Privatize All The Lab Coats

This is British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell visiting a private hospital in Sweden recently.

This is Mr. Campbell wearing a private green hospital lab coat.

This is Mr. Campbell after he appears to have had some difficulty buttoning his private green lab coat.

And then there's the hair net.*

Now, of course, pointing out a photo-op gone wrong could be considered by some to be little more than petty snark-o-lepsy.

And people of that opinion just might be right.

Then again, wasn't it our money that Mr. Campbell spent while he traipzed around Europe with his entourage in search the PerfectPublicPrivate Photo-op (ie. P3-Poo)?

Thus, it could be argued that we deserve to get something tangible out of the deal.

Even if it is only a brief chuckle or two.

*And just so BC Liberal PR folks understand, especially the US Republican-inspired ones .....this is kind of like one of those Dukakis-in-the-tank-wearing-the-goofy-helmut - type moments.
For an adult-oriented, reality-based, P3Poo-free look at the red herring that the privatization issue really is, Andre Picard's piece in today's Globe was very, very good.
