State of Affairs

Kevin Rudd used the expression, "fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate," three times in a conversation. The man is such a revolting try-hard, how can anyone still like him.

Word of advice, Kevvy, nobody uses that expression, other than, perhaps, in a satirical TV sketch.

Julia Gillard opens her mouth to talk and half the population suffers from acquired narcolepsy syndrome.

Penny Wong sounds like a computer generated voice, you can almost hear the switch click to "on" when she starts to talk.

And Peter Garrett approves an exploration tunnel (expansion by stealth?) at the Ranger Mine in Kakadu.

It's a sad day, indeed, when I have to admit, to myself more than to any of you, that the most interesting people in politics, for good reasons or for bad, are Malcolm Turnbull and Wilson Tuckey.

When did all our politicians become scared, beige carbon copies of each other, as if they are spewed out of some great sausage-making, political non-entity machine, some where on the Bruce Hwy, just out of Canberra? When did they become such yawn inspiring, gormless politi-trolls?
