Jon Stanhope resigns, but we may not be rid of him just yet

Jon Stanhope (or Stan Nohope as he is popularly known) has resigned as Chief Idiot Minister of the ACT.

ACT Opposition Leader, Zed Seselja said today that Stanhope was the "most capable" performer in ACT Labor. Which doesn't say much for the rest of them.

Stanhope's replacement is Katy Gallagher, for whom I have a nickname that I can't repeat here. What regime she will lead beggars the imagination. Needless to say, I'm glad I don't live in Canberra

Apparently Stanhope has designs on Federal politics. Good grief. The last thing Federal Labor needs is another hard left, doctrinaire socialist imbecile in their ranks.

No, Jon should pack up the family and move to a far-flung corner of Australia and out of the spotlight for good. And he should dig up all those public objets d'art erected during his tenure, and take them with him.
