Bionic Liberal: Say What You Like About Me But...

Q: Is the Bionic Liberal Pro-Ignatieff or Anti-Ignatieff?

A: It is both and neither. What a ridiculous question. Are you pro-yourself or anti-yourself? We each have our good days and bad days. All one can hope to do is have more good than bad or at least break even.

Q: Is this blog for or against the Liberal Party of Canada?

A: Seeking neither to please nor displease but merely expressing an individual point of view, this blog is following in the footsteps of what has long been a tradition of Canadian Liberalism, insomuch as a healthy disrespect for authority is always necessary for the health of our democracy. Draw your own conclusions from that, bearing in mind your mileage may vary.

Q: Are you an Iggy apologist?

A: There are many better suited than I for that task, assuming I even agree with the premise of that question, which is to say that any apologies are even indicated in this instance, not that I do for I may not.

Q: The original title of this blog was "So I'm an asshole. I won. Suck it up." Why did you change it? Are you less of an asshole now than you were then?

A: Good Lord no! But I do find myself becoming a more mellow asshole as time goes by.

Q: Why did you support the Iraq war?

A: Asked and answered. Next question.

Q: Do you advocate the use of torture?

A: Asked and answered. Now sod off.

Q: Why did you vote to support Stephen Harper 79 times in the house?

A: Why Don't you ask Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe that question? They were supporting Stephen Harper long before I ever came to Ottawa.

Q: Why don't you allow comments on your blog?

A: I have yet to be convinced that allowing comments is a wise policy but I will consider this issue very carefully and continue to take it under advisement. I have, in fact, initiated a study on the matter and Gerard Kennedy is preparing a report to be presented at a later date. However, when I see the linear thinking on display from some partisan quarters, I'm not sure I'd enjoy being a surrogate punching bag for the real Ignatieff. If I were to provide such a therapeutic service for the politcally unbalanced, I'd surely have to charge for it.

Q: Do you care about the polls?

A: Of course. Poland is one of the finest countries in the world and a friend to Canada.

Q: Do you care what the media says about you?

A: Why? What have you heard? Sorry, just having a laugh there. The media you say? Well, the only one I really care about is Chantal Hebert and she wounds me regularly but otherwise, no, don't care.

Q: Are you still friends with Bob Rae?

A: Bob who?

Q: Is there much tension between you and Stephane Dion?

A: Since Mr. Dion is no longer speaking to me, I have no idea what he thinks on the matter. No hard feelings on my part to be sure. No, that's not entirely true. A wee bit of hard feelings every once in a while. But not much. Really, I'm fine.

Q: Why do you sometimes refer to yourself in the third person?

A: I'm hoping if I say Ignatieff enough times people will stop calling me Iggy.

Q: Are you deliberately trying to sound elitist when you refer to yourself using the Royal We?

A: What the dickens are you on about? Elitist we certainly are not.

Q: Why do you sometimes sound like Yoda in your blog?

A: And bad thing why, sounding like Yoda is?

Q: Is Warren Kinsella really as scary as they say?

A: You have no idea.

Q: Why don't you talk about Mimi more?

A: If you yearn to hear more about my cat, go to my Twitter page. That's where I muse on more fanciful topics. This blog is reserved for serious politics only.

Q: How do you get your hair so nice?

A: I eat lots and lots of radishes.
