Joan Tintor, the font of knowledge and information that she is, has thrown together a hit parade of (now) totally erroneous and embarassing quotes and predictions about what Paul Martin's reign would look like. It's pretty funny. Seems like yesterday that we all thought he was headed for a 200-seat majority and an eradication of the Bloc in Quebec.
I remember a conversation I had with Tom Long about Martin about three years ago. Everyone at the time knew Martin would be the next Prime Minister. "Just wait," Tom said. "I think Martin has a glass jaw, and when someone hits him, it's gonna break." I dismissed it at the time as wishful thinking. As usual, Tom was right.
Paul Martin is just as much the story of this campaign as Stephen Harper. How anyone who spent 40 years of their life planning for a job and then not have a clue what to do once attaining it seems beyond comprehension. But it happened. Right here. In Canada. I'm not making this up. And I promise, that's the last Liberal ad parody.
