On Mr. Ignatieff

... Mr. Ignatieff... another comical character in the endlessly entertaining parade of Liberal dilettantes and debutantes- who, after having sufficiently humiliated themselves, are quietly shuffled out the back door, their picture discretely cut out of the party's family album.
... The moral of the story being ... that if you do not enter politics with firmly-held principles, you end up a Liberal- a nervous nobody just standing in the middle of the road, like a deer caught in the headlights of history.
