POLITICAL PATZER

It is reported by UTV website the Culture, Arts and Leisure minister was at Union station Washington for the launch of the Titanic-built in Belfast exhibition. This is an ominously fitting place for him to be as his political career is possibly going to go the same way as the Titanic, it is going to founder upon the new stadium Maze location iceberg.

Edwin Lundy may have thought himself to be a slick political operator who possessed what seemed to be all the right connections in political and spiritual lundyland. In reality Edwin is just a "patzer" who was given a poisoned chalice which his more cunning political "colleagues" deftly avoided.

Discredited Lundies in his own party give the impression they are clutching at any straw in a bid to portray themslves as resolute defenders of Unionism. The hapless DCAL minister is exactly what they are looking for, someone who can be sacrificed for the sake of politcal expediency in order to make themselves look good. One article in a local paper implies Edwin will be hung out to dry. http://www.sundaylife.co.uk/news/article2702131.ece

Edwin Lundy is about to find his place in Unionist folkore, he will become a byword for arrogance and foolishness, some one who is being used by more unscrupulous individuals but who cannot see it. Instead of some unfortunate being as Lee Harvey Oswald crying "I am a patsy", they will now be declaring "I am a POOTSY".
Edwin could well find himself cast in the role of "EDWIN THE EXPENDABLE" Sounds like a medieval English King does it not? I do hope he does nothing foolish while in Washington the accomodation provided for visiting politicains is secretly bugged I am sure.
