Blowback Against Gang Of 13?...Won't You Listen To What The Dean Says.

'TwasNotTheDippersWhoTimedTheReleaseOfThe
AuditVille


In a post I wrote last night before Mr. Palmer's latest came out in the VSun this morning, I noted that Rich Coleman waited 246 days before he released the Portland Hotel Society Audit late this week that has since led Dipper MLA Jenny Kwan to write cheque to the society for more than $30,000.

Which got me to wondering if maybe the timing of the audit's release was the Snooklandian wizards at work, doing their best that to jam the newsycle that had John Horgan and NDP riding high in the proMedia all week long.

Then an anonymous commenter wrote this:

"Problem with this theory is the Kwan stuff was leaked by the NDP."

Which led me to go searching through the detrious left behind by the Twitmachine shills to see if there was one nugget out there that I had missed.

And this is what I found so far....

From today's column by Mr. Palmer:

...So when the government was preparing this week to release two explosive audits of the society, word spread that there might be something in the contents to embarrass Kwan.

Some of those rumours came from the Liberals, keen to see the holier-than-thou Kwan neutralized on issues of poverty and hardship. But tongues were also wagging inside the NDP, where Kwan is a polarizing figure because of her role in fronting for the revolt that led to the resignation of Carole James as party leader in late 2010...

****

Now.

Here's the thing...

When you are a shill you will use pretzel logic to twist anything in an attempt to bamboozle folks into thinking that that thing is something that it is not.

So, with that in mind, please note that Mr. Palmer did not explicitly say that a 'leak' of the audit came from the Dipperians.

Instead, what he indicated was that tongues were wagging once people knew that Coleman, who sat on his hands for nine months, suddenly signaled, apparently in the wake of Mr. Horgan's announcement last Monday evening, that the audit would soon be released.

Which doesn't mean that there aren't Dippers with memories who do not like what was done to Ms. James.

But, particularly in the absence of something harder, it also does not mean that it was a pre-organized Dipper lynch-mob that went out last week (i.e. prior to the 'preparing' by Mr. Coleman et al.) and bought the pen that Ms. Kwan used to write yesterday's cheque.


OK?

Regardless, again....In the wake of all this frenzied hysteria against entitlement (a lot of which is justified) that is being whipped up the proMedia 'round here, why aren't fine folks like Mr. Leyne of the VTC also writing, at least by way of comparison to $800 limo rides, about stuff like, say....This?
Thanks to Merv Adey, also in the comments, for helping point us back towards Mr. Palmer's latest.
