A dubious distinction

Federal British Columbia Liberal conventioneers in Penticton have have elected Pilothouse Public Affairs Inc. lobbyist Jamie Elmhirst as the president of their rotten borough. Mr. Elmhirst was running against Vancouver Centre constituency association president Patrick Maloney. According to unofficial sources, Mr. Elmhirst received 234 votes to Mr. Maloney's 178. Mr. Elmhirst was the candidate most favoured by super-uber Martinite organizer Mark Marissen, who is married to theoretical Indo-Canadian Idol competitor and former provincial Liberal cabinet minister Christy Clark.

It was an interesting battle to the end with two great candidates. Congratulations to Jamie!

Mr. Holman,
I beleive that your comments about an "Indo-Canadian Idol" contest are way off base. A politician is no indo-canadian idol.

Perhaps you should review the Simpsons episode on worshipping Ganesh....

Jamie will be a great president. Lots of people remember him from the leg. and he did a great job for Joyce Murray.

Oh Jamie will do a great job as president alright, "cleaning up" the Liberal Party as only a lobbyist whose offices were searched by the RCMP can!

What a Party.
