“Because his avarice and his betrayal of the emperor’s trust, Pier della Vigna was disgrace, blinded, and imprisoned.

Dante’s pilgrim finds Pier della Vigna on the seventh level of the inferno.  Like Judas he died by hanging” – “Let My Home be my Gallows”

This past week saw the repercussions of a mentally embattled and fatigued prime minister ‘flashing the bird’ at persons whom he claims were attacking his family but really were only asking question of him and requesting his accountability to the Bahamian people.

The issue, really a non-issue, could have been easily dismissed and should have been give the heavy scrutiny that the prime minister has been under for the past four plus years, this was nothing but it seemed to have rattled him to the core, having two of his parliamentary colleagues weigh in to defend the prime minister.  The funny thing is that, both have no moral authority to even to attempt to justify the prime minister’s unwarranted outburst; as both of these persons sense of morality are as untouched as the turning signal in the average Bahamians car.

One in particular, I would consider to be a ‘political Judas’; as his kiss of reassurance’ is a deadly one, as he has proven that he has shown that he is fully prepared to sell you out for his job, as Judas did Christ for 30 pieces of silver.

“Minister defends PM: Attacks on family promoted middle finger incident, colleagues said” – The Nassau Guardian 1^st March 2017

Excerpt from this article; “Asserting that Christie has to speak for himself on the matter, Fitzgerald said the incident prompts a broader issue when it comes to people aiming at families when criticizing politicians.

The education minister insisted that although politicians sign up for public life, this does not give person ‘carte blanche to attack our family members really for no good reason’, and ‘at some point we are going to really have to a discussion in this country about how far we really go when it comes to persons who are in public life.

‘When we start attacking and making fun, singing songs, telling lies on social media about our family members, that’s really to me where the line should be drawn,” Fitzgerald said.”

I fervently agree with the minister, a person personal life should remain personal and private unless it affects his/her elected duties but as far as I am aware that the person that the prime minister was responding to never attacked any of his family members so what really brought about this reaction?  Some may say that I am splitting hairs at this point but then Minister Fitzgerald is being disingenuous and intentionally misleading.

Maybe someone from the Marathon constituency needs to ‘flip the bird, at this ‘political Judas’ the next time he knocks on their door asking for their vote.

After all he did sell them out for the sake of his job all because of his avarice.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
