A Team of Syphilitic Monkeys

Iggy wants to select the Puffer as the symbol for the Liberal Party.

This is not from The Onion:

"It's a noble bird because it has good family values. They stay together for 30 years," Mr. Ignatieff said, adding that the bird is an industrious creature that embodies Liberal values. "This seems to me a symbol for what our party should be."

The MP and philosopher also added that "they lay one egg [each year]. They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement. ... They flap their wings very hard and they work like hell," according to a report from The Canadian Press.

And this man almost became Leader of the Opposition. The team of syphilitic monkeys at the Liberal party must have been working overtime to come up with this.
