It’s indeed Dion redux. Ignatieff is an English-speaking version of the former. They are both brilliant academics in their fields, but it just proves, again, that intellect and education alone will not a politician make; no matter how sincere and dedicated they are. You need bravura as well as brains, and in our age of instant TV news clips and the YouTube, you need a certain amount of élan and verve; eloquence and joviality. They had just such a candidate in Bob Rae, but they chose the bland and jejune over vivacity and eloquence. The Liberals ought to have learned that lesson with Dion, but no, they went after another academic.
As they say in baseball: three strikes and you’re out!” They’d better hope that Harper self-destruct, because I don’t think that Ignatieff is up to the task.
