Funny from Canada: Rick Mercer Zip Lines

[Canuckistanian]

1. I really appreciate when our polticians do these things

Whether it's stunts like this (and the classic Bob Rae skinny-dipping clip) or going along with obvious satirists like "Marg Delahunty", it humanizes them and shows they have a sense of fun. And Mercer is a master at convincing them to do this.

I guess American politicians are too afraid of damaging their "gravitas" as "lawmakers". Too bad.
