Warren Kinsella- You Can Erase The Memories....

But Google cache doesn't forget.

Seems Kinsella is still pretty peeved by Rocco Rossi's decision to run as a PC under Tim Hudak. On his blog today he has posted comments made by members of the PC Party trying to show Rossi or Hudak in a bad light and as hypocrites. Now I read Kinsella's blog daily in the run-up to election day for Toronto mayor. Ford was my favorite with Rossi being my second choice. I also remember Kinsella writing glowing posts about both Rossi's character and platform almost on a daily basis. So I searched his blog and found nothing about Rossi. Poof. Gone. Vanished.

So I tried Google, a bloggers best friend. Sure enough, posts showed up from Kinsella's blog. But clicking on the link would take you to the original posting on his blog, with the only thing left being "Nothing was found!"

And that's why you gotta love Google's cached page feature:

"It was a great privilege to work for Rocco Rossi, and with his amazing team. As Marcus Gee wrote, Rocco was classy, smart and decent right to the end.

And he was the best choice for Toronto mayor to the end, too.

In politics, however, you sometimes win, and you sometimes lose. We didn’t win. We weren’t going to win.

I joined the campaign late – I, like others, had been waiting for John Tory to jump into the race, to no avail – but I can tell you that Rocco had put together an amazing team and plan in the interim. He had it all. A coalition of Liberals, Tories, New Democrats – plus an abundance of ideas, fundraising and a smart vision.

What he didn’t have, so much, was name recognition. When you are up against career politicians, that’s a problem. So, under the terrific leadership of campaign manager Bernie Morton, we did edgy, creative stuff to capture voters’ attention and support. Much as we tried, it didn’t work.

The cynics and the nobodies and the anonymous chat-room haters – the ones who wouldn’t know how to run a two-house paper route, let alone a political campaign – have started the inevitable sniping at me and Bernie and Rocco and others. That’s fine. Snipe away, nobodies. You are who you are.

I know we had the best candidate and the best team and the best plan. And it was, as I say, a privilege to work for Rocco. I guarantee that we haven’t heard the last of him. (Well, Kinsella sure got that part right)
