Ignatieff's "Declining Years"

When Jim Traverse speculated that Liberal leader Mike Ignatieff had an "exit strategy" in the form of a high profile job at the University of Toronto, Iggy's response was that Jim Traverse has taken to "writing fiction in his declining years". When JT countered, he noted that Ignatieff is one year older than he is! If Jimmy is in his "declining years", then what does that make Iggy? Does he see himself declining, hence why he is labeling others in his demographic as in decline? Jim wisely pointed out that Ignatieff may want to take care not to offend the baby boomers who may not appreciate this kind of comment.

It is nice to see Iggy adding to his ever growing video library of absolutely asinine comments. He has tremendously poor political instincts. Like today, bragging about taking the enormous risk of talking to children. A cautious politician doesn’t talk to children, they say the darndest things. It is very challenging to match wits with a toddler, at least for someone as clueless as Mike.
