Which Insult Would You Rather Be Called

A tough question for you to answer, dear reader.

First we have Gord Henderson sharpening his pencil to take shots at Bill Marra to try to stop him 2 years in advance from running against Eddie in the next mayoral election or trying to destroy him in the public's mind as a credible candidate.

Gord knows as well as Eddie, the Eminence Greasie and the E-machine that, in a two-way race, Eddie would be toast if an election was held today. No wonder Dave Cooke is being suckered errrrr promoted to be the third man in to split the vote.

• "It can only get more difficult for Francis as the year progresses. Those itching to take his place -- and Lord knows why anyone would want to -- will become more outspoken with each passing month. We're already seeing that with Bill Marra, council's "weakest link" on the border file, breaking rank to oppose legal action, the city's sole remaining weapon in its fight to extract GreenLink-calibre concessions from the province. And as Marra trolls for headlines and campaign funds, other wannabees will come crawling out of the woodwork."

Henderson's slam was totally predictable but rather late in coming. Gord must have become soft for the holiday season and waited until the new year to call Bill names. Yet, Marra may actually turn out to be the only one on Council with any brains in this matter and NOT the weak link!

A lawsuit being the only remaining weapon...hardly. Mind you with a negotiator like Eddie, Gord may be right. He has burned all of his bridges hasn't he. (Sorry, could not resist the pun!).

Then we have Eddie himself whining as usual about DRIC in a video on the Star website telling us all of the horrible things they have done wrong:

• "I need to remind you that on August 14th 2007, the Province and DRIC came out with their preferred alternative. They asked for comments. On May 1st they came out with very little change. Here we are, at the beginning of 2009, nearly a year and a half later, and DRIC has not moved, has not responded to the issues that have been raised by this Community. And in doing so, they have violated a number of provisions that are found in the terms of reference and a number of safeguards that are provided to communities such as ours and to people of our Community under the Environment Assessment and it is our responsibility to point out those issues."

He has accused the Premier of biasing the DRIC process while his weapon of mass destruction, David Estrin, spent hours at Council about how he could beat DRIC in a lawsuit.

Yak, yak, yak....that is all our Mayor can do. It is so tiresome.

Wouldn't a strong leader act rather than talk...telling us the same thing in so many different ways? Wouldn't a strong leader have done something by now to protect us from all this evil rather than just strut and pontificate? Would you as a strong leader want your credibility questioned by your inaction?

I could spend the time tracking down all of the times Eddie threatened to sue someone in the border file but frankly, I cannot be bothered. Does anyone now believe that he will actually do anything other than talk. His threats of lawsuits are laughable!

So, dear reader, here is the choice you have to make. Would you rather be called:

a WEAK-LINK or a WEAK-LING!
