Rick Mercer cracks me up. I think CBC is still in reruns, but the one on now is one i must have missed. He's swapping disabled person jokes with the (quadriplegic) mayor of Vancouver, Sam Sullivan. Sullivan became a quadriplegic as a result of a skiing accident, which left him paralyzed from the neck down.

RM: You have to have made quite the impression oin Turin, getting the Olympic flag and doing donuts on stage. What were you thinking at that point?
SS: That it was really ironic that Vancouver sent the worst skier around to get the Olympic flag, and that I had to do something to redeem myself.
