"When we see the budget"

Say whatever you want about American politicians but I think one area that Canadian political leaders have them beat is our ability to mock ourselves.  This video comes to you via The Hour and is a wonderful mockery of Stephane Dion's answer to the question of "When are you going to force an election?".

While I can't find it on YouTube, I think the best of all time may be Prime Minister Jean Chretien's "Power Lunch" with Rick Mercer at Harveys in the lead up to the budget. 

While Clinton did make that one funny video of himself eight years ago, which was well received, I haven't seen anyone else do a good job of making fun of themselves in Washington.
