Out, Out Cursed Logo!

Twenty-four hours later, the CPoC logo is still in the address bar on Rahim Jaffer's website. It's so hard to let go sometimes.

BAck now. Weird.

Timothy Friesen said...

Not as of right now it isn't. It's still visible on the main page. It is not visible on sub pages.

It's still in the URL box I'm getting.

Just checked & the logo is no longer in the URL.

He's also changed his statement on the homepage. No longer mentions access to govt.

As I have stated above... The logo still shows up in the address bar on the main page (http://www.rahimjaffer.com). It does not show up on any of the sub pages linked to from the main page.

On another note, there's still something vaguely Conservative about that web site (and no, it's not the still present CPC favicon).

And... From the biography section:

"In addition, Rahim is a key player in coordinating future policy between various branches of both the Canadian and US governments."

Yup, it's showing up in the url bar for me again, though it seems to have disappeared last night.

This example, of course, is pretty trivial, but it does clearly illustrate what Jaffer's sales-pitch was: as a former MP and husband of a cabinet minister, I have access. Pay me and I'll use that access to get you government grants.

Rahim Jaffer, and the CPC.

The love that dare not speak it's name.

But but but...EVERYBODY DOES IT!!

This is what happens when you lose your manufacturing base. People like Jaffer should be in a factory somewhere, fixing widgets onto cogs. Or he and Guergis should have pumped out a kid so he could have a useful purpose as a stay-at-home dad.

Actually, as of right now (Fri 9 Apr 2010 12:43) all I'm getting at the website is "Directory Listing Denied". Seems that it's been fixed by the simple expedient of deleting everything in it.

Holly Stick said...

Link doesn't work. Did he have the same website designer who turned the Government of Canada websites into vulgar, tasteless, partisan crap?

bigcitylib said...

Heh! Website is gone, but address bar still shows Tory Logo.

Timothy Friesen said...

As of now I can confirm that even the CPC logo is gone. Hiw website has been erased from the face of the Internet.

Archive.org (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.rahimjaffer.com) offers a history of the website, but nothing past mid 2008.

JimBobby said...

Now, the entire website is gone except for the CPC logo

buckets said...

Now it's all gone for me except for the Conservative logo and "error"

This is just too funny.
