Oh, the backstabbing B*

Mona Sahlin, just a week ago, told the Swedish media that she had full confidence in the head of the Swedish unions, Wanja Lundby-Wedin, and wanted her to stay. Now all of the sudden, she cannot get rid of this union gangster from boards fast enough. For once I almost feel sorry for the Wanja character, getting hanged to save Mona’s backside. Rightfully the head of the unions in Sweden should be blamed for a lot of things, including some of the resent fall in opinion polls for the social democrats, but this is like having the blind blaming the deaf for not hearing the train coming. Does Mona Sahlin really believe that even the easily duped Swedish citizens will fall for her interpretation of Brutus? She could at least have had some spokesperson do her dirty work for her, that's how politics work. I’m starting to wonder if Mona really understands the political game.
