Andre Boisclair has come out on top of the PQ leadership race. I must say that I’m extremely glad to see this, not just because Boisclair is a terrible politician, but mainly because it’s going to lead to oh so many cocaine jokes.

That aside, with the PQ doing well in the polls, I imagine Boiclair is on quite the high right now. He also managed to get off the best line of the night while accepting the win: “This is a great step on the road to an independent Quebec.”

(OK, OK. It’s not a great line, and I just made it up so Boisclair may not have even said it, but I wanted to use the “line” pun and none of the news stories have quotes of his up yet)
