How can I convince them that Peter Costello is still our man, even though he announced he’s quitting, without looking ridiculous? How can I get them to appreciate his special qualities? I know – subtle. I have to be subtle. I have to hit exactly the right note of optimism restrained by realism:
Peter, rise again. Your people await their Messiah.
Perfect.
I wish you could have seen the Miracle of the King David Hotel Opening Night Dinner. You would have believed too, my friend.

Get it over with, Andrew. Just do it with him and end this sexual tension.
I hope someone else witnessed the graphic in the printed version of the Herald Sun but showing Costello as Jesus? Seriously Bolt is becoming more deluded on this matter. I know he doesn’t do the graphics but it would have been approved.
Not sure where I heard it but someone summed up Costello retiring very simply. It went along the lines of Costello seeing that the polls were in such a way that he could not see Rudd losing the next election so why should he sit around for another 3-4years in opposition for a crack at the top job?
as John Hartigan said: all eyeballs and no insight.
Bolt clearly believes he has the power to affect Costello by puffing this ludicrous, indeed embarrassing, piece into the press. It’s hard to say who you’d pick out of the two of them in the Miss Arrogance contest.
LOL@confessions! I don’t think Hartigan had Bolt in mind when he said that, but it’s incredibly apt, and about almost everything else he or Bolt publishes. Like superdreary blog The Punch….
Does anyone have a copy of yesterday’s Hun that they could scan that image and send it to me? I’d like to include it in the post.
Fair suck of the sav , Jeremy, you’re asking the wrong demographic, there. You don’t honestly believe anyone ’round here actually buys that shite.
Wot joe2 sed.
If Costello is the Messiah then Bolt must be the high priest. Sacrificing asylum seekers, muslims, greenies, and rational thinkers everywhere at the altar.
$weetie’s no Messiah, just a very lazy boy.
If Costelloo (sic) is the Messiah then who the fuck is the Virgin Mary?
Bronnie?
**shudders**
Cheers.

(titter)…that wouldn’t be the same King David Hotel his Zionist mates blew up in a terrorist attack in 1946, would it..?
