Obviously, the poor man has a poor grasp on the English language. Therefor, I say all criticism fall under the category of “racism.”
Watch your back Mayor.

“can I start again?”…I’m certain Mrs. Dion hears that from the boy all the time.

For once in my life, I actually feel bad for a journalist.
I think this Dion dumbass has a poor grasp on giving honest answers to very clear questions.
He’d fit right in the Democrat Party down south.

When Chretien confused someone saying drugs with trucks thats a niot understanding/language barrier this is not if he’s so worried about his hearing why doesn’t he carry a white board so people can write their questions down on it?
I think his hearing works better in the province that will remember.
When he says well am I PM for 6 months or 80 days and stumbles repeatedly it’s clear he understands the question but he doesn’t know what to say.
The rest is more BS than the telemarketers working for fenris can sell.
I wonder how many other interviews have been so botched but no one is showing.
I guess CTV were a little concerned about their retirement if they didn’t show it.

I bet Layton could give a better answer and that to me is scary.

Dang, beat me to it Mayor. The Liberal hack on Mike Duffy live had a novel way to spin this at about the 1:20 mark — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUNrP4MvfBk
For American readers the Bob Stanfield reference is very obscure. From the web:
In the federal election of 1974, a controversial photo of Stanfield fumbling a football catch at a political event became one of the defining images of his later career, contrasting badly against the more vibrant and youthful image presented by Liberal leader Pierre Trudeau. To this day, Canadian political commentators still point to this incident as one of Canada’s foremost examples of “image politics”, because this one photo was chosen for the front pages of newspapers across Canada even though many other photos of Stanfield (in fact, a fairly athletic man for his age) catching the same football were also available.

Great points, one and all. It’s really interesting to see the liberal media spin on this. As Fenris told me way back when–the media gloat that they are worth 10-15 points in any election.
