.....Everybody Falsely Ex(x)onerates Himself

First it was reported by Mark Hume in the Globe that the absent, but apparently arachnophillic, fellow by the name of Bornmann put his stay-out-of-jail-and-become-a-lawyer-instead card in jeopardy when he........

".....told news media that he had been exonerated in the police investigation, which involved an unprecedented raid, in December, 2003, on the legislature offices of Mr. Basi and Mr. Virk, who were both ministerial aides at the time."


Then, today, it was the chief Capo himself who said that he wasn't actually a lobbyist who lobbies himself while receiving double compensation from two pots of money that came from one source that he created himself from a pool of money that belongs to him....errrrrr.....us:

Mr. Dobell, who also works for (the City of ) Vancouver on homelessness issues (as well as in the Premier's office), said yesterday that he doesn’t consider himself a lobbyist and that he only registered as one “out of an abundance of caution.” “I regard myself as a content consultant,” he said.

Of his work on homelessness, he said: “I don’t call that lobbying. I call that working on the problem.”

And even better, the person that the chief Capo hired to replace himself in the Premier's office before he moved back into that office as an uber-not-lobbyist, backs him up 110%:

The press conference (of Mr. Dobell) coincided with the release of a letter to (Premier Gordon) Campbell from his current deputy minister, Jessica McDonald, clearing Dobell of any wrongdoing. “Mr. Dobell has always conducted himself with the utmost integrity,” she stated.


Whew......Sure glad the Dobrano's managed to circle the wagons before firing inward to clear that up.

Although we are surprised that they haven't hired a media contract consultant to lay a few large on Pavel Bure to call-up Danny Russell's Sportstalk (ie. the only show that anybody actually listens to anymore on the not-soGiant98) and say:

"I didn't do anything wrong"

And in a secondary plotline...... Rumour has it that the lawyer for one of the former Dobranos that was thrown under the bus in the run-up to the 'Trial of The Century' may ask that anyone associated with the case who has seen the Spiderman3 trailer that has played non-stop on the TeeVee this week be forced to recuse themselves due the conflict of interest involving the first self-exonerator identified above.
