I haven't watched much of the Footy show for a while, but tonight, as luck would have it I had beers and there was no Futurama. Anyway, Jeff was on and as much as some say Sam is probing or hard at it, it was hilarious to see the old fraud up against a professional. Like a punch-drunk boxer against his shadow. Flailing at the nether.
Not that it should be a surprise, because Newman probably planned it. He's not dumb, he knows he's of limited ability and realized he was bush-league compared to Kennett. But it was nice and the cream on the cake was watching the wannabee Hutchy from the shadows act like he has the high-ground and Kennett should defer to him. A liar calling the master liar a liar and being sheepish about it.
Oh well, it was all show, but it was something special to see a true operator, with no opinion poll to please have at it againt a rabble.
I voted for Kennett in '99. Not because he was from my side of politics, but because my side of politics was full of inbred ****ers who gave unions and progressive politics a bad name. Sadly, Kennetts gone and while Ted is OK, in the big game we're left with Abbot and his anti-liberal cadre of peodophile supporters and libertarians, and Gillard and her inbred ****ers on the formerly progressive side, who still give unions and progressives a bad name.
Oh the nostalgia!
Bring back Jeff, Keating or at least put Turnbull back in the leadership of the (wrongly named) liberals and Bob Brown as ALP boss and mentor. **** it would be a good day to see Malcolm lead a free enterprise liberal party against Bob leading a progressive labor party where both agreed that the societies capital was based upon looking after the poorest and not supporting well-payed home owners a tax write off and all that.
Oh well, that was then, this is now. Jeff was more now than then, but it's still good to see a master toy with prey.
It's so ironic and sad that one of our best political operators, who had the guts to admit he was wrong about issues (something that's not allowed in politics these days) was dueling against a feathery psuedo-intellect such as Sam Newman. But I guess this is where we are as a society. Bread and games. Even our best have to be involved in the games to get a mention.
