bad actor playing a bad part

Best piece of Canadian election analysis I’ve read, courtesy of Warren Ellis:

Doesn�t Stephen Harper look like the kind of actor a US or US-but-produced-in-Canada TV show uses as the bad guy when they can�t afford a British actor? . . .

You know the kind of guy. Grey hair, so white you can practically see through his skin into his circulatory system, with the kind of unblinking half-glower that lets you know that no matter what he�s talking about, he�s actually thinking about shoving pregnant lesbians tits-first into a woodchipper. He�s the white guy in the suit whose last job was sitting behind a big desk condemning Tia Carrere to death in an episode of RELIC HUNTER.

Paul Martin should never have let on that he was desperate. And now he’s in the bin and you’re ruled by the guy who plays Creepy Vice-President in Sci-Fi Channel shows.

We do have a very sinister looking PM nowadays.
