Manning’s old-granny image tends to disguise the underlying, unpleasant nature of his thoughts.
And his thoughts are precisely the stuff you would get from Newt Gingrich or Tom Delay playing sage.
Alberta is little more than the other end of a big pipeline to Texas.
Alberta sends oil down.
Texas sends up executives and managers and ideas and money.
The money is why Manning can sit back in his "institute" and blow hot air, pretending to significance for Canadians.
The vapid ideas appear to compose the entire content of his mind.
God, does anyone recall that pathetic series on CBC1, "This I Believe"
which Granny Manning hosted a couple of years ago?
A daily set of platitudes and bromides, likely the most pathetic broadcast ever offered by the network. All of it, ideas and even the title, taken from a U.S. broadcast, itself a tiresome business.
Thank God, it didn't last long, I'm sure CBC received bags of complaints, and it probably only ran it in the first place owing to pressure from Manning and Harperites.
Now, he's providing similar quality political stuff in his "columns" in the Globe.
