Paul Martin To Receive Keys To Privy
Nov 19, 2003

After 13 long years, the new Liberal leader of Canada and soon to be crowned messiah, Paul Martin, age 65 and balding had a smile on his face today. Prime Minister Jean Chretien says that Paul will be given the keys to the Prime Minister's washroom on December 12th.

Once Prime Minister Jean Chretien leaves office Paul will have full rights to the privy. Paul watch out to see if Jean doesn't steal the soap and toilet paper? He has been stealing Canadians and Americans blind for years. Now you know why George W. Bush wouldn't let Jean use any off the washrooms in the White House.

Even though Jean is departing he still wants one more free trip to Africa on December 8th for a meeting of leaders of the Commonwealth nations. The reason being is so that he will have enough air miles for a free cup and saucer. Jean did receive a handshake and a Mickey Mouse watch at the recent Liberal leadership convention in Toronto last week. However Jean felt it was not enough. After spending 10 years as Prime Minister Jean was hoping for something a little more substantial. Jean how about 10 dollars in Canadian Tire coupons.

Jean says we will be sorry when he leaves and Paul (all words, no brains) Martin takes office. We probably will but at least we can understand him. Now we will have to contend with Jean's twin brother Paul. I am sure Jean will still be controlling the country behind the scenes for a long time to come.

At least Jean will be able to start collecting his old age pension of a million dollars a week, plus expenses. Paul will just have to learn to live on a mere $200,000 a year.
