OTTAWA – In the latest jab of his ongoing feud with Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Beverley McLachlin, Prime Minister Harper has slammed the jurist for her choice of outfit.
“We think that it is inappropriate and inadvisable for a sitting judge to dress the way Chief Justice McLachlin does,” read a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office. “Tacky doesn’t even begin to describe it.”
When asked whether the statement was meant to discredit the Supreme Court after it ruled the attempted appointment of Marc Nadon to the bench was unconstitutional, representatives of the PMO rolled their eyes and told members of the press to ‘Get a life and a tailor’.
“What is she, like, a size 6?” sneered Conservative spokesperson Becky Carsons, 14. “And with her chubby nose in a book all the time, they should call her the Chief Lardass of the Lamepreme Dork.”
While many have defended McLachlin’s customary red and white robes as ‘a uniform’, a recent National Post column quoted several Conservative MPs as saying that McLachlin’s actions amounted to ‘Judicial Blah-ctivism’.
“Poor Bev just doesn’t have the complexion to pull off red,” said Minister of the Burn-vironment, Leona Aglukkaq. “Stop trying to make civil liberties happen! It’s not going to happen!”
This is the first time a public feud between the executive and judicial branches of government has erupted in Canada since 1794, when Chief Justice Osgoode used social media sites to distribute nude images of Governor Prescott.
