First comes smoke, then mirrors

It pays to keep your mouth shut. Ask DA chief whip John Steenhuisen. When McBuffalo had his maiden question and answer session in parliament earlier this year, Steenhuisen kept interrupting until the Cupcake lost his patience and told him to “shut up”. In atonement, he promised the DA loudmouth a Cuban cigar next time he answers questions in the house. True to form, Steenhuisen was quiet as a mouse as Cupcake responded to questions on Wednesday, and he was duly rewarded with a pricey Cohiba as promised. But just as the exchange was happening, Mini Obama extended his hand thinking another Cuban would come his way. Alas, it was not to be. Close, but no cigar!
