PMO never too busy for photo-ops

With that stock market disrupting Parliament not sitting, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was keen to show Canadians that he is hard at work following the devastating earthquake in Haiti yesterday. The practice of sending out official photos of the Prime Minister to the media was pioneered by the Harperites, whose commitment to ensuring the media has everything they need to do their jobs is so strong that no matter how grave the crisis there is always an official photographer on hand to capture the statesman at work. Perhaps I’m just paying more attention now that I don’t have Parliament to distract me, but this week it’s seemed particularly bizarre.

Definitely trying to use Haiti to 'change the channel.'

1. Stop the photo op already

I'd say Harper is overdoing it when even the press complains about a free-story!
