Accountability: Another day, another broken promise...

As tempting as it is to re-write, go to PoliticsWatch.com for the latest abandonded principle from Harper and the Duff Conacher/Democracy Watch smack-down on the subject.

It appears the Accountability plank is headed for the sawdust pile 'toot sweet,' as Ted Menzies might say.

My hunch is that it is likely because the Tories are having trouble finding smart staffers for their newly minted ministers. As reported earlier this week in the Mope & Wail, hiring is a bit of a schmozzle and being blamed for muck-ups in the last week.

Though it appears that there is 'no shortage of resumes,' the quality appears to be questionable.

Not surprising since the accountability reforms include a Kilignon mind-wipe upon dismissal and barring ex-staffers from talking to anyone including their priest and assorted family pets.

Who would want that job?

And if you did, are you really smart enough to work there?
