More quotes from over the years, firmly tounge in cheek.
- “You would have to eat 10 billion meals of brains, spinal cords, ganglia, eyeballs and tonsils,” Klein said in 2005 when describing the risk of being infected with bovine spongiform encephalitis, or mad cow disease.
- “I’m no doctor, but I think that Mr. McGuinty’s got a case of premature speculation,” Klein said in March 2006 when commenting on then premier Dalton McGuinty’s statement that Ontario would oppose any Alberta-style health reforms that might lead to two-tiered care.
-“I ought not to have thrown the Liberal health policy at our page, Jennifer, and to Jennifer, I apologize most sincerely . . . And I also apologize for referring to the document as crap, Mr. Speaker,” he told the Alberta Legislature in March 2006 after throwing a Liberal Party health policy booklet and narrowly missing a legislature page.
-“Dinosaur farts” was Klein’s 2002 answer for what might have brought on the Ice Age that killed off dinosaurs.
A funny exceprt with Mercer.
Klein lived a few blocks away from us in Lakeview...where he lived his entire political career, modest house to say the least.
I saw him probably three years ago downtown at lunch in the +15, dressed nicely in a suit and looked to be totally "there" but seemingly wandering...I wasn't aware at the time he had dimensia.
