  3. Harper Diesel Shit thats way tooo funny
    I wonder if the “Devil made him do it”

  4. ctv.ca comments on the article
    one guy writes So when Iggy was yelling “Your time is up mr harper” he was talking to the dude that fixed his bus

  5. It’s that Harper, I tell ya. I smell sulfur everywhere. I’ll bet he has a Iggy doll and some pins too.

  7. Absolutely priceless, the Devil’s low sulphur diesel “Under The Bus Tour”.
    Iggy is in need of Divine help, maybe he should make a rest stop at Our Lady of Perpetual Help!
    Next headline: “Atheist resorts to prayer!”

  8. The sulfur Iggy smelled was from the diesel in the bus. Was it a premonition? It toke a Mr. Harper to get Iggy on the ride road again; another premonition perhaps?

  10. Appearances could only be worse is PMSH arrived on a stallion and whisked Iggy off into the sunset. That said, you can’t get much more feminine than calling Harper to come fix you ride. I guess Iggy didn’t want to ruin his nails.
    The wise political thing to do(so long as there was a camera present) would have been to roll-up his sleeves(IGGY), look under the hood and get a little dirty; that’s what “regular” Canadian would do.

  12. Harper Diesel – no one in the PM war room could have done better than real life!
    Iffy could have gotten the press to take photos of him working “under the hood” after the bus broke down. That would have shown me some media savvy. Instead he ran away I mean off to his next engagement.

  15. “The Conservative government’s social policy is prisons, tougher sentences for this and more people in jail,”
    Damned straight!! Mine too….
    Bring it on Iggy!

  16. Would you expect anything different than one royal f*ck up after another for a Liberal leader when he’s travelling through rural CONSERVATIVE! Eastern Ontario.
    Now I must go and re-arrange the chicken bones.

  17. Great to see the Toronto Flamin’Sun not being able to stay on topic and start to blame PMSH for all their troubles.
    You know there is some serious trouble in the Liberal house when things start piling up against them like this. I JUST LOVE IT!!!
    Nothing says run and duck like a campaign that starts out this troubled.
    Burn, Iggy, Burn!!!

  18. Lib Ziffy ships out on TO/Mont/Van/.
    Ignatieff: “Just Visiting”.
    ““I don’t want to be a downtown, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver ¬ MTV party,” said Ignatieff. “I want to be a party that appeals to all Canadians.””
    Here is I-O-narcissist:
    >>> Quote: ““I want to be a party”.
    Alberta won’t let I-O in …. bbwaaahhaahhhahhhhaaaaahaaa …

  19. I for one, can not wait to see him play ball hockey. Hope it is as entertaining as the last liberal hopeful.

  20. Ignatieff bus tour,
    stay away from me-hee-hee,
    Ignatieff bus tour,
    it’s a mystery-hee-hee,
    Don’t want your fried octopus,
    Don’t want anyone from your bus
    comin’ round to my front door,
    cause I’m rollin’ on my floor.

  22. Iggy to Mechanic: So what seems to be the problem?
    Mechanic: Transmission.
    Iggy: What’s wrong with it?
    Mechanic: Well, these things are built sturdy all right; they’ll handle most kinds of shifts: down shifts, up shifts, shifts under trailer load, as well as shifting under acceleration while climbing. But, there is one kind of shift that these things just will not do.
    Iggy: What kind of shift is that?
    Mechanic: (Pauses)
    Iggy: Well, tell me.
    Mechanic (warily): Hmmm. You guys are Liberals, right?
    Iggy: Yes, what’s that got to do with it?
    Mechanic: You guys still trying to do the Green Shift?

  23. Weston!
    Brilliant!!
    But, I think they were actually trying to put the thing in reverse. They are having to back peddle so fast that they were not willing to wait until the unit was stopped.
    Then again, the Liberals do have a habit of looking in the rear view mirror all the time, so maybe the driver got confused as he was so used to driving backwards.

  24. Thanks, glacierman.
    On a serious note, I suppose I have a small amount of pity for the guy. His inexperience really shows. Take a look at the article that the SUN has up now at the first link in my 9:28 post.

    “I don’t want to be a downtown, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver ¬ MTV party,” said Ignatieff. “I want to be a party that appeals to all Canadians.”
    Ignatieff says when he returned to Canada and entered politics for the 2005 election, he started to notice the strong divide between the urban and rural parts of the country.
    “There was tremendous resentment in rural Canada,” he said. “A sense that they weren’t being listened to, a sense that the cities were driving the political agenda.”


    started to notice….
    was tremendous resentment
    Further, I suspect the Conservative Party will try to get video footage of the interview for the next election and play it in the major television markets of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver:
    “I don’t want to be a downtown, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver ¬ MTV party,” said Ignatieff.
    They will still vote for him, but their hearts won’t really be in it.
    He seems to be becoming a place-holder until the next leader is chosen.

  25. Brent @ 9:42, that was a great skit, although glacierman might be onto something. In any case the bus incident is just beautiful and I do not feel sorry for Mr. Iffy for one second. He had this coming with Hugo Chavez “sulfur” comment. The icing on the cake is the bus having to be towed to “Harper’s Diesel”.

  26. Well, Calgary has a Harper’s Tire shop. It’d be a real pity if Iggy’s Bus of Fools were to have tire trouble (nudge nudge, wink wink) on the outskirts of that fair city.

  27. Thanks, Ken. I would not want to suggest that I had so much pity for Iggy that I want him to be PM. No, not at all. I’ll try an analogy.
    Like most people, I enjoy a good animal story. It’s been several years since I read Jack London’s The Call of the Wild but I remember it. There is a part in the story where there is a fight to the death between the two dogs Buck and Spitz. Since Buck is the hero of the book, we know he will not lose. During the fight Buck stumbles momentarily and notices that the assembled crowd of other dogs was ready to turn on him. He uses this knowledge to change strategies in the fight, goes after Spitz’s front legs rather than his throat, and ends up breaking both of Spitz’s front legs. Once Spitz goes down, Buck moves out, and the pack moves in. One of the characteristics of a good writer is the ability to create images in the mind of his reader, and London is able to convey very aptly the swiftness and the viciousness of the pack as they waste no time on Spitz.
    In this analogy, I am not really sure who Buck is, but we know who the pack is and who Spitz is. Like Iggy, Spitz was not really likeable but Spitz’s end seemed especially vicious. No, it’s not that I really like Iggy; it’s that I like even less the way the Liberal insiders seem to be doing him in.
    Now, on the other hand, if you’re going to run with the big dogs…..

  28. I talked to my mom, who lives in Kingston, last night and was surprised to learn that she had lunch with Iggy at Chez Piggy. She said he was much nicer in person than the media have portrayed him.
    Now, my mom has voted both Blue and Red over her 80 years And while we disagree on Iggy, I think my mom represents the vanguard of middle class Canadians who think that PMSH is evil incarnate and can’t be trusted with a majority.

  29. Anybody that says to Westerners “Hey look and my new boots they are the best boots in Canada and they are made in Quebec” is beyond stupid. Next he will be in Quebec saying “Hey look at my maple Syrup it is the best and it is from Vermont.” Good Grief.

  30. I expect that Mr. Iffy is a decent person, but should never have let himself get sucked into being part of a party that no longer is what its name suggests. Classical liberalism in Canada died with Louie St. Laurent and has been taken over by a Marxist bastardization.

  31. You’re a kind-hearted man, Ken, but I myself am inclined to doubt that Ignorantforeigner is a decent man. Amongst the Liberals in his own riding association – the people that actually get him elected – he is normally referred to as “that reptile”. They know him better than you or I do, and they have every reason to want to think well of him, and they can’t bring themselves to do it.
    I actually have a high opinion of Ignorantforeigner. He had a non-trivial career in television and authorship, and moreover it was a career of a kind which would not have been open to him in Canada, and he had the sense to go where he could flourish. I respect someone who makes the most of his abilities, and for that matter I respect anyone who has abilities, and Ignorantforeigner qualifies on both grounds.
    But, that said, he’s an asshole. I actually respect him all the more for having achieved a valid career in a field where this did not hold him back. I wish more assholes would do that. But he’s completely unfit for politics, let alone for leadership. And I would not want to have to put up with the stink of him.
