This week Liberal leader Mike Ignatieff appeared on the Soloman Show to discuss his "Summer Under The Bus Tour", and the host asked him to clarify his remarks suggesting that the Prime Minister was either the Devil or a demon from Hell. Iggy just smiled, laughed and said "don't take me too seriously". That is excellent advice to give to all the Canadians who will listen to him speak this summer, he is not to be taken seriously. I have been following that advice since Iggy first returned to Canada to run for Prime Minister.
When Iggy has to spend Day 2 of his "3 Hour Tour" explaining to a national television audience that he is not to be taken seriously, you know they have problems. When he spends Day 3 accusing a Liberal friendly Torstar journalist of making up stories about job offers from the University of Toronto, you know they have problems. Does Jim Traverse just make up stories about Liberals? I know he has a lot of sources in the Liberal hierarchy, some more reliable than others. Or is he just doing Bob Rae's dirty work?
Poor ole Ignatieff - the Canadian public has taken his advice to heart and have voted their disdain of his leadership. His poll numbers are to be relished by Dion and his supporters. Cheers.
ReplyDelete"don't take me too seriously"
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great fodder for a YouTube clip.
Where's Tory Boy these days?
Ignatieff just cannot get out front on anything. He's a babe in the woods politically and most Canadians really do not take him seriously. But I won't lose sleep over that.
ReplyDeleteMore than one columnist or talking honcho has said this tour is to teach iggy how to campaign. Do The Canadians, that he is taking Down to realize there are guinea pigs.
ReplyDeleteWhat is his largest crowd so far, not counting those on the bus or media.
The Iggomaniac doesn't have to worry...I, for one, have never taken him seriously.
ReplyDeleteI am going with my conspiracy theory he is a double agent for the conservatives.
ReplyDeleteHe can't be fired until after the election, so the Liberal team is stuck with Mr. Wonderful.
It is a shame they won't let him speak and do a hard hitting interview. Can you imagine in Adler or Coren got him for thirty minutes?
How long before his team assumed the Fetal position?
