And here's Bob

Given that Bob Rae is about to join the Liberal Express tour at the next stop in Ajax (and yes, we'll be asking him about this story too), a little anecdote from last night: 

Ignatieff was just settling into the patio with reporters and a beer in front of him, when a local fellow came up to say hello. He introduced himself as the brother of a man who had gone to school many years ago with Ignatieff and Rae. He gave the name of his brother, and Ignatieff said: "Ah yes. I do remember him. Hey, do you happen to know what ever became of that Rae fellow?" 

The man laughed, turned and walked away. As he departed, he said over his shoulder: "I'm a Conservative, by the way."

That's cute.
Ignatieff should know as he meets the Canadians. There are Conservatives everywhere across Canada. We vote and have opinions too.

Asking Rae about that silly story is to easy of a question.

I think it would be more interesting to ask Rae what he thought about the Liberals unwillingness to split up the non-budget parts from the budget bill.

It may be harder for him to answer and would be more relevant to Canadian's lives.

Oh for heavens sake. If Ignatief leaves politics he might get a job - holy, moly.

Same with Harper, Layton and Duceppe.

This is pitiful

Oh yeah Bobby Rae will admit to being behind Travers story. Talk about sad journalism but what the hell Susan the cookies and donuts are coming again


Ask Bob what he thinks of Bill C-6 or Bill C-474?

Or how about if the budget bill was so terrible,
why the Liberals in the House and Senate couldn't muster up,
enough to turn them down?

Then ask him if he plans on running for leadership of the Liberal party after the next election?

Or ask him some important stuff, like if he knows any good bus riding songs.
