Dept. of Outta Here

Blogging will be sporadic, with gusts to non-existent, over the next two weeks. In my absence, please just assume that Mike Duffy continues to publicly demonstrate with his every word and action his complete and utter independence as a member of the upper chamber.

If that’s not enough to hold you, please work from the following broad themes that inform Feschuk on the Famous:

• Stephen Harper is power-mad and lacks charisma.

• Michael Ignatieff isn’t really a two-dimensional caricature of a politician, but he currently plays one on TV.

• Jack Layton? Mustachioed.

• Senators are old.

• Kirstie Alley is fat.

• Scarlett Johansson is pretty.

• Charlie Sheen likes women.
