Conservative MP Peter Braid is dressed down and upbraided on CTV (YouTube)

Conservative MP lies, backtracks and almost cries on cTV's Power Play on Feb. 3, 2010.
Peter Braid, MP for Kitchener-Waterloo, gets "upbraided" by Bob Rae, Tom Clark, Paul Dewar and his own lack of logic while defending his party's latest batch of ten-percenters.

1. Ooooh, Harper's not going to let that guy open his mouth on TV ever again...

Hee!

Seriously, do you not have a brain, Braid? I saw no evidence that he has any thinking ability at all - he might as well have announced up front that he was only authorized to repeat the talking point over and over, regardless of the turns the discussion took or the questions he was asked.

If the Cons want to have someone spitting talking points in what is supposed to be a debate, they should at least find someone who is a bit charismatic, or at least is too stupid to realize they aren't answering the questions, so they can spew talking points with a confident smile. (Sarah Palin is a master at this.)

I loved Dewar pointing out (correctly) that Braid sounded defeated and like he didn't really want to be defending the 10 percenter.

2. Either that or he'll give him a cabinet post for staying on message

The rest of us win in any case. ;)

he talks of having it both ways, yet he offers comments on the substance of something he admits he has not read.
