Sorry Brendon…can’t hear you.
It’s because I’m not listening.
So after 11 years of Mr I-know-what-right-for-’Straya we’ve got PM Jabberfest and the Honorable Leader of the I-Don’t-Have-A-Clue. Bring back Keating. At least he was entertaining:

Scumbags.
It sounds almost like he really is hoping Pam from Launceston or Mel from Lowood will tell him what the Liberal party is supposed to stand for (apart from statutory individual workplace agreements, which is the only statement of policy he’s made on his “listening tour”)…
G’day? Sorry, it’s goodbye. But not just yet, or indeed any time soon, unless you want to end your own embarrassment.
I suspect that there are many more ‘Leaders’ to flow under the electoral bridge before the contest once again gets serious.
I wonder how the staff feel? Hendy in particular? Or does he have other ‘workchoices’?
Heh!
I’m wondering what would happen if Brendan bumped into the Borg on one of his “conversation” tours…
It’s not even in sync!
(Maybe it’s this pedal powered PC – but the lips and the voice don’t match.)
This is a video.

Sorry. This one. (Complete with classic three blokes walk into a bar gag at the end.)

Given the applause, it is quite clear that Rudd is a Communist and has no place being the Prime Minister of Australia.
FGS, he doesn’nt even speak English when it matters.
A missed opportunity to educate the … whoever.
He really is flotsam. Just floating about, not doing much. He might choke a sea bird at some stage but it is more likely he’ll be washed up soon enough.
Unfuckinbelievable Brendon youfuckinmoron.
Best Nelson-themed post title ever!
Is somebody being paid to advise this man??
LOL! That’s very funny! Brendan seems so genuine… and caring!
Wonder what Malcolm, Julie, Tony and Nick are doing right now?

Rather a communist than a grey man with no soul who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
And I for one think it is refreshing to have a PM who doesn’t take the white supremist patriachal parochial english speaking red neck line of the US every single minute of the day… mandarin rocks… actually trying to establish good relationships with countries other than the US rocks…
That is so painful. When he smiles he looks so apologetic.
Sandy, I think the comment you’re referring to was ironic.
Wonder what Malcolm, Julie, Tony and Nick are doing right now?
They’re huddled around a bloodstained pentagram, wearing black robes and chanting demonic mantras in a desperate attempt to conjure up a new leader.
Jobby, don’t those sort of things exist for conjuring up the dead? I don’t think Howard’s going to come back again.
“I don’t think Howard’s going to come back again.”
Just wish you were right, Sam.
Old fart, will likely do the Jeff Kennett style excuse for a reappearance… “I just want to give back to the community what it has given me”. He did threaten selfless work in the charity area near retirement, whlie P.M.
The disadvantaged and infirm have still reason to be concerned.
He’s a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
I’ve been everywhere, man
I’ve been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve had my share, man
I’ve been everywhere
Nowhere Man, don’t worry,
Take your time, don’t hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.
Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missing,
Nowhere Man, the woooooooorld is [cough] at your command
Good god in heaven, I have never seen a senior politician so humiliated.
He must really feel like the unluckiest man in Canberra. Don’t worry Brendan, we both felt equally as uncomfortable about that little exhibition.
See you down at the milk bar.
Mr. Monotone rambles on for 3:29 for the loss. His facial expressions seem frequently unconnected to what he is saying, as if he is an E student at newsreader school. He makes ‘the eternal qualifier’ Howard look like an oratory genius!
He needs a sleep real soon – his appearance makes the conceptual jump from opposition leader to bag man out in Kings Cross at 3AM!!! so much easier to make.
He does appear to be suffering from all those late 3am nights!
LFMAO….. he sounds like a lefty wet – ‘listening tour’… OMG… harden up Brendan and act like the right wing death beast you’re supposed to be.
Amazing that he gets criticised on LP for acting like… well… A LPer.
I have some commonality with Brendan: I own a motorbike, have a few guitars and I’m not a minister of the crown.
I’m impossibly happy that Howard and his cronies have been give the shaft, but am adopting a ‘we will see’ attitude over the Rudd incumbency (early days and all that). Likewise it’s early days for the Opposition; why produce any policies when there’s the best part of 3 years until the next election?
A viable opposition is important vis a vis the whole (capital D)emocracy thing (maaaan). I think we should give (insert current opposition leader’s name here) a break.
Just relax and enjoy the show…
Raisin dag, all power to your mutual grooviness, with Dr Bren.
I would give him “a break” when he stopped being such an obnoxious prat. His comments, generally, are so far off the mark as to be laughable. The bloke seems to imagine that he is still in power and thus reflects the general attitude of opposition. When he is personally prepared to wake up to that reality, and take a big dose of “humilty”, people might start listening.

Nowhere Man??
don’t be so unkind, his spiritual home is a Gutter in King’s Cross at 3am. He has said so, often enough. That’s not “nowhere”!! Now we must attempt to interpret this Delphic utterance. Why the Cross? Does he have a mighty Cross to bear, before the people recognise him as their King?
Why 3am? (This has been tossed around before on LP). I have another suggestion. He may be one of those NERDS who thinks that when they say that Daylight Savings [Qld readers stop right here: these are Matters and Delights which it is not your Destiny to Enjoy] is to finish at 3am (old time) and we should put our clocks back 1 hour, he actually thinks he needs to SET HIS ALARM for 2.55am, so he can get up and change ALL the clocks back, precisely at 3am (old time) including the video clock and the oven clock. Then he sits there puzzling for a while? What cdid they print in the TV Guide? What’s on TV now? Something that started at 3am (old time) but now it’s 2.07am (new time), so are they showing the program that started at 2am (old time)? No, that would have begun at 1am (new time), except it wasn’t new time yet, when that show started. So if…..
The conundrums and paradoxes of time travel beset and bewilder him. He stumbles out into the dark to find a gutter and a few homeless alcoholics, who have a simpler worldview.
Caroline got it right. Here’s Brendan today: “I can assure you I’m going nowhere” (unfortunate choice of words)
Aw man!
The vids been pulled…
Anyone got another linky-poos?
