They could've had an astronaut...

...but no, they went with the space cadet...

Perhaps dumpster diving for "star" candidates does have a downside.

TORONTO — Conservative defector Eve Adams failed on Sunday in her bid to run as a Liberal candidate in the looming federal election.

The sitting member of Parliament, welcomed personally into the fold by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, was handily beaten for the party’s nomination in the Toronto riding of Eglinton-Lawrence by lawyer Marco Mendicino.

I guess Justin is so used to living on the dark side he couldn't discern Ms. Adam's deeply flawed character. He was able to ignore both the car wash incident and the sign-stealing mess.

Truth is, even Steffi Mouthmarbles would have stepped around this political punji pit.

At a guess, a search of Ms. Adams’s soul could be conducted in the course of your average smoke break, if not between cigarettes. Yet Mr. Trudeau professed to be delighted with his new recruit, as untroubled by her serial loyalties as by the voluminous baggage she brings.

I can't wait to see what Eve Adams, neophyte Green Party candidate has to say about Pierre Lite.

Remember, Shiny Pony... if they'll do it with you... they'll do it to you.
