I only ask because it reads the way he would say it.
Check out the homepage. Here's a screen capture:
Oh dear, have we been esposed? We must limit our esposure! Quickly, espedite the elimination of the esposure before voters espress their displeasure! Perhaps the person writing the headline is an espatriot, esported from another country, and so has trouble with espelling.
OK, that's enough. The jokes could go on esponentially.

Its not just the spelling error, the grammar is terrible too. How does"economic" modify "record of dishonesty"? Are they describing a "record of dishonesty" that is efficient? I imagine they mean a "record of dishonesty" apropos the economy but it certainly doesn't read that way.
The more I see of of this particular Liberal team the more I am certain that Dion did not run to win the leadership. He is too unprepared for the job. He probably ran to enhance is reputation in the party. No-one who actually wanted to be leader and actually believed they could win could be so incompetent. No leadership, no organization, no platform, nothing at all. Kennedy took french lessons. Presumably so he could ask for Quebecois votes without looking like an idiot. Did Dion not understand he needed votes from English speakers?
Personally, the only Liberal that scares me is Ignatieff. He may have "foot in mouth" disease but the man has presence, intelligence, and might try and be a leader.

Hey, geniuses -- ever think that they may be plotting this?
Headline:
Conservatives make fun of Dion's English.
Now, where do you think that headline would be "not amusing"?
Let's see --- 75 ridings in Quebec, 25-30 ridings in Ontario, 10-15 ridings out West, and 2-5 ridings in Atlantic Canada.
In other words, just about every riding Harper doesn't have, and just about every voting group that traditionally does not vote for the Tories, would not be amused by a bunch of whitey-white-lardbutts making fun of nerdy-Dion.
So keep it up boys. Dig the hole a little deeper for poor ol' Harper.

Who was that racist flamewar starter? Last time I checked Dion was whitey-white too.
The worst part of the liberal party has taken over. At least with Martin you could guarantee that while they would talk about such nonsense terms like "social justice" they wouldn't do anything bad to the economy.
Just watch, with Dion at the Canadian helm Bob Rae is going to look like Milton Friedman.

I think Dion must be writing the news at CTV.ca, too.

1) "who are don't want to combat terrorism." ... that wasn't a quote. Ouch.
2) Love the Liberals taking offence at someone calling them "extreme." Hmmm... Is that worse than running commercials in which you declare that a political opponent, if elected, will turn the Canadian army against Canadian citizens? So much cred... not.
3) Wappel was the only Liberal with enough spine to actually show up and vote to extend the anti-terrorism measures that the LIBERALS crafted and passed just a few years ago. Tom Wappel is the only Liberal who isn't a nutter. The Liberals have officially moved to Bizarroland.

My recollection is that the "Soldiers" ad never ran on TV - it was released onto the internet and then pulled when the Liberal brains trust realized just what a disaster it was. It was the bloggers / YouTubers who brought it into prominence.

Espose = Bad Liberal grammar
Conservatives' = Bad Liberal punctuation
Dishonesty = Bad Liberal record
Dion = Bad Liberal leader

No comment on your fascist leader's rebuke by the Canadian Supreme Court, 9-ZIP, surely you must share the Supreme Court's opinion of the government's attempt to bastardize the notion of habaes corpus?
. . . then again . . . maybe not
. . . smells like a pig farm here . . .

Uhh, Ryan, do a little research before you open your mouth. That law was in place since 1978, you moron, put in place by that fascist Pierre Trudeau.. Guess you should have stayed in that Ivy League school.

I was shocked (ok..not really) when I flipped by their site and saw that yesterday.
As I mused on my blog, perhaps Dion is the Liberal mole! Would explain a lot!

We are all frogs in a pot that is slowing coming to a booil.
In a few years of being exposed to this style of writing and 24/7 facetime for Dion from the CTV, we'll all be speaking Dionglish and national unity will have been accomplished.

If you wanna talk "whitey white" then just look at the top part of the picture Steve posted above. It doesn't get much "whitier" than that.
..so its ok to insult someone on the basis of their race?
Dollars for your doughnuts that was Blogging Dipper post.

Not only is Stephane DionÂ’s grammar bad, he cannot even defend himself in parliament. Yesterday he tried to demonize PMSH and the Conservative party by accusing them of using their fiscal policy to attack the poor and vulnerable, but ended up getting royally smacked when the Prime Minister exposed the Liberal PartyÂ’s record. This is becoming a daily occurrence.

Fixing the spelling error doesn't make the headline any less horrible.

Would it be fascistic to point out that it is spelled habeas corpus, Ryan? We will be charitable and call it a typo, yes?

What is that wire running up Iggys arm, is that a cell phone or translation device in his ear. Why are so many libs using ear pieces, thought they were all totally bilingual. What are those liberals doing, reading, staring at when their great white leader is speaking. Notice the adoration of goodale looking in awe at dion. Is Iggy getting orders via a cell phone or something from some sp interest group. We need to know.

The headliner on the liberal website reflects that observation Rona Ambrose made quite some time ago.

Lets encourage the Dion and the Thieving Party,( they steal ideas
and claim them as their own). They're on a roll, and its all
down hill, the end is nigh.
Their old white guys have lost it and their replacements
just don't have it.
Smart asses have a short shelf life.
