Round III

Meeting at Sussex has wrapped up. The Prime Minister and Mr. Ignatieff will talk again in the morning. No word on whether a sleepover is involved.

The official statement from the Liberal side confirms that this second meeting was also “productive.” The Prime Minister’s spokesman seconds this adjective.

Good lord, have these men never heard of coffee or Red Bull?

They don't have any espresso at 24 Sussex, so Iggy refused to work late.

From what I understand, Harper's hair needs to be off his head by 8:00 for the night crew to strip, varnish and buff for the next day. Also, I think he smiled twice today, so his face must be exhausted.

Iggy was likely overdue for his forehead Botox injection from John Kerrey.

Or, Harper's drawing things out a bit so there's no speculation he was curt and dickish about things. Also a sensible move.

Sometimes, though, I miss the Mulroney approach where negotiations resembled something of a hostage situation.
