Will he, won’t he? Should he, shouldn’t he? Is it a Labor trick? If so, it could backfire on them. But it might not. Then again. If only we knew. He doesn’t know either. But he’s talked to Lord Nelson. And Horatio took his telescope with him – now there’s a clue.

A clue!! I haven’t got one.

But I might get one. It could be a trick. Oh for the good old days. They were good, weren’t they?

I’m with Ken.
I’d love to be able to read articles on Australian politics that were limited to facts only, or at least had a context longer than 5 minutes but shorter than 20 years.
I’d love to see journalist uncovering what our politicians really though, instead of projecting their own thoughts on to them.
Unfortunately all of this requires thinking an interacting, which is out of fashion apparently.

I tried reading Dennis’ piece, but I couldn’t finish it. Life’s too short to waste it on incoherent speculation.

Looks suspciously to me like the OzBoys spend too much time reading critical blogs like this one, and feel they have to personally answer back each morning. Wounded vanity perhaps?

In this case (Costello), its like watching a bunch of hyperactive little boys digging themselves a giant hole, shouting encouragement to each other as they get deeper and deeper and further and further away from the rest of us.

The only question is, how long will it be before the sides fall in (or Rupert comes to town and sacks Mitchell and his gang for being so comprehensively out of touch with the voting public).

Talk about being trapped inside your own narrative.

Why people read ‘The Australian’ is a great mystery, surpassed only by the mystery of why they write about it

Poor old Denden, still using, I see. Shame really, he could have had a damn fine career as a journo if he hadn’t got hooked on crack Costello.

Haha, I just read the piece.

Shorter Shamaham: No one has a clue what Costello will do. That includes me. And also Costello.

Well, f*ck, hold the front page!

They just cant stop getting it all wrong, can they?

Newsflash:
1. Costello hasnt got the balls, or the brains for the big chair. He’s Hamlet – can’t even decide to leave with dignity. Its pathetic.
2. No one currently on the Lib front bench has a hope of beating Rudd in 2010.
3. We only read you for laughs.

I often wonder what world Milne and Shamahan live in,its not the same one I do,given Shamahans prognostications before the last election and Milnes undying love for Costello I think they are both looking for jobs in his office.
Apart from that Shamahans column has no comments section I wonder why
