OTTAWA – None of the 25 guests invited by Michael Ignatieff to his weekend basketball-birthday party either showed up or sent an RSVP, the former Liberal Party leader told reporters.
“Maybe there was a problem with the Evite I sent out,” Ignatieff said from an empty basketball court nearing its rental expiration time. “I used my personal email account because I no longer can access my old work email, so maybe my friends with Liberal Party accounts had it sent to their junk mail or something? Then again, I spoke to Bob Rae about a month ago and he said he’d try to make it. He could have at least let me know what’s up.”
Ignatieff’s basketball party was the worst attended sports-themed political party in the history of the Liberal Party, surpassing Mackenzie King’s 1931 beach-croquet party, attended by only two people.
