Alexa McDonough Is Asked What She Thinks Of Rick Mercer
What do you think of Rick Mercer?
Contrary to a real bum rap by a few members of the media, he was a really great sport when we had the audacity to ambush his book signing. And as would be expected he was instantly hilarious in his reaction.
I think that, not just Rick Mercer, but everyone on This Hour Has 22 Minutes are providing a really great service to Canadians by allowing them to both laugh and engage in hard-hitting political commentary. It was particularly important during the time when there was no alternative voice in Parliament to represent the concerns and perspectives of ordinary people. But I think that Rick Mercer is not only a superb entertainer but also a very, very smart young man.
