Iggy: Going into Rooms
May 20, 2010 - 7:14pm
Michael Ignatieff appears to be so disconnected from reality that he is now talking like he is starring in his very own play by Samuel Beckett.
“My popularity goes up, my popularity goes down. And what I do about it is I go into rooms,” he said.
“I go into rooms like the room I have just been in. I listen to Canadians. I take unscripted questions,” he said, noting the Prime Minister runs controlled events with pre-approved questions such as once this week with students preparing a G8/G20 youth summit.
I can just hear the echoes inside Iggy's head: I can't go on! I must go on!
Even for Count Chocula, this a new level of surreality. "I go into rooms," has an almost zen-like quality to it.
One of the pundits on P&P made a remark that Iggy can always go back to his castle in France. Was that for real?
ETA: Nemmind, I just googled it: Michael Ignatieff's Provence retreat is modest among the millionaires
I can't let this gem pass:
One of the bookcases included a small TV that was connected to a satellite on the villa's clay-tiled roof.
I wonder what a satellite is doing on the roof rather than in orbit. But who are we to understand the mysterious ways of Iggy?
I'm sure the report meant a satellite dish.
