…Who’s Crazy Now?
A couple of months ago, when the all three polling sub-categories (eg. LINO’s Down/Dippers Up/BCCons Way, Way Up) first made it readily apparent that the BC Liberal Party, at least as currently configured and branded, was doomed, we wrote the following:
“What if the (Fed) Cons (running the LINO’s) were to suddenly depose The Snook, anoint The Birdman, and then engineer a fusion-based love-in with The Curmudgeon (Mr. Cummins)…
How would those (center-right split) numbers look then?”
Of course, many folks, including 3 of 4 members of the PublicEye rabble-rousing panel and the host, Mr. laughed when Eleanor Gregory quoted our words verbatim*.
So….
Imagine our surprise when yesterday’s E. Gregory-free P. EyeOnline panel spent a goodly part of an entire segment seriously considering the possibility of a re-branded LibCon party with a new leader and/or a wholesale move to The Party of Curmudgeon.
Now the former I can see, if they still think they have a hope-in-heckfire of winning, or even forming a reasonably strong opposition.
As for the latter?
Well, I reckon they will only throw that Hail Mary if they really and truly think they are doomed for good.
And clearly, given their inability to let go the gosamer-winged reins of power they think they are still holding, they are not quite ready to face-up to that cold, hard real politic reality (especially when you’ve got guys like Mickleburgh writing bizarre “on-the one/on-the-other-hand” stuff like this) quite yet.
Which is why, I reckon, folks like Abbott and, especially, The Birdman (who is not, as far as I can tell, beholden to the ‘progressives’) haven’t gone way, way deep already.
OK?

*And now both Ms. Gregory and Mr. Dave owe me cookies for using my stuff….Hmmm….How come I have never seen, nor heard, not to mention read, those two together, in the same political chatroomish-type online salonthingies at the same time?
