Well Lawrence Martin, Liberal cheerleader,
muses today about the Iffy Waffle's "vision" and "toughness." Martin compares Iffy with John Kerry and Michael Dukakis. Of course Iffy out right rejects that presumption.
Openness, democratic reform, equality of opportunity. In the Ignatieff view, it’s bold stuff. Others, pollsters included, don’t find it striking enough to change an image that needs changing.
When I raised the comparison with the Americans, he jumped in. “I’m not John Kerry. I’m not Michael Dukakis. I’m prepared to fight. The idea that I’m going to go through an election campaign as some kind of Boy Scout is a serious underestimation of who you are looking at.”
He said it with some anger. It was a good sign.
Oh,yeah, he's such a tough cookie isn't he?
Remember these fighting words?
"If you mess with me, I will mess with you until I'm done," Ignatieff said Saturday.
Or these?
"After four years of drift, four years of denial, four years of division and discord -- Mr. Harper, your time is up."
He always makes these pronouncements then backs down. Iffy's waffled so many times he's lost his credibility. Is it any wonder voters would choose
"none of the above" over the Iffy Waffle?
