Great idea, boss

Here is a little snippet of audio from today's session by Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and his finance critic, Scott Brison, during a conference by the Victorian Order of Nurses.  Brisonignatieff

This (link below) was the closing minute, after an hour of really smart questions from the crowd. It's worth listening to the tape right to the end to hear how Ignatieff thanks Brison for his words of praise. I'm still laughing about this, three hours later.

 p.s. By the way, for the potentially humourless out there, it was a joke. Ignatieff went on to say that he has immense fondness and respect for Brison.

Love, it....2 guys who obviously respect and like each other...able to kibbitz and poke fun ...no in your face confrontations and chest beating like the Cons so like to do....

When it comes to words of praise from the boss, it's hard to top those that come from the Big Boss himself ( http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/876991--vatican-newspaper-praises-homer-simpson ) I read the bible once... looking for loopholes. Doh !!!

The Harper Conservative's idea of power and politics and praise once again falls short of the obtuse, and, remains a distant second to that of the great pearl of wisdom of the "Don't feed the bears campaign" ( http://fairwhistleblower.ca/content/power-and-politics-sean-bruyea-gets-apology ) ... It's hard to imagine how they got voted into power in the first place, however, explains why suppositories include the instructions "do not take this medication orally.
