Iggy Moment

Don Martin: Hiring Donolo. The myth
Posted: October 28, 2009, 5:10 PM by NP Editor

Whenever Liberals gaze longingly into their Scotch, reminiscing about those bygone days of government power and payoff glory, they sometimes whisper the name ‘Peter Donolo' with mythical reverence.

Today we play Inside Baseball by noting that, ten years after leaving politics for a series of patronage and polling jobs, the same Donolo who served as Jean Chretien's communications guru returns as Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff's top sidekick.

If the news of his return is any indication, the myth is no longer the man as he launches a mission to salvage his political alma mater from its slide toward oblivion.

The appointment leaked out just as Tuesday afternoon television politics shows were going to air. Confusion reigned. Liberal apologists didn't know what to say or do. The data was repeatedly denied by a communications director who is, incidentally, the partner of the chief of staff now being metaphorically thrown under Mr. Ignatieff's bus.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
