Sitting on the curb

The Election, part 2

I’m actually feeling kind of sorry for Stéphane Dion. He seems like a decent guy but he is completely at sea in the world of big-time politics, where he is savaged daily by that bully Stephen Harper.

I blame the Liberal party for tossing him into this lion’s den. They spent their leadership convention playing “Anybody but that guy,” a game that invariably leads to some amiable non-entity like Dion winning by default. (See Joe Clark.)

Too bad Dion is so starved for charisma as to be unelectable. Thanks Liberals! I’m sure a Harper majority won’t be THAT bad.

    That’s a beautiful portrait of the woman and her shadow feeling sorry for Dion. I like your portraits best. I want to elect your portraits Prime Minister – they rule

    If the law won’t allow the portrait as PM maybe we can get you declared Portrait Laureate.
    There will of course be a large stipend attached.

    Maybe Hamlet Seagull can be Poultry Laureate. With a large stipend of course.

    A most excellent idea and if we can find a suitable ceramics worker they can be pottery laureate. Of course with the required stipend, and then the 3 of you can run the country and we won’t be bothered with these sweater wearing, democracy befuddling throwbacks.

    We’ll need a french fry worker to be the Poutine laureate. With the usual stipend of course.
