Amongst the 1st things
#CandiceBergen did as new "Conservative" party interim leader was to say the following to her senior MPs:

“I don’t think we should be asking them to go home. I understand the mood may shift soon. So we need to turn this into the PMs problem."

#StephenHarper *praised* her leadership. Are we going to pretend Canada's "Conservative" party hasn't embraced EXTREMISM from head to toe?

#EdgarBergen was one of the greatest #ventriloquists who ever lived. He created a dummy for his act named #CharlieMcCarthy.

Charlie could get away with spicy jokes that were off limits for other entertainers in the #1920s and #1930s.

When Bergen died he left $10,000 to Charlie in his will. He left nothing to his daughter #CandiceBergen. (That's right, #MurphyBrown!)
