It seems it’s plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose for the federal Liberals.
Peter Donolo’s mission to tighten-up the badly listing Good Ship Liberal took an early blow today.
Seems yet another chapter in the interminable feud between Bob Rae and Michael Ignatieff was acted out in the Liberal caucus today. Caucus meetings are ultra-secret of course, yet we Canadians are privy to details of the Liberal bun-fight over Ignatieff's decision to not whip the gun registry vote courtesy of Jane Taber and a reliable anonymous Liberal source.
Some will argue that one leak on his second day is too quick to chastise Mr Donolo. But let’s face it, this one man's return to the ranks of Liberal staff has been more overhyped than the putrid final three Star Wars clunkers (even though the rumored Donolo collectors glasses at Burger King have yet to materialize).
In short, the criticism Donolo will face as Liberal fortunes continue to slide under Ignatieff comes in direct proportion to the hype that has accompanied his arrival.
And once again, Liberals only have themselves to blame.

And does it matter anymore? Given how politically close the Liberals and Conservatives have become it seems to make little difference anymore. Many people, including me, have suggested that their is a important stylistic difference but given that Liberal attacks on the NDP have been as tasteless and vulgar as the Conservative attacks on the Liberals, that even here the difference between the Cons and the Liberals is little more than cosmetic.
