Shih Ming-teh To Rejoin Taiwan’s Independence Party?

From Wednesday's China Post:

Hsu said he plans to ask two former party chiefs, Shih Ming-teh and Lin Yi-hsiung, to rejoin the DPP so that they may work together to reinvigorate the opposition party, demoralized earlier by repeated election defeats in recent years.  [emphasis added]

Wild stuff.  In 2006, ex-DPP man Shih Ming-teh led KMT marches against Chen Shui-bian, accusing Taiwan's DPP president of corruption.  Shih is persona non grata in the party.  But the wheels of fate turn.  Two years later, Chen leaves office at the end of his term, and within months it's discovered he (or his wife) spirited $20 million of leftover campaign funds overseas.  Chen cancels his DPP membership — and Shih Ming-teh will be asked to return to the party.

Doesn't mean he'll accept, or even that the DPP wants him back.  But it's a remarkable reversal of fortunes, to say the least.
