He’s been described lately as the Barry Humphries of politics; he’s up on top of those stairs hopping into the VIP flight overseas waving like Dame Edna Everage….
Once he’s on board he turns into Barry Humphries, he turns into the pig of Australian politics; this is a bloke who we have only just scratched the surface on.
When will these boofheads learn?
Here’s Kevin Rudds satisfaction rating:
Here’s Peter Dutton’s google trend:
As far as the public is concerned, here’s an absolute nobody – some arbitrary mouthpiece from a party being massively rejected by the electorate – calling the most popular Prime Minister in a generation “pig”.
The cause of the Liberal Party’s woe isn’t Kevin Rudd or the ALP or a bribed electorate refusing to realise their mistake, or left wing media bias or (etc etc, insert pathetic moonbat excuse here) – it’s the members and representatives of the Liberal Party itself.
This stuff seeps into the public hivemind from the sides – it sets the context for when they do actually pay attention to politics. With rubbish like this being delivered daily, colouring the broader canvas of the public’s perception of the Coalition – it’s little wonder that even when the Libs do have something intelligent to say, the public simply dismiss it.
This kind if idiocy also goes a long way toward explaining why their female vote is in retreat.
What a rabble.

This is a small point, but I think Dutton must mean he turns into Les Patterson, another Humphries character, once he’s on board. I suspect the urbane Humphries would take exception to being characterised as a “pig” by, of all people, Peter Dutton.
For this nong-entity to confuse Les Patterson (a character portrayed by Barry Humphries) with the erudite and urbane Barry Humphries himself just shows how off the planet he is.
(NB – nong-entity: a person who is both unknown to most people, and a nong simultaneously)
I think you mean Wingnuts, Poss. Moonbats are Lefties.
He must have meant Humphries himself, because here is Patterson being suave and urbane and representing Australia at its best to the world….

Great post Possum. I do like Dutton’s logic that the best way to criticise someone for poor behaviour is to call them a pig. Gotta love that high road Peter…
Being called a “pig” by a former Queensland policeman will probably appeal to Mr Rudd’s somewhat wry sense of humour.
some music that came to my mind –
Boofheads Boofheads Roly poly boofheads (to tune of Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes)
They’re a rabble and they’ll never ever be any good (to tune of He’s a Rebel)
And to top it all off the Liberals have really outdone themselves over the last 24 hours, trying to revivify the One Nation demographic that served them so well back in the glory days of Howard. That is, when the issue was adroitly handled by a master politician(whether you liked him or not is another question) and resonated with the electorate.
Handled by the likes of the chancers that are left behind after Howard’s fall from grace, it all just seems sleazy, tawdry and opportunistic.
So, who are the real ‘pigs’, prepared to roll around in crap, because they love it so much?
Laugh? I nearly shat…
Actually, I posted it to my facebook profile – more or less the same thing…
true.
