Climb-down Cleary is at it again.
Not surprisingly, Noob Bloc NDP member of parliament Ryan Cleary is furiously sucking back his latest effort to tell it like it is.
First, it was seals.
Take a position in 2008.
Then abandon it.
Now, it’s pensions.
Apparently, he really doesn’t think his pension should be larger, as he said, plain as day on Friday.
"Would I deserve a pension of $28,000 after six years? Probably not … It should be more than that," the St. John’s South-Mount Pearl MP.
You can hear the whole interview from CBC in their first story on Cleary’s latest cockup. [Audio file]
A couple of days later and Ryan is claiming his opinion on Friday was not his opinion at all.
His opinion is now something completely different:
MPs deserve fair compensation, but should we qualify for a pension after just 6 years in office?
In my opinion, the answer is no.
And we can all rest easy because, for Cleary,
My focus is not on my pension, but on everyone else’s.
Now there’s something you can find comfort in. After all, it’s not like Ryan doesn’t have a distressing habit of saying one thing one minute and then something entirely different a minute later.
Your humble e-scribbler was dead wrong when this guy won his seat. Ryan Cleary the politician is an accident that couldn’t wait to happen, over and over and over again.
