It is hard to believe that only a little more than two weeks have passed since it happened. Will any of us ever forget where we were when we heard the news? How deeply it shook us? Will things ever be the same again? What's that, you ask? The fire the destroyed the one time home of Johnny Cash? No, I'm talking about the announcement that Belinda Stronach will not seek re-election.

Alright, so it was hardly an earthshaking disaster and by now it hardly seems worthy of further comment, yet the prospect of Belinda riding to the rescue of the Liberal Party (by leading it of course) in the aftermath of a Conservative majority government still exists.

Many obituaries have been written for her public career, but should she decide to re-enter politics, the memory of her past service should be a realistic one, not an air-brushed public relations creation. Belinda's path and mine have crossed a few times and although I'm sure she has no idea who I am, I intend to conduct what I hope will be the final autopsy of her political career...

Belinda has been called the Paris Hilton of Canadian politics, I think it might be more accurate to call her the Anna Nicole Smith of Canadian politics.

.....or the Rosie O’Dumbass of Canadian Politics?........

Belinda and President Man Boobs

Only in Canada (and, I suppose, France) would the inability to speak French be considered a negative...

[Aria]

Gee, she is a somewhat better looking Hillary....probably not as much of a controlling witch though.

Whatever became of...

The stewardess he groped on a plane during the 1992 campaign and later hired at the White House?

Canada ping.

Please send me a FReepmail to get on or off this Canada ping list.

Somehow I don’t picture Arafat agreeing with Clinton on that.

[Squawk 8888]

Not being able to speak to 1/3 of the voters is a handicap in any democracy. Without the Québec vote, Stephen Harper would not be PM.

Great writing Grig.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Ha! She has been flying false colors!

[rod1]

Personally I think the Clinton’s will just offer to run both countries and Belinda will the first something of Canada while Bill roams back and forth across the border collecting paychecks and issuing multi-country pardons.

The full article is worth a read. Thanks for posting it, Grig.

Perhaps Arafat was thinking about the ‘Toon?
