A quickie cabinet shuffle – the third in eight months – didn’t produce the media coverage they likely thought it might.
Check the headline.
Of course, it doesn’t help when you have to admit in the post-shuffle scrum that the shuffle postponed a scheduled update in the breast cancer scandal that has dogged the government.

Who’s laughing now smart arse? update: There was no secret that Danny Williams, Premier was not enamoured of John Crosbie, former cabinet minister.
No surprise, therefore, that Stephen Harper, arranged to have Crosbie installed as lieutenant governor.
Crosbie may be silenced daily but he still gets his shots in. Like say reminding everyone assembled for a cabinet swearing in that - as the Telegram put it - “Brian Mulroney used to have frequent cabinet shuffles when the former prime minister wanted to deflect criticism from his government.”
Everyone laughed and the incident made news.
Talk about getting payback with the seemingly most innocuous of comments.
