Mein Kriecher sagte mir, daß ich nie aufhöre, zu erstaunen (III)

From Thursday's sitting of the House of Williams, resolved into Committee of the Whole, where the oft-ignored rule against mentioning members by name doesn't apply at all, and they know it:

MR. PEACH: Mr. Speaker, I am energized about the opportunity to be able to contribute to the management and growth of the future opportunities for Newfoundland and Labrador. I believe that this proactive approach, under the direction of our great leader, the Premier, will result in long-term sustainable future for the people of this Province. He is an inspirational leader, our Premier, Danny Williams.

Really! You can't make this stuff up, not even if you try super-hard!

However, the anti-naming rule, Mr. Speaker, does apply in Question Period. No need to try so hard, Tom, ol' buddy; for some inexplicable reason, you're already in cabinet:

MR. T. MARSHALL: Oil prices certainly are high, and it is something, of course, that our government has no control over, but the Williams government certainly is aware and recognizes the adverse affect that high energy prices have on the people of this Province, especially our seniors and those on fixed incomes. That is something, I can assure you, that the Williams government takes very seriously.

And how'd this triply-sycophanic gem, from April 8th, escape attention?

MR. LODER: Mr. Chairman, as you can see, I am quite excited about the potential of the district, and I do see a bright future ahead. I feel our leader, and other members of the Williams’ government, gave the citizens of this great Province of Newfoundland Labrador a sense of pride and hope for the future, which began in 2003.

As Mr. Kevin Blanchard of McIver’s stated during the campaign, when he met with the hon. Premier: You are the only fighting Newfoundlander left - implying, Mr. Chairman, that our Premier is the only fighting Premier we ever had.

For the sake of the Premier's health, hopefully colonoscopy test results are more reliable than some of the other medical diagnostics we've all been hearing about lately.

It would be worrisome, and embarrassing, to have medical alarm bells raised about polyps that turn out, in the end, to just be firmly-impacted backbenchers.
