Dearest Delusional Rex,

Oddities of oddities, so you care not for the current debate format! Be still my beating heart! Why do you insist on regurgitating the same point you just made with Mansbridge 24 hours ago? Surely you are not just a 'one-note wonder'?

From now on, do us all a favour, end your clips with Peter on CBC by saying: "Viewers, if you're too thick or cranially challenged to see my point tonight - you can read it all again in Saturday's G&M."

At least we would all know you have nothing new to offer in the weekend column.

Despite your wish to portray this election as a done deal - it is not. the campaign still has dynamism and an unappreciated organic aspect that needs to be examined. How 'bout trying to come up with more than one original thought a week..., my nine year old can do it - surely you can too.

As for your claim you care not who wins - poppycock - you want Harper back in.

As for your idea that we should have more debates (some in a one-on-one format) I'm all for it. But who do you think would oppose this idea? The opposition? No. Harper. it is Harper who would never consent to one-on-one debates. Moreover, he would never consent to more than ONE debate in each language. His platform is absent, his contempt is palpable, his arrogance is latent. Given the choice, he would prefer to remain mute until Oct. 14th.

Our current PM exudes an authoritarian ooze that belies his utter distaste for having to lower himself to answering serious questions. More debates indeed! Better chance Harper would actually deign to provide us with a platform, a 'vision' rather than his tired Bush I "stay the course" mantra.

Rex, get some new ideas. Or quit!
