"Is Stephen Harper stoned?"

That is the question my wife just asked me.

I was flipping through the channels and came upon CPAC, which is currently showing an interview with him. She took one look at him and asked the above question.

I think the question was funny although the answer is no. However, I see her point as he seems to have a glassy look in his eye tonight. I bet he is probably very happy the Fall session of Parliament is over.

Update: Just so you know my wife, unlike myself, hates politics and rarely pays attention to it. So her question is by no means a partisan shot, it was asked in all seriousness.

The answer, of course is no, but I still had a good chuckle at the question?

It's called the "Deer in the Headlights" look. The studio lights are so brutal the eyes over-react causing them to glass over in defence.

As far as getting "stoned" goes, maybe Prime Minister Harper should loosen up a little, he has quite the sense of humor when evoked.

He bagged that whacked out CBC socialist Rick Mercer didn't he?

Reeled him right in.

And he came across much better than that socialist,turned liberal wanna be Bob Rae.

At least part of him was lily white.
