World class Labor Party

Only in Melbourne could such a pyrrhic victory be so feted. An attempt to head off further speculation about the absence of hard righties of gold digger stock has gone horribly wrong, and the Lefties are again backs-to-the-wall, balls-in-the-mincer. Really, their political platform makes as much sense as living in St Kilda, and everyone knows the Left is too pure to ever sully its hands with power. Hence the Greens.

Those boosting Ms Gillard are kidding themselves, and even if she were the hottest thing of the political moment (a position I have already categorically refuted), she's been dating the boys from the wrong end of town. Whilesoever the world class NSW hard right ALP machine is standing behind the world class political genius Morris Iemma it is clear the Feds will be saddled with Beazley. KRudd might be a goer if he can remember where the knife is and how to use it.

As always, Gerard Henderson unleashes his razor wit in an us-versus-them tirade of pure logic. Of course "Howard-Hater" is a perfectly reasonable word choice, for what else could drive someone away from John and Jeanette's beneficent egalitarianism? It simply must be unreasoning hate, most probably by those envious southerners. Through careful application of selective quotation and a most astute insistence that Labor continue to lug their whale around well after the Japan-sympathisers of the ALP have had their way with him, Henderson once again proves he has everyone's best interests at heart... but falls short of perfection. It is bleedingly obvious that Keating is still to blame for it all.
