The Blind-with-Power Leading the Blind?

The nickname Homer might be appropriate for Local Government Minister, Tony Simpson, for more than his shared name with a cartoon character. The ancient Greek writer, Homer, he of the Iliad and the Odyssey, was reputed to be blind. The picture below shows Homer with a guide. Replace the guide, Glaucus, by Colin Barnett and you have 'the blind-with-power leading the blind'.

Now we just need the dogs to beset them both.

Incidentally, Glaucus was also the name of a sea god, born mortal and turned immortal upon eating a magic herb. Has CB been indulging in the magic herbs too much and succumbed to delusions of grandeur?
