Oh no he didn't....

The G&M is reporting that Stephan Dion just referred to the Conservative budget as "unfair".

Wow.

From the moment the Conservatives began running those ads where Dion meekly replies to Ignatieff's leadership attack about the environment by saying "This is unfair!", I've watched the line become a cult media reference. The thing's taken on a life of its own. It shows up in newspaper editorials, television political satire, even everyday conversation. Hell, I was even invited to join a Facebook group mocking the maladroit Liberal leader called "This Facebook Group is Unfair!!".

If I were a Conservative staffer in the PMO communications department I'd have to check my calendar to see if Christmas had come early. After all, you'd think Dion could have thought of a different word to support his objection to the budget other than the one that is, you know, single-handedly destroying his career.
