Wade Verge is apparently back in Hisself’s good graces.
One clue was Wade’s prominent place moving the Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne during which Wade dutifully kissed The Boss’ hindmost regions with an enthusiasm not seen in the House of Assembly since the glory days of a former ambassador to Hy’s.
But the real clue to Wade’s new status is his meteoric shift of seats. The fellow has gone from being right next to the door to sitting right up by the Speaker. More importantly, Wade is now just inches away from Hisself, hisself.
It isn’t the treasury bench, but it’s a place of some prominence.
As proximity to The Old Man goes, Wade is way closer than the much beloved Diane Whelan. Wade is even closer than O’Brien The Embalmer. By the by, Kevin may not know where St. Anthony is, but he damn well knows where his meal ticket comes from.
Wade is in an august spot. The last ass to warm the particular bit of sealskin where Wade is now ensconced was none other than Senator Beth Marshall, as she now is.
But anyway, whatever Wade did, he did it right.
You can tell by just how pretty he is sitting now compared to where he was perched just three months ago.
