We know how to poke fun at ourselves - and take it

I was just watching the Rick Mercer Report from Tuesday night. Say what you will about our Prime Minister (no - this isn't an invitation to rant about the Liberals), but I think it's very cool that he appears on the show and goes with Rick to Canadian Tire to shop for plastic to seal his drafty windows at 24 Sussex Drive (the Prime Minister's residence for those of you not familiar with Canadian politics). Only in Canada would the leader of the country agree to participate in a program that already is quite known for poking a lot of fun at politicians. Seriously, would George Bush go on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? Ummm............... I'm thinking not.
