Paranoid

There is no "I" in team. But you'll find D-I-O-N in paranoid.

Apparently, as he single-handedly 'did the Clarity Act' and 'saved the Kyoto Protocol', mild mannered, bookish, Stephane Dion, donned a cape and tights and became -- SUPER-DION -- a mild-mannered, bookish superhero who managed to thwart nefarious adversaries, repel all sorts of furtive enemies and some really mean anonymous guys-- all of whom were intent on destroying Canada and the world.
"When I did the Clarity Act, I had a lot of anonymous sources against me," Dion said. "When I saved the Kyoto protocol I had a lot of anonymous sources against me. A lot."
Dion's vocabulary is peppered with references to Harper and the pronoun "I". That's all he has. That, and an ego the size of France and enough paranoia to further deflate a flagging campaign.

M. Dion seems to be taking lessons from a certain Liberal-come-lately MP from just outside of T.O. and who shall remain nameless on this blog. Paranoia is not appealing in a leader and neither is overstating one's participation in events or self-aggrandizement. Maybe someone should tell Stephane. Better yet, maybe they should just let him keep talking-- after all, he knows everything.

He reminds me of a certain someone --who must also remain nameless-- who claims to be saving us all on this planet and invented the Internet.

The press said it best... he's like the professor on gilligans island... always inventing things out of coconuts and shoe strings to test out on everyone else ... but at the end of the day he couldn't invent a way to get out of a wet paper bag with a pair of sisors, a boat anchor, a carving knife, or an open flame... he'd end up with the sisors stuck in his back, the anchor around his neck, carving knofe stuck in his chest, and his hair on fire from the open flame like a bad pepsi commercial...

I forgot to say two more things:
1. it's good to have you back posting.

2. "...you'll find D-I-O-N in paranoid." A priceless line!

Agreed! Welcome back!
And you mentioned the 'press' describing Dion that way. Interesting, I heard the Little Prof pat himself on the back for the Clarity Act on radio, and of course no mention of any clarification on the facts...that Stephen Harper should be credited with the Clarity Act.Is the press historically challenged?
Another free pass from CBC.
