Satirists mock the ongoing Senate scandal
The ongoing Senate expense scandal has been a boon to political journalists right across the country. The stories just keep on coming.
It's also been good time for Canada's satirists and comics.
Here is a catchy preview of Tuesday night's episode of CBC's "This Hour has 22 minutes" (inspired by Lorde's song, "Royals").
The video captures not only the Senate scandal but touches on the Bev Oda affair, Dean Del Mastro's Elections Canada problems and those pesky Economic Action Plan ads.
