U.S. State Official: Bush, Harper "Have Similar ideologies"

From the G&M:

WASHINGTON — A top U.S. State Department official yesterday praised the "important ideological affinity" between President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, indicating that this sharing of minds is giving a boost to Canada-U.S. relations.

Thomas Shannon, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, refused to specify exactly how the shared ideological leanings had improved U.S./Canada relations. When the recently negotiated software lumber pact was brought up as a possible example, Mr. Shannon burst into giggles.

"It is true," he said, "that one element of this shared ideology is to never give a sucker an even break."

    That should be sharing of mind (singular). There's only one mind in that pairing, and frankly, Harper really doesn't have that much to spare.

    I think they are 'sharing a brain' as well .... unfortunately fedex has lost track of the collective grey matter in its transport between ottawa and washington...Charles McVety's brain has been called in as a replacement however tupperware doesn't make containers that small.
