen

[Gdwmartin]

Sadly Rick it didn't, and still doesn't, do anything to improve the shenanigans at St. John's city hall. They've been on TV forever, had several changes in the line-up including a new mayor. They still act like a bunch of 4 year-olds.

[Spillithug2]

So true. MP's act like children.

[ApollosPlace]

Well said Rick! as always :)

[cullengurl30795]

i sooo agree, god i love you rick !

good points man, good points!

[physicsXgurl]

amen rick !!

[BoredomCorner]

This rant turned me onto The Mercer Report.

[GoshDarnHippies]

We're on cameras, why can't our MPs? It'll be entertaining to watch the guys who run this country look like 6 year olds at a party after drinking an entire liter of Coke each.

[thunderflash82]

Aww, come on Rick. If it weren't for the yelling our Parliament would be like the American house of representatives...bloody boring!

[GuyInvincible111]

thunderflash82: have you seen the British parliamentary debates? Brilliant sparring. Neither Tony Blair or George Galloway are boring.

Canadian MPs are loud and boring. As the Joker said in the Dark Knight, we need a better class of criminal.

[Peacenik]

yes... cameras are everywhere. why not use them to improve transparency in gov't?

[Vanessas1969]

RMR is the best thing on television today.

[sarniatownreggae]

Not with The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on it ain't! ;)

[t3hchardz]

relevant to canadian politics? =p

[sarniatownreggae]

When you say "the best thing on television today", you open yourself up to questioning. In that vein, Rick Mercer cannot match either Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.

[mendelbot]

Why would he try? They can't match a juggler either. Or a chess player. Or a russian wrestler. But you asked for it. The match doesn't only depend upon the ring.

[sarniatownreggae]

Huh? Make some sense next time you try and make a point!

[12v45g]

Stewart and Colbert suck, RIck Mercer is WAY better.

[sarniatownreggae]

You're a fucking no nothing idiot if you think that.

[12v45g]

I've watched them both, and they both suck, but Colbert is better. Stewart REALLY sucks.

[sarniatownreggae]

Like I said, you're a fucking idiot!

[TheTroubledTroubador]

Agreed
