The National Post, probably realizing I was one of the top 5 political minds in the country, asked me to provide free advice to Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff.
The result is posted here.

I am not sure of the other numbers but you may be second most arrogant person in Canada, coming in slightly behind your best bud Ignatieff.
If you seriously consider yourself one of the top 5 political minds in this country you should create a party, run for office, and show us how to do it right.
Top 5 political minds. If that's true Canada's going down the tubes for sure...
You've got my vote Gerry!
Facetiousness is evidently lost on the two cats above me...
Gerry, I do enjoy some of your writing, but that "top 5" stuff is nauseating.
Please take some advice from the book of timeless truth, Proverbs 27:2: "Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips."
I almost had beer come out my nose when I read.
... Surely you can do better than "We can do better."
Now that was funny Gerry !!!
:( Canada is in serious trouble if what you said is true.
:) But the good news is that the only way that could be true is if you added the word "million" after the "5". (and that might be stretching it too!)
But to give credit where it's due, If you were attempting to be humorous, you did get a chuckle out of me. So keep up the good work Seinfeld. Your comedy routine is pure Gold (now there I go stretching it too!!)
Wow... top 5 huh? Tell me - have you been hanging out with Garth Turner by any chance? That kind of arrogance reeks of prolonged exposure to the Grand Swollen Head.
Ya, and most people don't know who the hell you are, you don't even rate a wikipedia, and you really don't have much of interest to say.
Yup, you have an unearned huge ego.
