Liberal party president resigns after mild stroke

OTTAWA -- The president of the federal Liberal party is resigning after suffering a stroke.

Senator Marie Poulin, 62, said Tuesday she's decided it would be best for the party if she steps down immediately.

Although she hopes to eventually make a full recovery from the mild stroke that hit her last Wednesday, Poulin said that for now she tires too easily to put in the 40 or 50 hours of work that the party job demands each week.

"When I take a commitment like the presidency of the Liberal party, it's important for me to be able to give it my all,'' she told The Canadian Press.

Well I hope she fully recovers. This kind of leaves the Liberals in a bit of a spot now doesn't it. Here's what Dion had to say:

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion accepted Poulin's resignation "with great regret.''

In a written statement issued late Tuesday, Dion thanked Poulin for presiding over "one of the most profound renewals in party history.''

"Profound renewals"??? Oh, I get it, they are having a religious moment. Well good on you Liberals! May you look into your hearts and feel refreshed. Oh, by the way the $10 a month donation plan is a great idea! Now all you have to do is find those pesky little Liberal voters. Chretien sure did you guys a dirty.
