This week’s Tweet of the Week winner is proof that you don’t necessarily have to come up with the ultimate zinger or thigh-slapping putdown or savage character assassination to have the coveted blue-ribbon sash placed around your shoulders.

Our judges simply liked Just Your Average Punter’s summary (at top and below) of the week past and the week ahead, no matter how depressing it was and will be, especially as we await those flag-festooned utes showing us that if January 26 is not set in stone for ever, you’re unpatriotic and unAustralian.

Assuming that Just Your Average Punter’s “misogynistic slurs” refers to the pile-on by bitter old white men and their equally bitter handmaidens on retiring New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, let’s cover that next.

So many right-wing nut jobs piled on the poor thing – including Greg “Lowes has some great new cardigans on special” Sheridan, Parnell Palme McGuiness, Campbell Who?man and many other anti-woke warriors but let’s look at what The Bug‘s Twitterfeed thought of two of the very worst of them – some braindead moron named Douglas Murray on the Rita Panahi Show (such a thing exists?!) and the perpetually puffed up and wrongly indignant Piers Akerman.

Andy and Sleeping Giants Oz didn’t miss their targets.

Nor did Ross Appleby, Craig and LORD Sir Thomas Wynn!

We at The Bug were particularly chuffed that LORD Sir Thomas Wynn used our very own meme!

A general summing up of such matters – very much in the vein of this week’ s winner – was the brilliantly acerbic Mike Carlton.

And speaking of our winner, let’s give Just Your Average Punter a second bite at the cherry.

With another old Liberal hand in the news this week – Tony Abbott being suggested as a Senate replacement for Jim “I’m not relying on evidence” Molan – was there any further proof needed that the next Liberal PM might not have been born yet.

Felicity saw some value on the Mad Monk’s return to Canberra after he is carried away sobbing and wailing in turns from the funeral of the love of his and Greg Sheridan’s life, George “I had no real interest in the fact that many of my priests were up to their nuts in little boys’ guts” Pell.

19245, FR? Ouch!

Taking a cheap shot at the Dirty Digger – as has The Bug a fair bit over recent days – was Justin Brash.

Apologies to those Buggers out there having a late breakfast.

Simon Rosenberg had a lovely little tilt at the poisoned leprechaun…or at least we tink he did…

… and Tony provided some solid evidence of some pretty muddled thinking. We’re not sure what Uncle Warren is on but we want some!
