“Teflon Steve”?
So what’s Monte Solberg been up to lately?
I was quite surprised to read an article by him in today’s Ottawa Sun (at least I assume it’s the Monte Solberg) - No Party with Leaders.
It’s actually quite an amusing little piece, much like a fine Merlot.
One of my favourite lines regarding Jack Layton:
…Unfortunately, just saying "Green Collar Jobs" and clicking your heels together won’t buy groceries and pay the mortgage.
Incredibly I can’t even find a mention of crime issues on the NDP website, a big issue for the blue collar workers he’s courting. Sometimes Jack also comes across as way too pleased with himself in a way that makes you want to give him a noogie."
Oh yeah…
- And about Elizabeth May:
…She’s a nice person, and the kind of person I would consult on buying organic soap from the farmers’ market…
Heh.
Oh dear. I hope you don’t have to issue an apology Monte. Oh yeah, you’re not running again. Lucky you.
Read his piece slowly, and enjoy.

Update : More on Monte from a recent Calgary Sun article by Rick Bell.

Monte’s sarcasm and wit is second to no one. And he is as nice in person as he appears on tv. I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Stephane Dion has been coming across as quite angry and annoyed in some of his speeches.
I know if you’re a Conservative leader, that’s supposedly a bad thing. Will people be turned off by Dion acting this way?

Have always liked Solberg, strikes me as a very honest straight shooting kinda guy.
To bad he is not running again - his strengths will be missed on the front bench.

From the article, “Dion is as funny as a broken toe”.
It’s true, and I speak with authority on that. I broke my toe in grade 5.

BREAKING!
Dion is moving his Green Shift out of view…Bob Fife ask him about why he was not talking Green Shift today which he said was his central election plank in which Dion replied: It’s you (the media) that says it is, not me.
Game over…The turkey is cooked and ready for post Oct 14th leftovers.

Wonder if he’ll take up blogging again? It used to be one of my favorite reads.
