Rodney MacDonald, Premier* of Nova Scotia, Canada's eastern-most mainland Atlantic province invites David Letterman to visit.
The list is well done in that the jokes get funnier as he gets closer to #1.
Extra info from YT which is lifted from YWT:
"A brave initiative by Rodney MacDonald, Nova Scotia’s Conservative top dog. The Premier rode the wave of popularity provided by the smashing reviews of the recent Hollywood hit ‘Juno’ and its Halifax-based star: Ellen Page. Ellen appeared on David Letterman on January 3, 2008, and spoke a bit about Nova Scotia, prompting Letterman to announce that he would like to visit some day.
And so, the Nova Scotia Provincial leader decided to send Letterman a more ‘official’ invitation. See video below.
The clip appears on the Nova Scotia ‘Come To Life’ website. The province recently launched a new marketing effort to reinvigorate dwindling tourism and call back its expats who left the province for better fortunes in Western Canada. I must say that the new ads are much more polished and aggressive than previous initiatives. Check the new promotional videos on www.novascotialife.com. I spotted the billboard below in Calgary last month."
*(Canadian equivalent of state governor)

Kruposays...While watching this I thought, "it'd be hilarious if - could you imagine Huckabee doing this" ... and then he references the guy. Wow. I'm in sync with the Premier of Nova Scotia. Awesome.

lullaby_lunesays...aww.. it makes me feel kind of good about Rodney MacDonald.
Which is saying something. We usually love to hate our politicians.
notarobotsays...Upvote for it the video being about my home province, but I gotta say that I have no love for this guy. He has spent less time on the job then any other premier in Nova Scotia's history, fiddling around the province for popularity instead of actually doing his job. A real class act.
chrisyfsays...Upvote because he's no longer premier!
