Angry in the Great White North

Diane Marleau told Liberals this last week to stop sniping at Stephane Dion and to stop whispering to the media:

Liberal MPs got a short but pointed lecture Wednesday about the havoc loose lips can wreak on a political party and its leader as they continue to languish in opinion polls.

Sudbury MP Diane Marleau went to the microphone during a closed-door caucus meeting and, according to insiders, asked all those who wanted to lose the next election to raise their hands.

Not one hand went up.

"If that’s the case," Marleau reportedly said, "you all need to shut ... up."

After a brief silence, the assembled MPs and senators gave Marleau a standing ovation.

Her terse tongue-lashing followed several weeks of griping from mostly anonymous Liberals about their novice leader, Stephane Dion. The grumblers have questioned Dion’s political skills, his judgment in entering into a non-compete agreement with Green Leader Elizabeth May, his choice of staff, and stagnant poll numbers.

Funny how I should have decided to look into the background of Stephane Dion's Edmonton-area campaign manager and now Liberal Party candidate Farhan Chak, exposing his controversial conspiracy theories.
