The Stupidest Thing Yet Written About Michael Ignatieff
"The thing is, Ignatieff has never been confined to the cloistered world that politicians inhabit. He’s always lived in the spotlight as a public intellectual, an author, a journalist, and a public-affairs broadcaster." (Source)
(The hell of it is that the article, on balance, increased my opinion of Ignatieff slightly. But the above line - the writer's, not the candidate's - is quite palpably ludicrous.)
