The National Post, more bewildering than usual...

Or maybe it's just Canadian politics that are starting to get a little goofy, as the summer silly season comes upon us.

Certainly only in a farcical, amnesiac, ahistorical era like ours would it be possible to believe, and get others to believe, that you can become a Natural Governing Party in 18 months and with 35% support.

I also thought Conservative strategists liked the fact that Stephane Dion has been getting a lot of media attention of late. Do they really believe that any publicity is good publicity? Are they worried that, sooner or later, their snowjob will cease to be effective? Are they just plain ol' spinning the Post? Who knows....Maybe the Prime Minister's wardrobe consultant/palm reader will tell us - she's probably the most put together person in the Prime Minister's Office.
