PM Stephen Harper plays piano, sings a Beatles tune at National Arts Centre gala

Best musical performance by a politician since Clinton played the sax on Arsenio Hall

And Bill didn't get to play with Yo Yo Ma.

Poor Steve's gonna need more than "A Little Help from My Friends" to get a majority in the next election

But did he pocket the sheet music?

(He's a pretty decent singer, I'll give him credit for that.)

 

If an American politician, specifically an American President, were to sing that song in a public forum, the next day's news would be whether he was suggesting that he uses drugs.

 

Sean Hannity and Glen Beck's heads would explode as they played the clip non-stop. (And I'm a Republican)

 

I thought it was great. Far, far better than Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan duetting on "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling."

Coming up next - Michael Ignatieff sings "Mr. Roboto."

 

Doesn't he have better things to do, like fix the economy? [/cry of the liberals]

 

I would have expected "I Am The Walrus," "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey," or "Happiness Is A Warm Gun."

 

Don't you mean Liberals?

 

My question is, if he stays true to the song, what friends of his were helping him get high? and on what?

 

I wanna know why he has to keep looking at the keys. The Prime Minister should be perfect and not even need sheet music.

 

Like with most things Steve does, not very subtle.

Sure sign an election is coming to a country near you.

Still, you gotta hand it to the guy. Big diff between standing up and giving a speech and this.

It's not exactly the same as karaoke at The Goose.

But as I'm sure much to your chagrin, things would point to another Conservative minority.
