The NDP Three Stooges - Moe, Lali and Farny
It appears current Opposition House Leader, Mike Farnworth is indeed stepping up his super secret bid to become the next leader of the BC NDP. "Mike has assembled two of the greatest NDP minds to have not - as of this writing - served any major jail time", a friend of Farny boasted. "With this crack team he has assembled, how can he lose?"
Yes this IS quite the team. Mike has tapped former MLA and failed television newscaster, Moe "It's Not My Fault - Don't Call Me Patty" Sihota and current MLA colleague and Titanic movie inspirer Harry "On the Side of Organized Labour" Lali to assist in his quiet bid to de-throne current leader, Carole James.
But why these two?
Moe resigned from cabinet several times during his stay at the Leg including a May 1995 incident where the BC Law Society suspended him for "unethical conduct". Some other incidents from this comic genius include taking trust money from his clients to lend to his father who, like all Dippers who handle money which is not theirs, lost it; received loan guarantees from his friend - Herb Dhaliwal - then gave him a directorship position with BC Hydro; phoned the Taxi Commission while he was a Cabinet Minister to demand action on a license application for his pal Dhaliwal; and finally, sent one of his children to a private school while he was Education Minister but told folks she received a scholarship or bursary when in actual fact, the school was paid for by his in-laws.
"With Moe's creative thinking and ability to escape trouble, he will be able to guide Mikey through the murky waters of being an NDP leader." Mikes friend continued. "I mean, if the Law Society suspended a lawyer for unethical behaviour, then he is our kind of guy!"
But what about Lali? It appears his claim to fame is keeping one of the backbenches warm in Victoria.
"Lali is our direct pipeline to the unions...he can get us the funds and off the books labour we need," the friend bragged. "Not that Mikey cannot just get it again as he did during the 2005 election, but this time Lali will head up that side of the operation to keep MF's hands clean."
With these developments taking place surely the Carole James camp must be wanting to mount a strong defense. However a source close to CJ wrote to us in an email, "As long as Moe, Lali and Farny are working together, Carole's chances of remaining leader have just increased!"

...and with James as leader the Libs have no fear of losing!!!
What about our old friend Adrian Dix. According to this story Dix has all the qualifications to be involved.
Horny Toad
"Then there's the whole matter of the Adrian Dix memo allegedly written in July of 1998 ostensibly written by Dix as a "memo to file" indicating the premier instructed him of his friendship with Pilarinos saying he was to have nothing to do with the casino application.
The memo magically came to light the day after the Mounties searched the Clark abode. A few days later the RCMP searched the premier's office, specifically Dix's computer.
Anyone want to make a bet on what they were looking for? Considering Dix was fired two days later, anyone want to take a bet on what the Mounties discovered?
Dix took a bullet for the boss. At least he got some $70,000 of taxpayer dollars for his trouble"
Harry Lali was Glen Clark's staunchest supporter right up until the time he left office. Harry likes to say "I know nothing" and in his case he is absolutely right.
The only other dufus that would make this a comic foursome would be Corky Evans . . now he's a certified whack job moonbat of the first order
