Any words of encouragement?

So, there's this Canadian comedy show called This Hour Has 22 Minutes. And usually, I don't find it all that hilarious.

But! One of the actors, Mary Walsh, has a running gag where she plays a character called Marg Delahunty, an opinionated Newfoundland reporter, and last week Marg Delahunty went to a Sarah Palin book signing at a Borders store, and asked Ms. Palin if she had any words of advice for Canadian conservatives who were trying to get rid of socialized medicine.*

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED:

* There are (practically) no Canadians who want to get rid of socialized medicine (link to a Raw Story piece about polling on this issue.) Walsh was being hilarious.

Is Mary Walsh back on 22 Minutes? I remember it used to be hilarious, back around the late '90s? Then all the original cast left and it just got stoopid. Same thing happened to Air Farce, it went on lifespans longer than it should have.

I do not know if she's back for good -- but she was back for this segment, anyway, and it was a perfect storm of awesome.

Mary Walsh is one of the most delightful lady comedians we've got.

True. :-)
