Harper sings Lennon: You know how hard it can be

Hot: Stephen Harper. The Conservative Leader actually ventured to the back of his campaign aircraft Thursday night to sing to reporters. And it wasn't to sing policy.

A John Lennon fan, Mr. Harper was honouring the 25th anniversary of the musician's death and sang a verse of The Ballad of John and Yoko. He told reporters that the day has been forever etched in his mind."


Hmm. This explains alot. So he thinks he knows how hard it can be? HA! To paraphrase BTO, he ain't seen nuthin yet!
