Political genius defined, more or less

A profound or important, or possibly just amusing sentence, from a bulletin announcing the addition of Peter Donolo to Michael Ignatieff’s office.

Among other things, Donolo helped persuade Chrétien, then 59, to pose in a blue denim shirt for the 1993 Liberal campaign poster, which Chrétien won in a landslide.

Mr. Ignatieff wore a blue button-up shirt in his most recent television ads, so he is perhaps already halfway there.
