Dead can Dance

During a session in which Rae took questions from delegates, one Liberal member asked if he thought Volpe was getting a tougher time during the race than he deserved.

“I’ve known Joe for a long time, and he’s one of the most practiced, seasoned parliamentarians and politicians in the country,” Rae said. ctv

Somehow, and it could be the spaghetti wine talking, I can’t get some weird variant of the Paul Simon lyric out of my head:

Where have you gone, Joe Volpe?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Ooo ooo ooo).
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson?
“Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away.”

It doesn’t scan but it catches the essence of Rae’s pandering.
