Harper Shakes Iggy's Hand

For helping send Canadians to their death in a desert shithole a half a world away for the next two years at least! They say Harper was making a political move to help sink Iggy's chances in the Liberal Leadership race. Except that I don't know how the odds for Iggy could get any lower. Personally, after last night, I wouldn't piss on him if his heart was on fire.

Frankly, what sickens me most about Ignatieff is not just that he supports the extension of the mission. Last night's vote was entirely meaningless, since a "no" vote would have no absolutely no sway over Stephen Harper, who was bound and determined to extend the mission no matter what the will of Parliament or the majority of the Canadian people. The Libs should have cast "no" votes just because the whole charade was an insult to the intelligence. Yet Iggy was so determined to advance his own interests as a candidate "of principle" that he was willing to dance like a puppet on a string for Harper. He has damaged the Liberal Party immensely, done a Lieberman and made them look disunited and weak.

You wanna go live there, Nav? I'll give you some cream to rub on your nuts to keep the nut lice off 'em.

Graham is the "interim" leader, I think he's called, and he fucked up too. All 28 ought to be spanked. But Iggy's is by far the worst.

I'm waiting for the great Liberal purge of foreign policy hawks from the party.

Come on, you know you want to do it.
