Iggy Fiddles as Future Burns
You may remember several months ago when Ashley MacIsaac appeared on several K-Dough threads (click HERE) babbling mostly incomprehensible nonsense about wanting to run in the Liberal leadership race. Well, he pretty much disappeared after that little grease fire, but now he is back with a flaming vengeance. It looks as if he is dragging Michael Ignatieff down the proverbial hair-clogged drain pipe with him.
Yesterday, Iggy appeared on stage in Toronto with the precocious maritime nutter MacIsaac. Apparently, this availability was strategically designed to get youth to vote for Iggy. Brilliant campaigning wouldn't you say? I can see the headlines now "Harvard prof, distinguished author and hopeful next PM of Canada befriends BDSM loving, blathering, spit-chinned, bow dragger in bid to secure the stupid vote".
My question for you smarty-pantsed Iggy campers: What broad section of youth does Asher appeal to exactly? Who the hell under 25 even knows who he is? If you can't figure shit like this out, how do you expect to be able to run a national party? You're way out of touch kids.

I'm not sure that being "in touch" with kids really helps on a campaign... but clearly Ignatief has missed the A Train.
Clearly, kids are hip to bee-bop, not fiddle pop. Iggy should be strummin with Bird and Diz, not Ash...
This cat's creeping out like a shadow, man.
Surprisingly, I think they're a good match. I find Iggy quite fucking incoherent. The media has to put together a crack team of interpreters every time he makes an unfortunate statement, just to come to the conclusion he said something really stupid. Most of his statements are just over-intellectualized apologies for previous over-intellectualized stupid things he said. He's exhausting.
Can you imagine an e-mail exchange between him and Ash?
Dearest Leather is quite correct in stating Iggy is over-intellectualized. And in the spirit of keeping things simple, I'll leave it at that.
They should call him Eggy not Iggy, as in "I say, why you always reading all them long-haired books Eggy? You put them long-haired books down and listen!"- Foghorn Leghorn
My near-voting age daughter would be far more impressed if he's hooked up with, say, Hedley. I'll ask her if she knows who Ashley is. I'm sure her response with be a)Who? or b)Ewww,God, you don't like him, do you mom?
Guys, I hate the Ashley bashing. Though I have previously admitted my half-bohunkedness, Sheena now also admits to being half Cape Bretoner and well, you know how things are out there. Yep, he's a cousin.
Does this mean that Iggy and Ashely share an interest in water sports? Shh don't tell Cherniak
Cherniak only listens - with kaleidoscopic red swirly eyes- to his alien political masters anyways Eugene.
He doesn't pay attention to lowly bloggers like you and me.
Speaking of Cherniak...I just got an e-mail from him pleading for my support for Dion. Poor kid doesn't get it....once you've been smitten by Martha, there's no turning..
(I'm actually very afraid I will be nominated as a delegate...recent experience leads me to believe I will be surrounded by a sea of horrifyingly lonely, desperate people.)
I liked Martha best during the weekend debate coverage, and I know very little about her.
Rhino revival anyone?
Unfortunately I'm with you J-Dog. I'm doing this for the experience, and I'm really a huge fan of Martha, but realistically she hasn't got a snow-balls chance. (Even worse, once she inevitably has to throw her support behind someone else, I'll be at the barf basin alongside you.)
I did however, have the pleasure of telling a Scott Brison campaigner "are u happy? I'm not."
As a teen who can vote, I tell you that I don't know Ashley, only heard about him here and never listened to single song of his.
Also I can say this for people under 20. Most of them are not into politics so they probably skip voting too unless somebody tells them a hundred times that go vote today, others who do vote have a working brain to know not to fall for that kind of thing.
Iggy is a diasaster waiting to befall the Liberal Party. Let's hope it's Kennedy or Dion.
