O'Malley Blasts Ignatieff!

The leader of the opposition was annihilated today on Kady O'Malley's CBC blog. After being uncharacteristically kind to the governing Tories, Kady finishes off her daily rant with a seldom seen shot at the Liberal Party of Canada, or at least their leader. She must be in the Bob Rae camp, and I think a lot of them are. I know who Mercer yearns for. It does signal that there is strong opposition to Iggy's decision to skip out on Parliament this week for his Hypocrisy Tour within the Liberal rank and file.

Kady writes:

"Finally, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is in Burnaby, British Columbia for a town hall on issues facing new Canadians. Will he manage to wend his way back to the Hill in time for the speaker's ruling on parliamentary privilege? Stay tuned! (No, honestly, I have no idea, but you'd think he could at least squeeze an Ottawa stopover into his lecture-and-listen circuit."

This shot is certainly more reserved than "having his legs sliced out from under him by the swift and deadly double-G-monogrammed scythe of PMO" or the "increasingly hapless-seeming Lawrence Cannon" but for all the softballs and lollipops that Kady tosses at the Liberals, the above quotation is just about as negative as it gets. By her own standards, this qualifies as "blasting Ignatieff". She generally holds back her most descriptive adjectives for her descriptions of Tories.

PS: When I used the words "uncharacteristically kind to the governing Tories" in the first paragraph, that was intended as sarcasm. It is Friday and I am preparing for a round of golf.
