Ignatieff, What a Putz

Now, I don't, generally, disagree too vehemently with Jay Currie. Hell, I wouldn't have put him in my blogroll if I thought he were an idiot, but I gotta take issue here.

Once upon a time Currie was, rightly, castigating the Harper "Conservatives" for their Liberal ways and opined that, since the "conservatives" were behaving like Liberals, if he had to take stuffy, pompous Harper, or his Liberal counterparts, he'd take the Ignatieff Liberals. At least, he reasoned, Ignatieff had style.

Yes, Mr. Currie, it turns out that Ignatieff does have style. I mean, gawky, pompous, whiny, deer-in-the-headlights, political naif is a style. I'm just thinking that it's really not what you meant when you suggested that he has style.

What prompted this little rant? This week's second reading of the bill to repeal the gun registry. Saw Mr. Ignatieff on the news whining about the evil conservatives politicizing the gun registry.

Guess what, moron, it was your incompetent, corrupt Cretinite predecessors who wrote the law in the first place. That would be the act that brought it into the political sphere, dare I say, politicizing it.

Get this through your thick, tourist head Mr. Ignatieff, between 1 and 2 BILLION dollars have been wasted getting farmers to register their gopher guns. Also, see if you can drive this through your thick skull, criminals break the law, it's the unique property that makes them criminals (use a pound sledge hammer if you think it will help). I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, the street gangs and biker gangs who account for most of the gun crime (pre - you didn't register your squirrel rifle, off to jail with you farmer brown) aren't going to register their guns.

Oh, and, btw, the guns most frequently used in crime, handguns, already required registration. So, please, either (a) get a clue or (b) get off your whiny, pompous, faux outrage high horse. This country has serious problems, and we need a serious oppostition leader. And if you can't handle the job, Power Corps will give it to Bob Rae, and we REALLY don't need a Canada level rerun of the disaster that was his premiership.
