Go Volpe!

Ask me if I'm tryna' kick knowledge
Nah, I'm tryna' kick the shit you need to learn though
That ether, that shit that make your soul burn slow
--Nas

Is anyone secretly pulling for Volpe to win?
MONCTON—Joe Volpe is spoiling to be the bad boy of the otherwise polite and low-key Liberal leadership race, now accusing his rival Michael Ignatieff of sharing the same politics as Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

[...]


Former public health minister Carolyn Bennett, also among 11 vying for the leadership title, said her views fall smack in the middle of rival Bob Rae, a former Ontario premier, and Ignatieff on the question of Afghanistan.

But on Volpe's provocation, she is unequivocal, saying he is becoming a problem for the contest and the party's reputation overall.

"I'm concerned that this is not what this (contest) is supposed to be about," she said, arguing Volpe was already tarred enough by the controversy over accepting $5,400 contributions from teenagers."

This guy is toxic. If Volpe wins, the Cons have their majority in a pinch because he's like the Liberal's wino: he reeks of all that is wrong with the party. Hell, even right now he's doing damage by being the most high profile contender/Librano in the race. Corrupt and an asshole to boot. Rings of Chretien, no?

It's the V-O-L-P-E man/Running up on troops in afghanistan/Foolish Lib/he ain't gon' make it, mang.
