Bayou 'gravy train'
July 8, 2009
Dear Sir,
Having read the lead story in today's Royal Gazette (July 8) regarding Dr. Brown and his 'bodyguard' attending the Bayou Classic ball game at the Louisiana Superdome, the expression 'gravy train' came to mind.
The "gravy train" is an idiomatic expression that is used to describe any lucrative endeavour, however in politics the "gravy train" refers to gorging on luxuries, since someone else (taxpayers) foots the bill.
However is there anyone in Bermuda who thinks the Hon. Premier cares what we, the mere taxpayer, thinks?
He is the driver and the gravy train is rolling along and it isn't going to stop until someone pulls the emergency cord.
