It looks like our man Dan has now given his blessing and the green light on
the Cameron Inquiry, "Take as long as you need" says Dan" He also added that
the money for the inquiry will put aside. Williams did note that he will
put in a request to Judge Cameron to ask if cross examining will be
necessary.
Well well Well - 3 holes in the ground !! That's a lot better than bullying
and pushing. He must be listening to Open Line and Judge Gomery.
Judge Cameron is now looking to Feb/09 to clue up the inquiry.
Meanwhile....... back at the shit house things are piling up. Gerome Kennedy
is going back over all inquiries to look for a loop hole and an argument
against cross-examining witnesses. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he
is at the end of his chain and the only thing he can do now is bark.

It's good to see that DW finally got smart about this thing. I hope it
stays that way. As for Kennedy, it's hard to figure where he's coming from.

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.

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?

Yeah, right!

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.

There are these things... they're called jokes. Familiar?

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)

That may be true.

The notion of cutting any minister of
> the Crown some slack so they can learn on the job is just foolish.

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 lacks a liberal sense of humor...he's too conservitive... ;-)

No....what Davvee and others expect, is a level of professionalism. Your
Jerome has not demonstrated that in the past few days.

That "IS" true.

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)?

Something other than amateur hour would be a good first step. He has been
embarrassing the province over the past few days. But you wouldn't
understand that and I wouldn't expect you to.

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...
