Come on, Tim. Get a life.

Tim Powers is The Con Sage and the greatest thinker to come out of Newfoundland since... Rex Murphy.  He is also a wonderfully witty writer.  Take his most recent missive as an example.  In it he figures that Iggy needs a bigger hug than the one he got from some day-care kids to whom he was reading.  Hillarious stuff, eh what?

He then goes on to compare Iggy to the boy who cried wolf.  Hahaha.  Side splitting repartee that.  His old boss John "Joke a Minute" Crosbie must be spilling his martini when Timmy opens his mouth.

According to Tim, before he got into politics and business, he used to play high-end competitive rugby.  Must of had his fair share of concussions.  Could explain his illusions of grandeur.

What an ass!

Con mouthpiece Tim Powers steps in it -- yet again

In a piece defending the fact that Harper was not met at the White House door by Obama, Powers says this,

"The “nothing better to do society” has contrived that Canada has been snubbed because the President didn’t answer the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Yup, gotta be that. God forbid the President was actually working on, oh say, fighting a war in Afghanistan, plotting economic recovery or maybe trying to sell health care. Damn it, he should have answered the door!"

Have to agree with Tim on one account.  The President was probably working on domestic affair, as he should.

However Tim also raises the question of; Why was Harper in Washington when we have our own war, economic and health care issues up here in Canada?  Not to mention body bags, drunk pot-head former MPs, etc. etc.

Eat them words, Powers

On August 16, 2007, Con spindoc, Tim Powers, penned these words for the Hill Times:

"While the country's economy is going gangbusters, while separatism is a distant memory, and while we enjoy comparative social harmony, this PMO gets little credit for any of it. It has to be pretty frustrating."

Eighteen months later the economy is in the toilet, separatism is on the rise due to Harper's tirade against the BQ and the country has never be more polarize since... I don't remember when.

So what does Tim say now?  "-------"  He's got nothing to say.   Can't you even find a way to blame this on Ignatieff?
