I agree bertus, it’s quite beyond the pale. And when one reflects on bolt’s hysterical outburst at being *named* in Rudd’s climate change speech the other day, it’s hard not to arrive at the conclusion that a certain keyboard warrior is uniquely in possession of a Waterford jaw.
Pedro said “Hahahhahahahaaaaa. You really mean, until the show dumps all conservative panellists…. it can’t possibly be a serious political affairs show. ”
Hmmm…. I think the conservative panelists they’ve got now are a bit of a joke. The problem isn’t that they are partisan, it’s that their hold on reality is not strong. It was a train wreck watching Middleton and Marr with Piers on the weekend. Piers could barely string an intelligible sentence together. When he did say something it was often factually wrong and Barry and the others had to correct him. By the end they were mocking him, treating him with barely disguised, but well-deserved contempt.
Surely there are some intelligent conservative commentators out there? At the moment it’s a freak show.
Are we having an open thread for this week?
Yep, it’ll be appearing shortly.
I forget who but, relatively recently, Inciters had someone sane in the RWDB armchair. Will the ABC scrub {Play the ball please, not the man-Dave} Akerman’s “..not as familiar with bumcracks as you..” & “..thanks for the info on your domestic arrangements..” slurs?
