You owe it to yourself to check out the audio from Ottawa Citizen on their editorial team interviewing Stephane Dion. Let's just say they were not impressed and with good reason. Check out Blue Blogging Soapbox for more detail. I did listen to the interview and it is painful.
I must say he was much better when I interviewed him during the leadership campaign. Maybe because I tried to give things brief.

This is not good. Just-watch-me Jr. isn’t ready yet to step in and save Canadians from backsliding into personal responsibility and free enterprise. Still building his power base among blue hairs, old hippies and urban poofs. They’ll have to patch up Dion and keep him rolling along for another 2-3 years.

“Oh my!” I love Dick Engerg. I used to get teased by people who didn’t understand the reference. They thought I was trying to be like Shakespeare or something. “Oh my!” One of the greats.

The Ottawa Citizen editorial board didn’t like someone who is not a Conservative? You have got to be kidding me? I would never have guessed that in a million years?
Next thing you know you’ll tell me they give prominent editorial space 4 times a week to right wing blow-hards like David Warren.
Oh, wait….

FWIW I don’t particularly like Dion either, but it would have been news if the Citizen board DID like him…That newspaper ought to put the CPC symbol in its masthead, just so its obvious.

Mike is wrong.
Thank you,
the management.

I’m listening to more of that interview. Dion just admitted that his targets for emissions weren’t demanding enough, and then he goes on to blame Harper for not improving them.
Does this guy even have a clue?

“right wing blow-hards like David Warren”
For extra credit, please give an example of a conservative commentator who is not a “blow-hard”
Just so we know you can. Show your work. Neatness counts.

Chester,
Exactly how?
thank you, the Union.
Alan,
Actually, Randal Denley, the author of this one, is usually pretty good. And Don Martin out in Calgary is usually fairly decent too, even when he’s not being kind to the NDP.
If I remember from your old site, you were a bit of a Warren fan-boy. Well sorry if I upset your sensibilities on this.
Of course, the entire point that the Citizen is a CPC-supporting paper of the right, so it is no surprise they don’t like Dion. As a resident of Ottawa, I’m still not sure how any of this is ‘news’. It certainly doesn’t deserve a Dick Enberg ‘Oh My!’.

Oh. I’m sorry, you were doing well there until that last bit. While I concede that Warren does have his (infrequent) moments of lucidity, he is by no stretch of even the most feverish imagination a conservative anything.
