Some very serious shit went down over the past week – much of it centred around our national parliament – and for that reason our tweets-of-the-week judges opted for a little bit of levity first.
And you can’t get anything much funnier than a Steve Price opinion piece. So our joint winners this week are Miss Polly and Susan Butcher etc, etc, bloody etc (at top and below) for their pithy observations on a Price article in the Herald Sun that tried to make a loveable lamb of a leader out of Dutton.
Okay, back to the buttocks-grasping cesspit that is Canberra.
While we all continued to scratch our heads over what on earth was really wrong with a political party trying to capitalise on the possible coverup of a possible serious sexual assault on Capital Hill by the other side of the aisle, the Opposition started last week with a monster politicisation of the very issues they deplored being politicised. But as tweets from Brad Barnes, etc, etc, and Dr Sheep Person Podge show, it didn’t turn out all that well for the LNP.
bradpsychology, Liz and Rick had their own takes on various aspects of such things…
… while stranger and Catherine (Rollinson) Williams played the who-knew what game!
Getting back to basics and where all this started, The Trolling Stones trolled the never-released Gaetjens report and Chris Wallace went couch surfing, among other relevant things.
Chris Wallace, be patient. NACC is coming soon!
Okay, enough of that for now. Let’s pay fulsome tribute to some of the finest politics journalists and essayists this country has ever produced, apart from the aforementioned Steve Price.
Aw, fuck it! Let’s not. Take it away, Jo Dyer and Scott Burchill.
How many of you BUGgers out there ponder the very same question we do: how the fuck did Sheridan ever rise above his true station in life: cardigan model for the latest Lowes catelogue.
Barrie Cassidy and Patrick Keneally in this exchange got stuck into one of Sheridan’s far-right-wing mates at The Australian, the deplorable Paul Kelly who many decades ago seemed quite reasonable until he was well and truly ruperted by the Newscorpse gravy train.
And let’s finish off with amante2 taking aim at another of the Oz’s rabid and risible right-wing warriors.
Let’s just all pause for a moment and ponder how the likes of Sheridan, Kelly and Shanahan can pen such shit without dying of shame.
