The very hurt sooks in the mainstream mediocre who stopped crying long enough to lash out angrily at naughty Paul Keating for calling them hurtful names mid week were no doubt mightily shaken by the endless barrage of depth charges lobbed back at them over the following days by the Twitterati.

Our Tweet of the Week judges couldn’t go past this clever take from Glenn Gibson (at top and below), all the more so because he roped ABC’s Insiders into the fray, seeing one of its panellists on Sunday was Peter “We only wrote that Red Alert series to spark debate!” Hartcher who pretended not to be very hurt at all by the former PM’s invective at the National Press Club.

Glenn summed up things pretty well! Poor, thoughtful, reasonable, professional, Laura Tingle, suggesting war might not necessarily be the best way forward and at the very least we should discuss it, caught between a couple of tired old white warmongers, one who had misplaced his cardie, with David Speers pretending to drop a turd to show what he thought of Keating’s tirade or his just completed interview with Richard Marles – or both!

Riff Raff also neatly summarised the metaphorical naval firepower that erupted after that media club do.

As did timdunlop.

And take it away, also, Colin King, Daniel Best – Author and Graham Kahabka.

Of course, the mainstream mediocre probably had a point because, you know, Paul can get a little bit mouthy and Peter Hartcher’s boss, SMH editor Bevan Shields, quickly made the point that the MSM abhors cheap, personal attacks. (yes, you’re welcome to insert your own loud and prolonged canned laughter right here).

Now, where were we?

Brett Lee and Michael J Wyllie came from slightly different angles that didn’t exactly float Labor’s boat either….

While Ronni Salt (thanks for picking up my Ian Hartcher mistake!) and Mark Kenny ran out of depth charges and fired off a few forward tubes at all those sooky, easily hurt journos we mentioned at the outset.

Which makes us reflect once more on Peter Hartcher’s pathetic excuse for his warmongering series. It was fair enough for him and Andrew Knox to paint the very disturbing picture of war with China within three years “just to spark debate” yet if a former PM calls that rubbish – hey, he might have only been trying to spark debate – it’s all fingers pointed and scorn raised over some colourful language to distract from his arguments.

So, are we done here? Not yet! Take it away, MFW, Tony Windsor and and RambunctiousGoat…

Okay, enough already!

No! Just one more that surprised us a bit; this from Stephen Mayne. Maybe Stephen doesn’t actually believe Paul needs to apologise but was only trying to stir much-needed debate?

The NSW state election is almost done and dusted and our judges liked a subject we also covered in a Media Glass House column, that planted SMH piece that described Dominic Perrottet’s wife, who sadly suffered three miscarriages in 10 pregnancies, as the “eiptome of parenthood juggling”. We’ll just say once more to the scribe who wrote that nonsense: get the fuck outside more!

And we had to give Tom the whistleblower MK2 a guernsey for this…

Weekend at Bernie’s. Bewdiful!

Let’s give Colin King a second mention for his dig at that revolting non-news show, Sky after Dark…

…and let’s finish this column with a meme that could make your sphincter pucker – no, believe it or not, it’s not an image of Peter Dutton! – so here’s to you Derek Robinson!
