Dr. Brown has unveiled his presidential Council of Economic Advisors. They include (as always) his brother Philip Butterfield of HSBC, Southlands crony Brian Duperreault, and BIU treasurer Cecil Durham. The surprise member is Bob Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) and doyen of that top stratum of the American urban elite that Dr. Brown so adores.
Steering clear of the economic talk he floated last week, Dr. Brown has announced “This year is the Year of the Family and the council will be looking at ways to enable parents to spend quality time both at work and at home in a bid to reduce some of the island’s social problems.”
That’s really quite a wonderful example of Ewartspeak:
- Yes, we care about Bermudian families. Just not the ones that include foreigners!
- The head of BET will help improve our family values. BET has done such a great job of that in the US!
