My Buddy and Me, Billy C.

"Navel Gazing," Burnaby-Douglas Liberal candidate Billy Cunningham's inane, official campaign blog has reached new depths. His January 6 post includes the following paragraph:

My buddy Scott is coming out for a community event and to do some door-knocking with me tomorrow. Outside of an election, I would have to call him Minister Scott Brison, but at this particular moment, we are both candidates looking to earn every vote we can. Scott was through Burnaby earlier this summer at an event we had at Burnaby Lake and he promised then that he would come out again to help us during the election. The one big thing Scott and I have in common, is our outlook on politics: we are both young, progressive, and lean heavily to the fiscal side of the Liberal spectrum. (I also hear that he is willing to Karaoke from time to time, but I'm quite certain that I would put him to shame on that front)

Not bothering the mention that he forgot to end the paragraph with a period, or an exclamation mark, the "Liberal insider" candidate provides an excellent opportunity to link to a page about a toy the youngsters used to play with awhile back, My Buddy. (Do you have the "My Buddy and Me" jingle stuck in your head yet?)

A few days earlier, the blog shows a photo of a bus ride. That picture shows a great action shot of former BC Liberal riding association president Ib Petersen looking into Billy Cunningham's mouth in search of his uvula (yes, boys have uvulas too). There has not been a rumour as of yet that Cunningham's uvula had worn away from all his fast talk, but again this provides an opportunity to make reference to former Liberal candidate Kwangyul Peck of missing fingerprints fame.
