Stephane Dion thinks he's the leader of a "62 per cent majority."

It isn't easy to understand statistics. But it shouldn't be difficult to figure out that 74 per cent of Canadians voting against Stephane Dion and the Liberals does not translate into 62 per cent support for his becoming the prime minister. Unless Stephane Dion thinks that 136 per cent of Canadians voted.

Statistics are difficult. But making priorities is even tougher. Stephane Dion made it plain that making priorities is hard during a Liberal leadership debate. "We didn't get it done," said Liberal MP Michael Ignatieff. "This is unfair," responded Dion. "This is unfair," he repeated, "do you think it's easy to make priorities?"

But this wasn't to be the last time Michael Ignatieff was to guffaw at Stephane Dion.

In the House, while Stephane Dion was busy quoting failed U.S. vice-presidential candidate Al Gore, Michael Ignatieff was busy chuckling with the Conservative Party:

Michael Ignatieff is not the only member of the "coalition" to publicly mock Stephane Dion. Leader of the NDP, and fellow "62 percenter," Jack Layton tore a strip out of Stephane Dion during a pre-election debate:



Those leadership qualities. Does Stephane Dion have them? It's hard to tell. After all, former NDP premier of Ontario and current Liberal MP Bob Rae appears to be taking over as the chief spokesman for the coalition.

Stephane Dion has a difficult time with statistics. Stephane Dion has a difficult time making priorities. Stephane Dion can't keep Michael Ignatieff from laughing at him. Stephane Dion has "no business running for prime minister." Stephane Dion can't even be "prime minister" of the crumbling coalition.

And he wants to be prime minister of Canada?

Stephane Dion is preposterously out of touch. Stephane Dion is not my prime minister.
