Forward in productivity

by Aaron Wherry on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 10:09pm - 6 Comments

It’s really not much fun until an anonymous senior Liberal is cited, though in this case the comment may already be moot. More important, we learn a bit more about what we are to understand from the word productive.

A senior Liberal echoed the sentiment, saying Mr. Harper and Mr. Ignatieff had found common ground after the first meeting, but that a few issues have yet to be ironed out. “If more can be done, then they’re on the right track,” said a Liberal source.

“‘Productive’ typically means forward,” added Jill Fairbrother, a spokesman for the Liberal leader.

    Say it with me, y'all: . . . and always, twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

    If more can't be done are they OFF the track? Or at the end of the track?

    I want them to be off-track.

    Can't have an election. All the stimulatin' prison construction will grind to a halt.

    In Harper's hand: Two pairs, holding the stimulus package hostage in the event of an election.

    In Ignatieff's hand: Three of a kind, dangling the no-confidence vote for everyone to see then raising a compromise with 4 possible grounds.

    Who's bluffing who?

    I would have gone with "constructive"
