Stephen Harper’s Milli Vanilli moment?

I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to watch Harper sing about how he likes to get high with his friends here on YouTube, but thanks to rumours (via Calgary’s FastForward Weekly) saying Harper faked the whole stunt, here I am watching the video again.

If you figure there’s as much believability to the performance as there is authenticity to the idea that Harper smokes pot or drops acid with his buds, you have ex-Rheostatic Dave Bidini in your corner.

The Harper that doesn’t like the arts, but does have a passion for the piano, also explains (a couple of minutes in) that his hands would shake when he got nervous in front of a crowd in this Globe audio clip. Maybe the fear caused the Harper-Yo Yo Ma team to recreate the faked performance at Obama’s inauguration?

This clip shows Harper from an amateur angle and you can hear the clunky chords come out, but there’s no clear evidence, besides the fact that it’s usually worth not believing anything that comes out of the guy.

Does everyone remember wafergate in New Brunswick?

Sadly, Ignatieff fails to capitalize, by mocking what actually endeared our robo-PM to the middle-brow audience – how mediocre Harper is at singing. Play ‘im off Iggy![rssbreak]
