Believe it or not, a group of Parliamentarians even dumber than ours really exists!


Frankly I thought we had won this competition hands down, walking away earlier this month when our Members of Parliament wasted valuable governing time on the hot issue of whether Shane Doan should be captain of Canada’s hockey team in Russia.

A total waste of time that only portrayed a large number of our MP’s as childish, out of touch twits, who were apparently not in the loop as far as what Canadians were really concerned about.

But, what are you gonna do, you wait long enough and somebody comes along and takes your title.

Thanks to Poland’s elected officials, waste of time investigations are no longer the private preserve of Canada’s MP’s, in fact the latest obsession from Poland makes our crew look absolutely intelligent.

Poland’s government officials have recently ordered a psychological evaluation for Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubbie who frequently seems to find him/herself in the front of the line when it comes to controversy.

Fearful that the purple one may be promoting a homosexual lifestyle, Poland is apparently going to spend far too much time examining the television characters proclivities.

If the shrink says that Tinky Winky is a threat to the nation’s children, the Polish television will apparently be ordered to pull it from the air immediately, lest wayward children follow the character off into whatever peril Poland seems to think is lurking.

One must assume that things in Poland are going quite well these days, full employment, excellent health programs, educational standards are high and life is good, otherwise why in the world would they waste their time on this silliness.

Perhaps they didn’t notice, but so far, Tinky Winky is ahead on points when it comes to coming under attack. The Teletubbie once was forced to endure the harsh spotlight of the Reverend Jerry Falwell, who like the Polish government felt that Tinky Winky was leading young people astray.

Of course, while the Reverend has gone on to his reward, Tinky Winky still remains. The Polish political types might wish to keep that in mind should they continue on with the inquisition. Better yet, perhaps the psychologist may wish to branch out and maybe take on some new paitents, the governing class of 2007 might be a good place to start.
