When Norman Spector Offers Liberals Advice

...they should start running hard in the opposite direction:

Perusing this morning's press and punditry, the overriding message is that the Conservatives presented a Liberal, or a Liberal-coalition budget. With the odds of an economic recovery in the next 12-18 months being slim to none, that's not a message I'd want to have congeal in the minds of Canadians if I were a Liberal strategist.

[...]

If Mr. Ignatieff is bold, he would seize on the endorsement he's been given by the other opposition parties and play it for all it's worth on the campaign trail after bringing down the government. Nor would he give Mr. Harper a chance to get up from the mat.

This one's a giggler from start to finish, and you know Spector is too smart to believe his own con. Its either an elaborate head-fake or Spector has adopted well to the "open bullshit valves to 10 and leave them there" ethos of the blogosphere.

Spector's thing wasn't even a blog post...it was a blog comment.

Hard to believe that, before blogs, most people actually believed these courtiers' opinions were uniquely informed.

If I recall correctly though, Spector is far from being a Harper fan these days.

Are you suggesting Norman Spector has principles or convictions? Because he doesn't. Never has, never will.

Reality Bites said...

Gosh, no.

As Tatum O'Neal said in Paper Moon, on the subject of scruples, "I don't know what they are, but if you've got 'em, they're somebody else's."

Just saying that his desire to hurt Harper may just outweigh any desire to hurt Iggy.

You're probably right. And that is what passes for integrity in their little world.

I just wish they'd put on powdered wigs and fop around more theatrically.
