The Liberal Leadership was looking like it was first come, first serve as far as finding a leader goes. But they still couldn't find anybody. Rick Mercer came up with the bright idea of trying to sell the leadership over eBay, which kind of backfired when the price rose to over $15 million, and since eBay charges the seller a percentage of the selling price, Rick was out a fair bit of money. I'm not sure if the winning bidder actually paid up or not though. But Rick is still a cool guy... (I have to be nice to him because I know he occasionally reads this blog).But today, the Liberals got another serious candidate, Stephan Dion, current foreign affairs critic and ten year veteran of the house of commons. He joins Toronto lawyer Martha Hall Findlay and former cities minister John Godfrey as candidates for the leadership. Looks like we finally got a race on our hands.
But just look at that picture! Man, can you imagine the debates where we gotta stare at the blank, expressionless face of Stephen Harper, and now this new Dion guy. No wonder people find politics are so boring. Too bad we don't have good ol' Jean anymore, with his crazy accent and screwed up face. Now that made politics entertaining.
