wow factor

As usual, after an election drubbing, the defeated party votes in a new leader.

Guess which one they picked.

Yes, the one on the right, Brendon_Nelson.
As Defence Minister, his only claim to fame was to the loose the body of Jacob_Kovco in one of saddest cockups of Australia’s role in the Iraq war.

He’s an ambitious twerp with no deep convictions beyond his own personal ambitions. The earring has gone but the pretentious poser remains.

Balance is restored

Declaration: I am a rusted on Labor supporter, so allow me the indulgence of this pre election “hope and gloat".

First, this evocative John Spooner illustration and associated article.

After 11 plus years of John_Howard and his control freak conservatism, this Saturday provides a real chance throw him out. His ardent supporters still say the polls are wrong and can’t believe the mood for change.

His cock ups are many. He joined George_Bush at the hip with the war in Iraq however I dare anyone to find any mention of the word Iraq during this whole campaign.

Also, no mention of AWB_Limited and the $300,000,000 paid in wheat bribes to Saddam Hussien.

His Health Minister, Tony_Abbott called Bernie_Banton a political stuntsman for trying to deliver a petition for medication. Bernie will most likely not live to see the results on Saturday night.

Enough… here’s hoping the bookies have picked it, they usually do.
