1. Alan Ramsay is probably in hospital today with severe finger cramps after typing every single word of his SMH column today (as opposed to usual cut and pasting of 70% of it.)
2. I really hope Kevin Rudd is the new leader so that I can see him looking extremely uncomfortable in one of those required "having a beer in his local pub" photos that are deemed essential in every election campaign.
3. What was going on with Julia Gillard's hair yesterday? Did she pick a bad week to get a new style, or did the leadership challenge come on so fast that she had to do the press conference straight out of the shower? (I know that I should either be female or gay for that joke, but what the heck.)
4. Just how long is some of the Left commentary going to be about how this is all a Murdoch plot? It's funny, but I didn't know that Murdoch had much control over Phillip Adams (who came out strongly for Rudd a couple of weeks ago), or the Fairfax press or the ABC. What is Tim Dunlop going to say about this?
5. The best line from Matt Price's piece today:
Logic dictates Coalition disunity should be monopolising the headlines, except logic and federal Labor caucus go together like foie gras and tomato sauce.
Gillard's hair was all moussed-out and up to provide a kind of balance to her man-suit, with wide floppy leg cut.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's my only theory.
I've never seen politicians cooing about themselves and how they make such a great looking couple either, which is what Gillard and Rudd were doing on the evening news. It was - eeewwww, yetch!
Do they realise they're going for a vote to potentially run the country, not a dating game, nor a marriage - to each other?
It was strange, very, very strange. As well as being relatively repulsive.
