With the passing of Dr. Bishop yesterday the flood of eulogies and commendations will follow in the coming days. Replete with the obligatory parcels of tiredly worn clichés – “national treasure”, “cultural icon”, “sorely missed”- many commentators and public figures will latch on to these often times too easily regurgitated insincere platitudes that ironically doesn’t even measure up to Dr. Bishop’s contribution but nevertheless aptly begins to describe her and her contributions to this overflowing cesspit of dung and retching detritus.
