Here is how David Frum analyzes the Michaelle Jean situation.
...As it is, the Jean appointment is turning into a classic Paul Martin botch-up. First comes the bold, visionary announcement: An agenda for the cities! Redressing the democratic deficit! Canada's first black Governor General! Then comes the cold shock of reality. The Martinites next try to bluff their way through by demanding that Canadians trust them (that's the stage we're at now). Then they're caught lying. Then they call their opponents nasty names, cut ditry deals, and violate constitutional rules all to escape the mess they themselves created by their own weird combination of vanity and fecklessness.
David Frum asks if Martin has finally gone too far. Judging by the latest polls it is not likely.
