Crossing Belinda, crossing Belinda

You’ll go-acrossing Belinda to me

And we’ll pay you off with a feeding at the trough

If you’ll go-acrossing Belinda to me.

Belinda Stronach’s crossing the floor to the Liberals comes as no surprise to me, as I have long held the view that ‘Crossing Belinda’ was a Liberal time bomb in the Conservative Party. To call her an "opportunist" is to understate her commitment to herself. Let’s just say that Belinda has taken advantage of an opportunity that could ultimately put her into the prime minister’s office.

Belinda’s one purpose in entering politics was to gain power. Running for the leadership of the Conservative Party last year would have put her on the fast track to power had she won. Losing that race and subsequently having to sit as a common MP didn’t suit Belinda’s agenda, so when the opportunity to make cabinet as a Liberal came along, Belinda had no choice but to betray her constituents as well as her party, as this was too good an opportunity to pass up.

In making the announcement of Belinda’s defection, Paul Martin claimed that Belinda was doing "what she believes is best for Canada." Right. And the Liberal bagmen in Quebec stole all that money in order to preserve national unity. . . . .

Great to hear that this empty skirt, former playmate of Bill Clinton's is going home to her father's party. I have never been as unimpressed by any politician, and that is saying a lot since I had to once sit through a speech by Patrick Kennedy.

I must say that Belinda has fulfilled my every expectation of her. Those Liberals in the inner circle of the Prime Mister s office had better watch their back. This little chippy is used to getting what every she can buy, I mean want.

I cannot believe how the Liberal party are drooling over this airhead.

Not Bubba's former bimbo. She was just canoodling with bubba in NY a week or so ago.

I wish her the best, and hopes this works out for her like Jumpin' Jim Jefford's betrayal worked out for hom.

She used to sleep with Bill Clinton. How can anyone expect her to be anything other than a whore, political or otherwise?
