Danny Williams: Better than life

There used to be stories about how, back in the day, grateful little old ladies, and possibly a few little old gentlement, would leave strict instructions with their loved ones to be buried with a photograph of Joey Smallwood in the casket.

Ha ha, right? Very funny?

Maybe not so much.

This here, this, is the depth to which the Cult of Personality has descended in the modern-day Smallwood age. From Open Line with Randy Simms this morning, wherein Randy challenges an obviously pro-Danny caller on her very open and obvious bias:

SIMMS: Yeah, but you love the guy.

PLANTED TORY CALLER: More than life. More than life…

I don’t just love him for the sake of loving him, I love him for the person...

God gave him a lot of things…

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. Oh yes. He makes life exciting…

The heart is big, the caring is big.
