Seriously?

Never having been caught up in the Paul Martin will be the best Prime Minister ever crowd (seriously ask any old school young liberal from NB), I wasn't surprised that he didn't exactly meet those expectations (to be nice). However, when they said that they were going to have a tribute to Martin at the liberal convention I really thought maybe they could put all that crap behind them but clearly, from the sad, sad, show they put on they have not. I actually felt bad for Martin. I mean seriously Mark Tewksbury?!? (Yes, I was watching this on CPAC during breaks of SCRUBS! and grey's anatomy...and, yes, I realize this makes me a loser but seriously it was like a car crash I kept waiting for it not be awful). The only saving moment I caught was Romeo Dallaire, and it's pretty bad when Romeo Dallaire can't even pick an event up that much - I mean it's Romeo Dallaire. Gosh. Now back to Tewksbury, seriously? I mean sure the guy can swim, good on him, I cheered him along during the Barcelona games but come on...a beaver? And, as Paul Wells snarkily noted: "8:30 p.m.
For extra fun, come around backstage after the show. Mark Tewksbury and Gerard Kennedy are going to take a Grade 5 French exam." Ouch. The only better burn of the evening - Jean Chretien - showing up to the convention... tomorrow. Ohhh.

Okay back to complaining about how much my head hurts (turns out what I figured was a brain tumor because it hurt so much is a sinus infection, or so says the Doctor who touched my cheek and looked in one of my ears and then pushed some pills on me...sigh).

Oh...In other news, I seriously hope that Canadian politics turns out a surprise for once and that Ignatieff does not win. He is not cool in my books (shock to the 4 of you who read this I'm sure you've heard at least 12 of my Ignatieff rants).
