Don't mess with him.  He'll turn the New Brunswick legislative assembly into a car wash.

I work with a French-Canadian fellow who sounds very much like the first voice on that tape.

What's this dude so mad about?  I don't care about anything that much.

What's this dude so mad about?  I don't care about anything that much.

Here's my interpretation of events: This LeBlanc dude flips the bird, and the rest of the Legislative Assembly seems deeply shocked by the general concept of "Anger".

And then LeBlanc, in his sputtering rage, seems deeply shocked by the general concept of "Hypocrisy".

All of this reminds me of the plot of the recent Ricky Gervais film "The Invention of Lying".

(A movie which I did not actually see. But I read several reviews of it).
