Canada's New Government got real old real fast, didn't it? Kinda like Stephen Harper's rapidly falling IQ. That's right, extensive research conducted by Muffley&Associates, research which involved tracking the daily comments of newspaper columnists and those supposedly in the know, discovered that the word "intelligent" has all but disappeared from the lexicon used to describe Mr. Harper.

Prior to the first prorogation of parlaiment, it was indeed common -if not de rigeur- for columnists such as The Globe's Jeffery Simpson and Lawrence Martin as well as The Star's James Travers, to describe the Prime Minister as "intelligent but controlling" or "intelligent but unwilling to compromise". Not so anymore. The word "intelligent" -even when qualified- simply is not used to describe Stephen Harper.

Muffley&Associates cannot offer any definitive answer as to why this is except to say the reason lies in one or the other of two explanations: 1) Mr. Harper used to be intelligent but his IQ has fallen in inverse proportion to the rise of pundit expectations or2) Mr. Harper was never very bright in the first place but his bullshit baffled the brains of the pundits.

Now, as Mr. Harper enters what Muffley&Associated have identified as his Nixonesque Period, it remains to be seen who in government will assume the role of G. Gordon Liddy, Chief Watergate Spook and talkshow nutbar. Muffley&Associates believe strongly this important position will be handed to Rick (The Blank Slate) Norlock, former spook and eternal unknown quantity.
