It’s all about the Liberals

So, the normal course thing to do is for the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition to stand up after the Speech from the throne and trash it. No matter what.

Dion went home.

Iggy gave the response and lead the Party.

I don’t think even the Dumpling would have been that stupid.

From which it follows that a)Dion may not last ’til Christmas, b) Iggy becomes interim leader, c) which remains in effect by default because the Grits don’t have the money for a conventional convention and have not the wit to do it online, d) Unless he goes early Harper loses the advantage of Dion as leader, e) there will be an election before Christmas.

Kick ‘em while they’re down is an excellent political strategy.

Which means the conservatives should bring out the executive powers [snap election] on this guy and finish him off regardless of the fix election legislation.

Beat him now, explain later.

Because it’s good to destroy a weak enemy?

Remember that Manning was Chretien’s best pal, his squeaky voice and nutty ideas making Jean actually look good…hmmm…kinda reminds you of something…

Methinks Harper is happy to have Dion around. Having an opposition leader that ineffectual (rhymes with intellectual!) has got to be a gift from heaven.
