With friends like this who needs enemies?
When he won the Tory in 2006, Hughie was all about bringing "fresh ideas"!
Seems only yesterday the CBC was reporting his website depicted "a young, unassuming man leaning against a door frame wearing a T-shirt and sweater. The catchphrase comes straight out of the marketing textbooks: 'New day. Winning day. Join the winning way today.'" Oh, how little has changed.
A visit to Hugh's site proves his search for "new ideas' has run into a few problems and that, unfortunately, his personal knowledge cupboard remains largely bare. A visit to his "Issues Room" confirms it. Rather than disseminating knowledge in the 'room' he's decided he wants "to hear from you" and he encourages visitors to "use this issues room as a source of information for all issues being dealt with by myself and the Official Opposition in the Manitoba Legislature." Unfortunately, the room is just like Hughie's own idea board: absolutely empty. How odd.
As his undying endorsement of big-box stores along Kenaston has proven, Hughie is the sort hampered by thinking "within the box". Undoubtedly today will see him once again utter support for the inane - - a prorogation that has already been granted. Clearly, the man is not getting enough time to 'just think'. A change is needed.
In an effort to allow him to realize his promise to bring new ideas to the political arena, Hugh should be declared Manitoba's preeminent public intellectual. He must be given the time to seek out these ever elusive "new ideas". Perhaps, the University of Manitoba can create a special Chair (a very special high-chair?) called the Manitoba's Publicus Erectus Scientia that would allow Hugh to continue his quest to erect ideas for public consumption for years to come.
It is time to draft Hugh for Public Intellect.
Those interested in supporting Hugh may make donations to their local chapter of the Dustin Hoffman's "Rainman Fund".
Thanks in advance for your support.

Funny.
Did'ya hear the sorry fella had his tongue freeze to the microphone today at the protest. Seems he forgot not to lick metal when it's cold out.
For this supposed 'leader of opposition' to be elevated to role of public intellect it would suppose he was in possession of faculties not previously evidenced.
