Zed Reshuffles His Deck

… as well as having no picture cards in a poker game.

Must be really depressing to shuffle with so few cards in the deck.

Troy W is the Federal candidate for Fraser.

is troy williams standing in belco (wotever the seat is called) or molonglo? I forget which one people were suggesting.

Crikey – I agree about the ALP embarrassments and duds. So many – Berry (opinions might vary, but I think he’s a dud), Porter, McDonald, Hargreaves, Gentleman (no doubts on any of them), Corbell (has done things, but mostly wrong).

In fact, a Coalition of Utter Duds would have a significant majority, especially as Ms Foskey would be a shoo-in.

Pratt, Burke and Smyth (Smurf) are political embarrassments. Labor has plenty too. The Liberals will never be an effective Opposition or Government with people like Pratt, Burke and Smyth in their ranks.

If one picks up a scoopful of various kinds of crud, blends it for an hour and serves it with a nice press conference, it is still crud. Mulcahy was as close to a politician as they had, and he jumped and was pushed at the same time. Zed is a poster boy for nothing at all; he, Burke and Pratt are three of the most aptly named politicians in the country. Vicki Dunne and Jackie Burke – say no more. Brendan Smyth had the leadership in a lowgrade party of not very many and got ditched – before attempting to get under Kyle Sandiland’s guard – and failing. Stefaniak recognised that he was …. a bit limited and bailed after his turn as leader.

The only appropriate shadow distribution would be to make the members of this bunch each a spokesperson on (a) being stupid, (b) being opportunistically stupid, (c) idiot stunts, (d) political kamikaze and (e) utter irrelevance.

The ALP is not much better, but has one grownup (Stanhope) and a couple (Barr/Gallagher) with some promise.
