Letter: Attention, Mr. Speaker

A letter to the editor on a habit at the Saskatchewan legislature.
saskatchewan-legislature
The Saskatchewan legislative building.

The editor:

Mr.  Speaker,  I was listening to the radio the other day, Mr. Speaker, and Mr. Speaker, when the Saskatchewan minister of Health, Mr. Speaker, in the legislature, Mr. Speaker, got up to talk, Mr. Speaker, it seemed, Mr. Speaker, that with every third word, Mr. Speaker, he had to mention your position, Mr. Speaker, and after awhile, Mr. Speaker, in reference to you, Mr. Speaker, and your position, Mr. Speaker, moved from the ridiculous, Mr. Speaker, to the amusing, Mr. Speaker, to, outright annoying, Mr. Speaker.

Now I know, Mr. Speaker, that our premier also has Mr. Speaker Syndrome, a habit of mentioning you, Mr. Speaker, waaay too often during a one-minute response, Mr. Speaker, but the minister of Health, Mr. Speaker, has easily, out-speakered Mr. Moe, Mr. Speaker, in referencing you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, could you maybe, Mr. Speaker, hire a speech consultant or therapist, Mr. Speaker, to help, these people? 

Mr. Speaker, I don’t believe, Mr. Speaker, this would, cost, Mr. Speaker, a lot and it, Mr. Speaker, would make listening to our MLAs, Mr. Speaker, a lot easier.

Mr. Speaker, I could go on, Mr. Speaker, and on, Mr. Speaker, but I’m hoping, Mr. Speaker, this little message is received, Mr. Speaker, with good graces, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, what was the minister of Health, Mr. Speaker, even talking about that day, Mr. Speaker? He lost me at the 34th mention of your name, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Editor, I thank you, Mr. Editor, for accepting this tiny tirade, Mr. Editor. I promise, Mr. Editor, I will do better, Mr. Editor, next time, Mr. Editor. Maybe.
