Who will Belinda “Date” Next?

With her history of “dating” (as the kids call it) powerful men in her climb up the social ladder, whom do you think Belinda Stronach will target next? In her pursuit of power, to whom will she next offer her assets? Who will next wear her Gucci footprint on his powerful forehead?

Here are a few possibilities:

Jack Layton, because she knows who really wears the pants in the Liberal government.

Irwin Cotler, because she wants Bev McLachlin’s job.

Izzy Asper’s sons, because they are not nepots, either.

George Stroumboulopoulollapalooza, because he’s cool and countercultural and would never sell out to the mainstream establishment, and because he has a daily show on the CBC.

Ben Mulroney, because she admires his makeup.

Vladimir Putin, because she’s now an expert on democratic reform.

Peter Mansbridge, because everyone else did.

Bono, because she misunderstood how it was spelled and what it meant.

Phil Fontaine, because he’s Aboriginal, and Aboriginals came over from Asia, and Asians have big … oh wait, wrong continent.

Justin Trudeau, on the side.

One of Jean Chrétien’s eighteen brothers or 617 first-cousins, out of pity for the old man.

The editorial board at the Globe and Mail – no, give it up, guys, it’s never going to happen.

Tim Murphy, because a deal is a deal
