And now--heeere's Elizabeth!

Elizabeth May, despite having won the leadership of Canada's Green Party and becoming the country's second Green Member of Parliament, obviously felt that wasn't enough, and at the annual Press Gallery dinner attempted to reinvent herself as Janis Joplin.

No hook being handy to drag her off stage, the organizers sent Lisa Raitt instead.

But many viewers were favorably impressed, among them the booking agent for the River Rock Casino, who said, "We were hoping to get Sarah Silverman, but now we're going for Elizabeth May."

Ms. May later was contrite and repentant and offered explanations--"Must've been the flu, or maybe somebody dropped something in my kale smoothie." Still, she is determined to take her place in television's pre-election leadership debates.

Reporter: "Ms. May, despite this embarrassing incident, you're still planning to participate in the leadership debates?"

Ms. May: "#$*&*+$ right!"
