[T]hen, June 20, Rick Mercer launches his blog. Since the party was on May 4...that gave him 6 weeks to get through the red tape at CBC, book some time with a tekkie, get comfortable enough to post and VOILA! He's up and running.

It's been a long two years, Rick Mercer will allow. Two years of politely standing aside while the Chrétien government continued on autopilot, manhandling the feeble opposition that seemed more interested in embarassing itself than the scandal-ridden Liberals. For Mercer, who helped revive acerbic, unrelenting political satire as a cast member of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, it's been torture.

If it seems that this Ontario teen’s take on the Conservative government’s Kyoto action is oddly reminiscent of Rick Mercer’s trademark walkaround-rant, that’s no accident. Not only does this guy have the walk/rant down pat, he even takes a jab at the government (albeit the Liberal government, at the time) for hiring Mercer to act as a spokesperson. “Hiring a comedian for $85-grand to do basically what I’m doing right now . . . is not really helping.”
