22 Minutes: Marg Delahunty Gets Arrested By New RCMP Chief Bob Paulson (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post Canada   First Posted: 02/28/2012 12:59 pm Updated: 02/28/2012 12:59 pm

The last time Marg Delahunty (Mary Walsh) had to deal with the police was when she made a visit to Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's home.

Now, following the real life arrest of Xena Warrior Princess Lucy Lawless during a Greenpeace protest on Monday, Princess Warrior Marg Delahunty is getting arrested on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes."

Marg tells new RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson he looks like Mr. Clean, a good sign for someone tasked with cleaning up alleged sexual harassment on the national force.

Things turn south, however, when Marg starts to criticize the department for talking the talk on accountability but failing to walk the walk. That's when Paulson stops listening and orders his officers to arrest Marg.

With cuts coming, let's hope the CBC will have the cash to get her out of the big house.

This Hour Has 22 Minutes airs Tuesdays at 8:30 pm on CBC TV. Catch more clips of the show on Facebook and Twitter.

Yes she is. Plus the fact that she seems to get under the skin of conservatives makes her all the more appealing.

At least Paulson has a sense of humour, unlike some people in Toronto.

Marg Delahunty is more of a hero to me than Xena for using comedy as a clever way to say it like it is. She gave voice to what many of us want to see from our RCMP. The time has come to clean up the place Mr. Clean, I mean Mr. Paulson.
Actually, in my view he looks more like Jean-Luc Picard. Justice for Canadians and a clean up of Parliament. Make it so!

You seriously think there's a sarcasm clause in the Entertainment Act of 1922?

Condescending much? Obviously, it was a gag. She didn't say anything offensive and she wasn't even arrested. Duh.

Arrested? On what charge? Just for saying something The Man didn't like to hear?

Breaching the "no uttering of sarcastic statements in a federal office" subsection of the Entertainment Act of 1922.
