Behind the scenes, Liberals worry about a "loosey-goosey" operation that staggered out of the gate, minus an airplane, to sell a complicated Green Shift plan that bears the heavy stamp of Stéphane Dion, professor. Nobody seems to have even Googled the name to see if it was taken.
"I wish we had one," says the Ottawa-based Liberal veteran, when asked who's the party equivalent of Conservative powerhouse Doug Finley. "There's nobody – nobody in charge, except Dion, and he isn't listening."
Liberals say there are talented people in senior positions – Smith, Mark Marissen, Gordon Ashworth, Herb Metcalfe – but that Dion runs his own show, eschewing advice.
"Dion is in another friggin' world," says a Toronto Liberal MP. "I could go on ad nauseam about how he won't listen to anybody.
Well, might I suggest simply putting the Liberal Party out of its misery already, and getting a life, fellows? You do believe in euthanasia, being leftists, don't you?
One foot already in the grave... they can't stand the suspense... Shoulda pulled the plug on the Red Menace long ago!
It's not just the leader that sucks butt wind. It's the whole damn Party!
