What is past is prologue

It seems like more than a few people are reacting to chatter that Bob Rae may do to Ignatieff as Ignatieff did to Dion. Backbenchers, according to Angelo Persichilli, are increasingly unhappy with Ignatieff. A number of the people mentioned in the article have disavowed any disloyalty, and Bob Rae himself has called the entire column a fiction.

It's a shame that the Walrus doesn't have it's latest issue online, because the cover article by Ron Graham about Ignatieff's courting, the Liberal Party's history since Trudeau, and the mess that the Party's made in the last year would be valuable reading. Ignatieff is in the mess he's in today in large part because of the process which brought him to power in the first place -- most crucially, he and the people around him seem to have gotten to the cusp of power without ever really considering what they'd do when they got there.
