The leader of the Liberal party recently made a glowing statement about Canada's new Governor General, trying to appeal to his history in academia. You may recall earlier in the year Iggy took the position that Michaelle Jean's term should be extended, but now that she has been replaced, it is time to suck up to the new guy. If the Liberals were originally against Michaelle Jean being replaced, then why aren't they criticizing the government for replacing her? God knows they slam the government for everything at every opportunity. Is it a flip flop or a suck up?
For the Liberals to form government with the NDP and Bloc in the event of another Tory minority, they must get approval from the GG. You will never hear the Liberal Party utter any criticism about David Johnston, even if some Libloggers have tried to connect him to a nefarious involvement in the Mulroney-Schreiber Affair. It is true that this was an excellent appointment by the Prime Minister who resisted temptation to appoint a partisan; though he could have appointed Kory Teneycke to the post and somehow I suspect Iggy would kiss his ass as well...
Maybe Ignatieff is looking for a referral for after the next election at Waterloo, McGill after turning down the U of T job?
ReplyDeleteIt must be a coincidence with all those university campus visits.
I love that you call yourself pragnmatic. That should separate you from your peers.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest thought; before Iggy applied for the PM's job, way back when, Iggy might have been a candidate for the GG job. LMAO...
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to have entertained you Kim. Thank you for the compliment.
ReplyDeleteIn latte liberal circles flip flopping and suckholing are synonymous with nuance. That this behavior displays their total lack of integrity is apparently too nuanced for them to grasp.
ReplyDeleteMust be some kind of irony deficiency.
Iggy is a visitng Yankee ass kisser! (rc)
ReplyDeleteIggy is clueless. The moment he said those words about Jean's term many pundits recognized that it was a foolish error.This last statement proves it.
