Election Watch 3: Is it over when the fat man sings?

kleinliberal.jpg

Ralph Klein, that devious nitwit, has finally said something that doesn’t drive me round the bend! He’s predicting another Liberal minority government — two weeks after he offered to campaign for his federal counterparts in the Conservative Party of Canada!

Klein, on a speaking tour, was asked in Halifax on Wednesday whether he expects to see a shift in power in Ottawa after the next federal election, widely expected to launch next week after the Conservatives introduce a no-confidence motion:

“If I were a betting man, I would say there would be another minority. It’s a damn shame.”

“Maybe the Conservatives would make some gains, but unfortunately, I don’t think they’re going to do well in Ontario. Maybe I’m wrong. I hope I’m wrong.”

What do they say about keeping your enemies closer than your friends? Dear, sweet, loopy Ralph…you’re a godsend to politics.

He he he! smile
