Last week, the Bahamas Uncensored column described former AG Carl Bethel as the idiot savant of Bahamian politics. This week, he is the man who knows no political father.
Newly elected FNM leader, Hubert Ingraham, in his defence against the onslaught by Foreign Minister Fred Mitchell and Carl Bethelﾒs manufactured visa scandal, disassociated himself from the recent remarks of Carl Bethel.
Mr. Ingraham said that the visa issue was a statement by Carl Bethel and not one of the FNM. He said that while the FNM might adopt what Carl Bethel said, the fact is it was Carl Bethelﾒs statement.
Now that is an interesting thing for the new Leader of the Opposition to say in the face of the fact that two other people showed up at the Sunday press conference to make the announcement on visas with Carl Bethel. One was the Leader of the Opposition business in the House and now Deputy Leader Brent Symonette; the other was Alvin Smith, who was then Leader of the Opposition.
So Carl is on his own, no support from the FNM. That is why the Bahamas Uncensored website, this week, describes him as the idiot savant of Bahamian politics but also as the ﾓun-valuableﾔ JACKASS OF THE WEEK.
