Robinson hints at political comeback
OTTAWA -- Disgraced former NDP MP Svend Robinson is battling his own "demons" and pondering a possible political comeback. In his first media interview since he "snapped" and swiped an expensive diamond ring from an auction sale, the long-time British Columbia MP told CBC News yesterday that politics is in his "blood" and hinted he could stage a return to Parliament Hill in the future
What "demons"? Realizing that he'd eventually get caught because of all the security cameras?
"Of course I wish it had never happened. I mean it was a nightmare. But, on the other hand, I'm not sure I would have been here today if something hadn't forced me to confront some of the demons that I had to confront," he said.
Yes, yes, I'm a better person for committing grand larceny in the name of love...
I am so sick and tired of the "personal demon" excuse every time some high profile loser screws up in public. Yes quite a hardship, Mr. Convicted Felon, with a lovely parachute in the form of a slack BCGEU job waiting for him the second he resigned "in disgrace." Where's the suffering? Where's the rehabilitation of his image? Has he done anything to redeem himself in anyone's eyes?
Or is he just going to come back the same old Svend, except this time NEW! IMPROVED! now with Criminal RecordTM to help him socialistically relate to the "commoners" better.
Idiot.
Admit it. We all knew that he was going to try the comeback.

Red Ensign Blogs for Victory!

And Lastly...
In order to be readmitted to the bar, Svend must also show he is "a person of good character and repute and fit to become a barrister and solicitor."
Think he got cold feet? Think he might have been looking around for a job where being "a person of good character and repute" was not a precondition?
What job would that be? I wonder....got it! Member of Parliament for the New Democratic Party!
