Press secretaries say the darndest things

From this morning's Globe and Mail, in a story about how David Emerson hasn't had an MP Web page since he shuffled over to the Conservatives:

"We are updating it. I don't have a time frame, but hopefully soon. We realize the Internet is very popular."

-- Jennifer Chiu, spokesperson for Minister Emerson

I hear there's also some kind of horseless carriage that is all the rage too...

What I found amusing was the bolded line, it sounded like she'd just learned there was such a thing called the "Internet."

That international boy knows exactly which way is up. Too bad for his secretary, she's a goner.
Here's hoping Emerson decides his fortier oooops forte is in the private sector, and will leave politics as soon as his deed is done.
He's already said he is awaiting orders from headquarters (Harper) to do the softwood deal. So, looks like he is just an honorary Trade Minister, a puppet to Harper, and really has no say or power.
A straw man, designed to take the heat off the elephant in the room, Fortier.
Fat chance.
