Ignatieff's tentacles wrapped around the neck of the Liberal Party

It is difficult to distinguish exactly who has their tentacles wrapped around the collective neck of the Liberal Party these days, Iggy or his NDP Premiers, but what's clear is that they are slowly dragging the party into the abyss. If you think this hyperbole is over the top, it's okay I am just a blogger, not a Parliamentarian. Nobody in the House of Commons would ever be so crass as to use that type of language on the hansard. On second thought, maybe they would...

I think Wilson said it best over on the message board at Blue Like You:

Susan Riley, a Liberal reminds that Canadians are not stupid:

”..Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, wasting what is left of his fine mind, spent much of this week in ardent pursuit of Helena Guergis and Rahim Jaffer — trying desperately and unconvincingly to shift blame for their misdeeds to Harper…"

Why, Ignatieff wanted to know, did the prime minister do nothing for months “while Mr. and Mrs. Jaffer attached their tentacles to the neck of government and slowly dragged it down?”

For those who track such things, this metaphorical overkill may mark a new low for the Liberal leader and a moment when the mood in the Commons shifted from sport to cruelty…

As for Ignatieff, he lamented the damage done the “political class” by tawdry scandals this week before he proceeded to jump gleefully into the cesspool himself…”

  1. Ignatieff is just the puppet being controlled from the rafters above, imo.
    He's the mannequin in the storefront of the Liberal five and dime.

    There is no substance, savvy, knowledge or true political will in this guys leadership reality. The real leader and what we are seeing play out is all simply an orchestrated facade by 'the office'. That's where the marching orders and strategy comes from, imo and we have seen it before. It's like watching a remake of an old bad movie but the script is still identical, the budget less and the actors, terrible.

  2. I would correct (jump gleefully into cesspool this week).

    This H.G. freakshow is two months old. The opposition have been bathing in the cesspool for much longer than a week.

  3. We should start calling Iggy "Doctor Octopus" or perhaps some play on squid. Squiggy?

    I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas.

  5. Did yah read the Dipper request to Mary Dawson, to investigate Helena?
    Sounds to me like what will be investigated is the April 16 2008 article by Kevin Donovan.

  7. Wilson I'll allow it, but generally my policy is not to link the Liblogs.

    Do unto others as they do unto you...
