For Layton's sake, I hope the NDP doesn't go to school on the performance of Iggy and his zoo. They were given a chancee to be taken seriously and they blew it - big time.
Don't be so sure about that. If she's a rabid left-wingers, like an NDPer, she'll have all sorts of delusions; e.g., money grows on trees, Layton really needed a massage, etc.
She's more to be pitied than laughed at. Another poor sap duped into runninng for the NDP. Let her sit in the House for a while. Under the circumstances she deserves the money.
