Cellucci joins Stronach empire (Damn, we are not rid of him!)
Frank Stronach has recruited another high-profile politician to add lustre to his embattled Magna Entertainment Corp., hiring former U.S. ambassador Paul Cellucci as a senior executive at the gambling and race track company.

Sources said that Mr. Cellucci, who officially left the ambassadorial post in Ottawa yesterday, is to be named vice-president of development. It is understood that Mr. Cellucci will be based near his home in Boston, but he will travel frequently to Magna Entertainment's head office in Aurora, Ont.

Mr. Cellucci and a spokesman for Magna Entertainment did not return phone calls yesterday to confirm the appointment. During an interview with The Globe and Mail this week Mr. Cellucci indicated he had a new job, but declined to discuss details.

"My new duties will bring me to Canada on a regular basis," he said.

(Note of interest: Stronach's daughter is a Member of Parliament for the faux Conservatives and ran for the leadership last year, she lost.)

1. Why is an Auto Parts / Gambling conglomerate
the driving force on the Canadian right wing?

3. It isn't, per se...

although his daughter has the use of her/it's money for her campaigns and she will, no doubt, run for the leadership of the faux Conservative Party again or put her money behind her new boyfriend, Peter MacKay.

I just can't believe we are not rid of someone that was sooo dismissive of Canada and Canadians, the antithesis of what an ambassador should be, it is, at the very least, irksome.


Edited to correct spelling error.

8. Hmmm - I wonder what kind of mess he'll leave behind at Magna . .
.
.
.

He has a habit of doing that . .



When Massachusetts Governor Paul Cellucci took a job as Ambassador to Canada, he left Lieutenant Governor Jane Swift with a lot on her plate (or, in this image, her stove). "MCAS opposition" refers to the movement to keep the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exam from being a prerequisite for high school graduation in Massachusetts (view the November 18, 2000 and May 20, 2000, cartoons for more on MCAS; see the October 7, 2000 cartoon for more on Cellucci's need for a career change).

"Prestige projects going belly-up" refers to the stalled South Boston Convention Center.

Watch out Mr. Strohach

This guy ain't exactly got the Midas touch . . .

9. He just really loves us...
Not to worry it won't last, he's like the rest of them and he'll run Stronach's company into the ground.

10. Cellucci is a compulsive gambler
It was revealed during one of his MA campaigns that he'd lost like 70 G's at the track.

of Canadians, he lost there too, lol.

12. he's a small town hack
he should've thanked the almighty every day that an inarticulate boob like himself could become governor of a great state like massachusetts. instead he left to become bush's butt boy in the north country and now he'll cash in his chips. the man can barely speak proper english. can't imagine him being very much help to any privte sector outfit.
