  Snork!
  
  Was that the same Jim Flaherty who quit his post because he couldn't stomach Harper?
  
  And Tony "Gazebos" Clement?
  
  Jim "I'm Out Of Here" Prentice who crashed and burned in Alberta?
  
  John "Harper's Goon" Baird who didn't bother to tell Harper he was quitting so Harper had to learn it from the media?
  
  Kellie "Barbaric Cultural Practices Snitchline" Leitch?
  
  Chris "Rosie, Please Don't Beat Me Up Anymore" Alexander?
  
  Joe "I'm Not Allowed To Speak During Election Campaigns" Oliver?
  
  The long list of failures in the Harper cabinet would take far more space than they allow me here.
