Exactly FDB – only in the shadow of Australia’s greatest Pratt could Pyne exist.

LE – they’ve clearly been desensitised. I call it the “well, he’s not as smarmy as Dolly” effect.

George Brandis?

But then no one really votes for individuals on the major parties’ Senate tickets.

The smarmy pratt tolerance threshold is clearly higher in South Australia than the parts of AU Im familiar with.

Seriously – Pyne could not have become an elected rep of the people in, say, QLD. No way.

Laura, I might set up a watch on his press releases and statements, even if it does make my RSS reader feel dirty! I can’t understand why Chrissie Pyne has ever been regarded as being a “talent”, unless being smarmy is a talent.

Hehe, Talcum doesn’t seem be aware the Roosters aren’t AFL.

Connecting with the people! And the plagiarism, compounded by basic economic data cluelessness deal – wtf??

This is actually a shocker of a start from the opp!

It was unforgettable night at the dance party I went to in the Valley too Mark~! (Love&Justice, The Roxy, 2/12/89). I’ll have to check the relevant statute of limitations before making any further reveries – but suffice to say we all saw the first daylight over Brisbane from the Hill – and first ALP state govt of our 21 yo lifetimes. Great times!

I did have in mind the general ‘arseclown’ theme, actually. I don’t know whether he’s said anything yet or not. Probably he hasn’t. I imagine he’s waiting for a suitably, erm, ‘quotable’ editorial to be published in an American newspaper, to give him some ‘ideas’ for his first parliamentary remarks on the subject.

Yep, if GU wants to take credit for the boring, technocratic “everyone take a cold shower” vibe we got from Gossy as of 3 December 1989 – well, let them!
