Rebranding the B team
Only Dion and the Liberals could call a group, that the media was referring to as The B team just a short time ago, as the dream team.

Everyone has an opinion, but only some are right. Don't patronize or try to spin me, it won't end well.
Ardvark
Tired of undelivered big promises and big government in general. Even more tired of being treated as an idiot by the spin artists found at all levels of government.
What they are saying about Alberta Ardvark
Scott Reid: "you got me wonderboy"
Adam Goldenberg: "You're too kind."
BigCityLib one of their "saner supporters"
Dan Gardner: "Are you offering to promote my books for me? No? Then shaddup."
LibArtsAndMinds: "You're smarter than this."
Brent Butt: "Yes. You are right. I am wrong. I feel shame."
Frank Graves 1: "Okay ! this is the second time you got me with careless tweeting . And once again I defer to your catch. Good one!" 2. "Sheesh! are you available as a real time editor?"

Yes I do know that Ardvark is not the correct spelling, but it would take too long to explain.

And only a Liberal leader would try to reuse the phrase "dream team" in a positive way, when it was originally coined as the team of lawyers (led by US defense attorney Johnnie Cochran) who got O.J. Simpson acquitted of murder charges, one of the most unjust outcomes in recent US criminal judicial history.
What noble cause will the Liberal "dream team" pursue? Re-writing the history of Adscam and their dismal environmental record?
Anon:
The OJ Simpson trial was heard by a jury. If you understood even the remotest thing about the justice system you would know how utterly ridiculous it is to suggest that the defence lawyers should be viewed in a negative light based on the acquittal. The lawyers who represented Simpson were, in fact, a dream team in the sense that they were some of the best at what they did -- much like the people Stephane Dion has placed in his inner circle.
In any event, the term "dream team" was not "originally coined" in reference to the Simpson/Goldberg murders as you say. The 1992 USA mens Olympic basketball team was called the "dream team" -- two years before the murders and three years before the verdict was delivered. Dream team is also a nickname that has been used to refer to the AC Milan and FC Barcelona soccer teams since the mid-1980s.
So, the only person re-writing history here appears to be you.
Calling these 2nd stringers a dream team is a stretch even for hardcore Liberal supporters.
John Manley, Frank McKenna, and Brian Tobin would have mopped the floor with any of these guys if they would have ran for the leadership. They chose not to run, and time will prove that they made the right decision.
