Joy Riding

Written on September 15, 2006 – 3:19 am | by Mani |

So earlier today I blogged on how Patrick & Hazel Manning were looking into procuring a private jet. Tonight on the news Colm Imbert - speaking in an after cabinet-press conference - basically says that that report is completely untrue. Here’s a sound clip from TV’s newscast: (I missed the first few words of his statement, but I think it’s to the effect of “The Prime Minister took…”)

Colm Imbert at Press Conference

So let me get this straight. Prime Minister Patrick Manning takes a joy ride in a private jet that he has no intention of buying? Exactly how stupid do they think we are?

The company, he says, just wanted to “demonstrate” the aircraft to the Prime Minister.

Right.

“Hey you there, random Prime Minister in 2×4 country, come check out our plane. No strings attached.”

This may sound retarded to you, but not to Mr. Imbert and Mr. Manning. Come on, Mr. Imbert.

Maybe this sounds more possible: “Hey baby, let me take you out for a great lobster dinner. Sex? No, of course not! I won’t ask you for sex later. How preposterous!”

When did Mr. Manning get all this time to just joyride up and down the Eastern Caribbean anyway? I mean, shouldn’t he have better things to do?

    Hmmm, I had the words “emerging dictator” ringing in my head. I’m sure that’s completely coincidental though
