Thanks.
Sun really needs to turf Akin and his dry as a popcorn fart show and give that slot to Robson!
“He does doesn’t. He wants less more”. It rolls out like he rehearsed it for hours everyday.
Sun needs to bring back Theo Caldwell. He was by far the brightest and hardest hitting star they had.
Can’t a guy take holidays?
haven’t been able to get any Sun News Network videos to play on any of our computers here since the day they started…yes I know I am technically challenged…
have to wait until somebody youtubes it for me I guess…
Soccermom – I bat about 50-50 getting Sun News, you just have to keep trying; I suspect their server may be unable to keep up with the demand.
Robson’s definitely the thinking wo/man’s commentator. His rapid-fire, on-target, drily humorous delivery is delightful. I’m just glad that the regulars call on his opinions so often.
My favourite was when he called Bob Rae’s comments “appalling blither” and then said about the man’s pompous ideological pronouncements: [it’s] “babbling vacuity delivered in that tone of self-righteous indignation which has characterized Bob Rae from the first moment he saw a camera.”
Touché, Mr. Robson!
Thanks AtlanticJim and Aviator….
Watched SDAMatt’s youtube clip. Yes, Rae and Obama are economic numbskulls…but the thing that sticks in my mind is the sight of the entire Liberal caucus always following their leader around like they are chained together, or perhaps they are like the stinky cloud of dust that always surrounds Pig Pen (from Charlie Brown)…Really, if they want to renew their party, having someone like Judy Sgro stick her turkey neck in every leader scrum is not helping them, just saying..they haven’t changed a bit.
At least their puny caucus is easier to do this with now…and no fighting for screen time like Scooter Brison always seems to do…
Soccermom: I find this irksome too, ” … the sight of the entire Liberal caucus always following their leader around like they are chained together …”
Trying to beef up his presence is a Bob Rae conceit that looks absolutely ridiculous. He’d have more gravitas if he appeared alone (and shut his mouth!), especially as the woman to his right and behind Judy Sgro (to the left @ 5:27 in the SunTV video), with long dark hair, white dangly earrings, and wearing a white shirt is none other than Rae’s wife, Arlene Perly Rae!!!!
That blows his cred.
Arlene Perly Rae….haha, I thought I should have known who she was!!! so pathetic.
This phenomenon (the lib caucus travelling to pressers in unison) has been standard for them since the days of Pauly Martin. Shows the leader is weak. Heck, they look like they are still in campaign mode! Newsflash to Liberals, AKA “da turd partee”: YOU LOST!
That group of people around Rae is his Politburo. Glad you finally got to see the video clip. Isn’t that group almost half of their representation?
Isn’t Arley Perly Maurice Strong’s daughter? Mo is keeping track of Bobby or else feeding his speaker.
Killer line to finish on.
No, Ken, Perly Rae isn’t Mo Strong’s daugther. I believe she’s from the family that publishes the Perly Maps, though I’m not 100% sure about that.
Mo Strong, however, is Bob Rae’s “uncle.” Strong was such a good friend of the Rae family that the Rae children called him “Uncle Mo.” John Rae’s brother, John, is a Vice-President of Power Corporation and a prominent member of the Liberal Party, and was an adviser to Jean Chrétien from 1993 to 2003.
Circles within circles.
