Geez Davvee, you're like the pundits who expect everything to
change the morning after an election.
Cut the guy a little slack, he's still a lawyer who hasn't yet
learned to be a politician.
Carter
He's like Danny, in other words.
Why should I or anyone, cut him some slack? Shouldn't he be held to
account for his big mouth? Wouldn't you expect that a Minister of the
Crown be held to account for his lack of foresight?
He's a lawyer, his primary task is to lie. He should already know how
to be a politician! :P
Is that what he did when he defended Mr. Parsons, the man wrongly
convicted of killing his mother?
He should already know how
> to be a politician! :P
Yeah, right!
Carter
Just not sitting on as big a wallet.
That is the Premier's fault for putting an inexperienced MHA in such
an important cabinet portfolio. The notion of cutting any minister of
the Crown some slack so they can learn on the job is just foolish.

And yes, it was a joke. No one actually believes all Lawyers do is
lie. Politicians on the other hand.... ;) (in case you're
unfamiliar, what I just said, that was a joke too)
Carter
That may be true.

If you were the minister I strongly suspect you wouldn't think so.
In case you missed it the point I was making is that Davvee, and
others, seem to feel that as soon as a minister is appointed to a
cabinet post he magically knows everything about the portfolio
immediately. That is, of course, just foolish.
Carter
I don't think he is capable of it...He's too high strung and closed minded.

If he's not up to the job, he shouldn't be in it. Being an ambulance
chaser qualifies him to...chase ambulances...

It's not about knowing everything about the portfolio. It's about
carrying out your duties in a dignified and professional manner. Not
acting like a spoiled brat and looking like an idiot in doing so...

I don't expect any minister or Premier, no matter how long they are on
the job, to know everything about the portfolio immediately. I do
expect, however, the minister to act professionally and to not
embarass the government, and to also accept responsibility for
mistakes when they are made.

My Jerome?
What, exactly, is it that you expect him to do to demonstrate the
level of professionalism you desire to see (whatever that is)?
Carter
Was the 'government' embarrassed?
and to also accept responsibility for

What mistakes, exactly, do you want him to accept responsibility for?

How about we start with calling out Judge Cameron, or interfering with
an ongoing inquiry...And that's just this past week...No doubt your
brain washed political bias will see his actions as acceptable...
