Last October I ran a poll: What is the dumbest thing Ignatieff has said since joining the Liberal Party? Being as how that was nearly nine months ago and there have been plenty of stupid statements since, I should update the options and run the poll again. Some of the new entries "you can smell the whiff of sulphur on the guy", or his insight on seal meat "it tastes meaty", or if elected Prime Minister he'd like to live in a hotel, or proclaiming "Parliament is the sovereign" during prorogation before being the 2nd most truant MP in the next session. There was the quote during Thinkapalooza when he encouraged us to export our most skilled workers to foreign countries. Then there was the time Helena Guergis apologized for her screw up of the day and Iggy said "Canadians don't get to say I'm sorry".
We have lots to work with here. What am I missing?
What is the dumbest thing Ignatieff has said since joining the Liberal Party?
"If you mess with me, I will mess with you until I'm done!" (35%)
"The government is sending the message that they want aboriginals to die." (32%)
"Mr. Harper, your time is up!" (18%)
"A coalition if necessary, but not necessarily a coalition." (10%)
"These are the best cowboy boots in Canada, and they were made in Quebec" said to a crowd at the Calgary Stampede. Yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAnon, what's even stupider is that he said it a stone's throw away from the Alberta Boot Company.
