-- OTTAWA -- Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff offered unexpected praise for Brian Mulroney Monday and criticized Stephen Harper for failing to show the veteran Tory due respect – comments calculated to exploit unprecedented public bickering in Conservative government ranks over the former prime minister.This one obviously speaks to the Puffin King's elastic principles.
Mr. Ignatieff said he even sent the former prime minister 70th birthday congratulations, noting Mr. Mulroney achieved a magnitude of victory that's so far eluded Mr. Harper.
You think Iggy will be out there offering moral support to Mr Mulroney... at Barnum, Bailey and Schreiber?
Let the games begin.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Puff piece (puffin piece?) on Iggy on CBC news last night about his courting the West. He was answering questions in a high school, the usual site when you can't draw a crowd elsewhere (no mention of that by the reporter)."**********
"Westerners were portrayed as irrational, visceral voters for the Conservatives. Iggy was given high marks for trying to talk to these strange people."
LAST WORD: Known & loved worldwide
