Is Hanoi Jane Taber...

...floating a trial balloon for Stephane Dion?

If so... its name may be Hindenburg.
Over the weekend, Mr. Dion told one defeated candidate to “stay strong and trim and be ready,” surmising that the budget that the Harper Conservatives deliver in February “is going to be a mess.”

The Harper Tories were held to a minority government last Tuesday and a budget vote is a confidence matter that could bring down the government.

“He didn't sound like someone who is leaving,” a senior Liberal source said.

RELATED: From the obituary page...
"Stephane is politically survived by a bankrupt party, his professorial pals Bob and Iggy, Jane Taber, Craig Oliver, Jim Travers and TorStar (for now), Justin Trudeau, Warren Kinsella and a myriad of socialist Canadians who are entitled to their entitlements."

"He will be sadly missed by both large and small C conservatives alike."

LAST WORD: Best comment bar none...

...on Dion's self-imposed exile at Stornoway this last week...
"For most people, this triggers a visit from a hostage negotiator."
