The first was the CTV interview where Stéphane Dion shows that he truly does not have a clear understanding of English. He could not formulate a good answer after three tries. He should have three strikes and he is out! Imagine this happening on a world stage? Canada would be the laughing stock of the globe. The Liberals are claiming a hearing impairment, but this does not pan out. He heard the question just fine three times, but just did not understand. Dion was so focussed on his thirty day "plan", he could not think of the hypothetical situation of being in the Prime Minister's shoes during this financial crisis.
The second occurred in Halifax at Stephane Dion's speech to the chamber of commerce. The teleprompter malfunctioned and Dion proved to be helpless.
"Thank you very much, um ... Thank you. Uh, and thank you also. Thank you, Valerie. I think exactly like ... I will speak with my heart, okay?"
"Thank you Valerie. Thank you so much because what you have as an agenda is at the core of a plan that Scotch, um, Scott has shown, a plan that want development and for the next generations as well, build on the economy and environment together."

Stephen Harper is looking more and more like a Prime Minister. One can only hope that the country gives him the majority he deserves.

We know this is not like a character on the Simpsons; he is sounding more like Sarah Palin in the interviews with Katie Couric. Two politicians that get very confused if they get off their talking points.
At least Palin is easier to look at. I care more about the fact that Dion could be Canada's PM.
