Public Eye May Be Down...

....But Sean Holman is up.

At The Tyee, with the first in a series on the government of our current (not)Premier. Here is Mr. Holman's lede:

It was the Kodak moment Christy Clark and her family of supporters had been working for their entire political lives.

Clark being sworn-in as premier at government house, her much-mentioned smile and fashionable, hound's-tooth jacket contrasting sharply with the serious suites and expressions being worn by her soon-to-be cabinet colleagues.

But, seven months into her administration, the premier -- whose Liberal leadership bid was supported by just one of those ministers -- doesn't have much to smile about.

Her government is now trailing the Opposition, according to the latest polling from Ipsos Corp., with Clark having a disapproval rating that's higher than her New Democratic Party competitor Adrian Dix....




(If only for the myriad names that are not Clark)

Finished reading it prior to seeing your post, RossK.

Mr. Holman did a good job.

Makes one wonder how "Chipmunk Cheeks" got the leadership position, huh ? ? ? ?

I would say, in my estimation, that Clark's outfit certainly was the most fashion forward in the crowd.

Uh ... but didn't you mean "suits"?

Since I think it was you who directed me to Doc 40 I must say I am concerned about Farren's health. Last post on his blog - Oct 7. Last Facebook update - Oct 9.

Thanks for the evidence-based fashion analysis Mary and Sean (I think)...

Beer--

'Twasn't me (think you may be thinking of Frankie in the Bay Area)....But, ya, I share your concern.

Is there a direct Email for him?

Mr. Beer N. Hockey said...

Farren has made public his e-mail address in the past on a post or three of his. Think I will wait for his return. Hopefully he is still just unwell.
