I was amused at the latest go around by the various political parties here. The bouquet goes to former Federal Liberal Opposition Leader, John Hewson, for describing Mark Latham as a Labor Party Suicide Bomber.
The bucket, of course, is dumped on those ardent Mark Latham supporters who are now denying any such connection and scrambling to get as far away as possible. Too late! It's no wonder Mark trashed the party and its members. What an amoral bunch of hypocrits! How much truth there is in his newly published diaries, I don't know. But if even it is half true, that makes the party a cesspit of venomous, power-hungry zealots who are unable to see the wider cause and are totally focused on their own ambitions.
Can anyone tell me the last time a Laborite came up with an original and workable policy on anything? When Mark tried, he was directed to some nutjob public relations 'guru' and given policies that, if not so extreme, may have worked. Even the grass-roots labor votes turned against them at the last election.
And so, the Federal Liberals are dining out on an unexpected banquet. Every Liberal MP is grinning from ear-to-ear and giving out tasty sound bites to the media. What mirth. Manna from heaven to distract everyone from what else is going on in politics: The UN. The Iraqi War. The Price of Petrol. Interest Rates. It has all been pushed aside in favour of the tang and zest of roasting Labor politicians.
No doubt, at the end, the Liberals will be sitting back, full bellied and picking their teeth with Mark Latham's sharp rebukes, chuckling over such a magnificent feast he provided... free of charge.
