Another View Of Iggy

The First American Prime Minister In Waiting

Colour Charles Adler unimpressed with the "accidental tourist" leading the Liberal Party of Canada;

Let's talk about the episode in recent history where you accuse the prime minister of not understanding Canada, an interesting statement coming from a man who spent ninety percent of his adult life outside Canada, which I suppose is why you blow that windy stuff around about how the Liberal party is representative of every part of Canadian society. When you were a child living in Canada, you might have been able to say that without drawing gales of laughter. I am not clashing with your long term memory. Like a lot of aging men, it's still intact. It's your short term memory that appears a little foggy and so I go back to your statement at the end of your speech where you are attempting to, as they say in the country that you know much better than Canada, and that would be the USA, as they say in the USA, in that final portion of your speech where you are trying to hit for the fences you accuse Stephen Harper of threatening a national unity crisis by proroguing Parliament. Since you claim to be a public intellectual I know you can handle my depositing of context in the public airing of your failed home run swing.

(Allow me to add - the reference to Saddam Hussein was nothing short of inspired!)

Heh - "Unfortunately these same reports very rudely pointed out that actually some 7,000 delegates were eligible to attend, proving that Michael Ignatieff-mania is going viral especially in the sense that the other 5,500 were apparently not feeling well enough to show up."
