I can't shake the image from my brain of Iggy's facial expression when he announced to Canadians that they did not want an election after he spent four months so diligently trying to convince us that we needed one. Of course when he announced his new "Scorched Earth" policy in Sudbury, he was completely oblivious to the will of Canadians; but after months of trying to force an election upon us, he finally came to the conclusion that his policy was an abject failure. Eureka! What a profound thinker.
That gets me to a fantastic idea for a Tory election commercial. Start with the caption "Mike Ignatieff out of touch with Canadians" and then flash to a clip of the Sudbury speech where he proclaims that Mr Harper's time is up and that Canada needs an election. Then collect the whole series of video clips of Ignatieff passionately proclaiming that we require an election, and show the best ones. The impromptu presser outside the Commons on body bag-gate might be the best, where he cites the government wanting aboriginals to die as yet another reason that we need an election. Then end the commercial with the recent clip of Ignatieff proclaiming with superlative zeal that if he learned anything this fall it was that Canadians did not want an election, followed by his sarcastic "HELLO??!!" then end with the caption "Ignatieff, just visiting."
I think the best ammunition to use against Iggy is his own words.
No one could make up a character like Mr Ignatieff, he appears on the Canadian scene, a Messiah! cue music!! No one that is other than the shadowy power corp Methuselahs. He has turned into another sorry dissapointment. So TA-DA they are now attempting to foist the child of Pierre and Margret Trudeau as the "new" "young" "Hip" "charismatic" "LEADER" who will like Moses after trollin' around the desert for some 40 years will lead us to the only land in the middle East with no "Oil" thus fufilling our destiny as Green Converts who will then be accepted at the U.N. given a sufficently large portion of our G.N.P. offered as Penance for daring to be a self sufficent energy producing country, we may even get a "nod of approval" from such democratic "Leaders" as Rober Mugabe, who has so succesfully led his Country into the 21 century. All this is within our grasp if we will only kneel at Big Al's Altar and gasp in wonder as Lizzy does the "dance of the seven hockey sticks" if we do not follow the "true faith" which cannot be questioned we will be cast into the "furnace" of Glo-bull warming which makes "hell" look cool.

Ignatieff seems to have a real gift for torturing common political platitudes and making them sound especially self-serving.
ReplyDeleteObserve:
"What Canadians want is an alternative to the Harper government, and they want to believe that I can be a good prime minister and give them an alternative government."
Yes, Michael, Canadians do want an alternative to weigh the current government against and, if we deem it to be a superior option, choose. But Canadians are not dead set on you being that alternative.
It could just as easily be Elizabeth or Jack, but never (for the love of God) Gilles.
Silly Capitalist, Grits are for kids! Wait, that doesn't work. Grits are for trix? Grits are for income redistribution? There, that rolls off the tongue.
ReplyDeleteIgnatieff's great Russian genealogy brought us the Iron Curtain. Show proper respect you impudent pig!
ReplyDeleteI think the CPC war room has basically got Iggy pegged and can handle it from here.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a project to work let me suggest this.
Its no secret now that young prince Nancyboy (AKA Justin Trudeau) is organizing to replace Iggy the moment the liberal throne becomes vacant...and we could discuss the nuances of that particular trainwreck for hours...but I digress.
The real question...should you desire to pursue in poll-like fashion...is just what prince Nancyboy plans to do as PM?
Thats the thing isn't it? After all the boy is all about the legacy, or more specifically, fufilling the unfinished legacy of his father.
So if I was interested in posing a multiple choice questionaire it would be this:
What unfinished business of his father does Prince Nancyboy want to complete, and most importantly what would he offer up to seal the deal?
If you haven't guessed what I'm driving at, I'll be plain. One piece of unfinished business that PET couldn't get done, was to get Quebec's signature on the constitution. (Cue the vid clip of Iggy saying "we didn't get it done").
Now if anyone got the idea that Justin would as PM make this a priority, the obvious question then is...what would he give Quebec in return?
