"Corbett May be Possessed" - Satirical Newspaper Column About Corbett's Death Bed Conversion
http://www.mcall.com/news/local/white/mc-bw-tom-corbett-20140312,0,927990,full.columnMany people have noticed that Tom Corbett seems to have undergone a political conversion, as he realized he was on his political death bed. Spending the next 4 years being ignored in Shaler Township didn't look so good.
Allentown Morning Call columnist Bill White has now written a satirical column imagining that staff in Corbett's office are wondering if he has become possessed because his policies have shifted. He actually is trying to appear to care about public education and poor people.
Maybe instead of an evil twin with a goatee, he has been replaced with his good twin from an alternate universe.
Excerpt:
Corbett said "Now I want to hear your ideas for addressing the problems our state's working poor and jobless are facing. We need to begin showing people more compassion instead of treating them like deadbeats. These federal food stamp cuts have been unconscionable. And what idiot imposed this asset test?"
"This fracking. It poses tremendous environmental risks. Why isn't our Department of Environmental Protection acting more aggressively? I'm surprised no one has beefed that department up."
