Well it finally happen, the first totally inappropriate remark from the campaign trail.  The “Beer and Popcorn” remark came from Scott Reid, a senior communicaitons advisor, who was talking about the conservative’s plan to give $1500 to parents as opposed to the Liberal’s plan to put the money into childcare infrastrucsture. 

As an aside, doesn’t it seem absolutely ridiculous for government to collect money, only to turn around and write a check to the people who gave them the money in the first place?  I must be mistaken in thinking that governments provide services to tax payers not hand out cash.  But I digress.

 The liberal’s have apologized for the remark, which I can totally understand being made in a backroom conversation.  (It is actually kind of witty).  But damn, not for the general public people!  We’ll see how it plays out, as usual the analysts are all doom and gloom about the Liberal’s after the comment, calling this a turning point.
