Run, Bernie, Run

The mists have cleared and the reason for Bernie Farber's frantic flurry of plaque activity in recent days becomes clear. It's not that the Ceej's head honcho was trying to save his phony baloney job. It's that he was trying to lay the groundwork for an election bid. Farber wants to replace Peter Shurman, a Conservative, and join Ontario Premier Dalton McStatist's caucus as the Liberal MPP from Thornhill, a riding with a substantial Jewish population. And what better way to ingratiate himself with fellow tribesfolk than by pointing to his successful plaque antics?

One could well question the wisdom of such a run at such a time (when Toronto and Toronto Jewry are trending Tory, and Karen Mock, like Bernie a lefty whose CV is replete with "human rights" crap and interfaith-y squish, was just squashed by incumbent Conservative Peter Kent in the federal election). One is immediately reminded, however, that this is the same gentleman who has displayed less-than-impeccable judgement by schmoozing with sock puppets, sucking up to Muslims, and purveying the largely discredited multiculti codswallop, and who thinks that state censorship as administered by "human rights" commissars and sleepy cops (who never lay charges in a timely fashion when the "hate speaker" is Islamic) will keep Canucki Jewry safe and sound.

Bernie doesn't have a hope in Hades of getting sent to Queen's Park. But, hey, maybe someday he can get the one job for which he is eminently suited: head commissar of the Ontario "human rights" commission.
