"Moi always knew that Moi was destined for le top"

Now that McKenna and Tobin are out of the running for le top spot with the Liberals, is McPiggy in?



During the 2004 Conservative leadership bid, I conjured up a random conspiracy theory about Tony Clement (who, did you know, was born "Tony Panayi"? Yep. Greek-Cypriot father. Interesting, eh? Can't wait to use that the next time I hear someone talk about him as an Italian, as I heard many times over the election: "Clement...yeah, it's Italian. It was probably Clemenza, y'know, like from The Godfather." Yeah. Juuuust like The Godfather).

Anyway. You might recall that he took only 9% of the vote, but that was enough to undercut Belinda's bid for the job. At the time I had this idea (er, random conspiracy theory) that Harper's Ontario dudes convinced Tony to run to split the Ontario vote.

Wonder if Tony will get a seat in the cabinet?

But I digress.

If Belinda runs to lead the Liberals, I'll have to work on a new RCT related to Belinda-blocking. I'm sure John "Beeker" Manley will figure into this commedia della politica soon enough.
