Svend Robinson, the convicted jewel thief, Fidel Castro and Yasser Arafat admirer, and the NDP’s favorite son, will run again!
Or fly.
Dubbed “White Swan” by a First Nation band for his anti-logging protests, Mr. Robinson has today officially announced he will swoop in and return to federal politics in the next election, running in Vancouver Center (Liberal backbencher Hedy Fry’s riding currently). Should he win, word on the street is that he will rename the riding Vancouver Extreme Left.
He feels as though he’s really in the clear now, after serving his time. Oh wait—he didn’t serve any time!
“I’m asking for a second chance,” he told a news conference. “I should be judged for my entire record of hard work.”
Ironically, in order to be consistent, I imagine he feels the Martin Liberals will deserve a second chance too, after all that Adscam nonsense gets sorted out.
The socialist Mr. Robinson has been away on an extended sick leave of sorts, pending recovery from a sickness that causes the uncontrolled theft of materialistc trinkets which cost as much as a fully-loaded brand new BMW, for his male lover. Perhaps his lover is not a socialist, thus explaining that.
Although pressed by reporters several times, Robinson wouldn’t discuss his medication for what he called a mild bipolar disorder.
“I’m careful about medication because I think it’s really important not to suggest that because I may not be taking medication at this point, which I’m not, that somehow there’s anything wrong with medication.
“‘I wouldn’t be taking this step unless I had the full confidence of my therapist,” Robinson said.
Well then.
