Bob Rae is the finest Parliamentarian I have ever seen -- regardless of politics he is a master of the legislature and house. The Liberal Team is critical to this election
By Julian Beltrame, The Canadian Press
OTTAWA - A combative Stephane Dion took aim at both his chief political rival and critics from his own party Tuesday with a salvo designed to make virtues of his two greatest weaknesses - his unpopularity and halting English.
Dion appeared at a rally in Halifax flanked by Bob Rae, a leading light in the party and former leadership hopeful, to highlight the strength of his team in contrast to Stephen Harper's one-man campaign.
And he tackled his language problem head on, saying his English may be poor but his words ring true - unlike those of the well-spoken Conservative leader.
"Mr. Harper, he speaks better English than me, OK. But I speak the truth better than him in English and in French."

And yet today, I saw Bob Rae give a rousing speech that should have been given by Dion. But it wasn't. People notice these things and today, I'll bet that backroom Liberal muttering just got louder - Dion the supposed leader needs rescuing from the people who would lead in truth.
blah, blah, lycan. You posted the same thing at Far and Wide.
As to the post, wasn't that a great line?

REALLY??????????? Is that a serious statement. Hello, did you LIVE in Ontario in the 90s?
Yes, I did live here. I'm not saying I liked the NDP government -- I'm talking about the skills as a MPP
Actually Gilles Duceppe is one of the better parliamentarians and federal leader of the new "nation of the Quebecbois". I have no respect for ,'Sunday shopping isn't work', Bob Rae regardless of how well he speaks.He was the NDP leader now a Liberal because the NDP are washed-up and he knows it.
Typical Liberal though.
