Only problem is: they look like half-arsed, but dementedly over-confident recent law graduates - asking repetitive questions without a shred of 'gotcha' evidence to spring a trap with. Then asking the same question again, when they get an answer they dont like. A judge would have booted them for wasting the court's time if this process was a legal one.

These guys (and Julie Bishop) are just so demented people turn off the moment they see them. Ut may have taken years for Howard and his mates to register on the National Bull-Shit Detector but now that they have they be there for centuries, (hopefully). Indeed, Terry.

They get a few in, but most of them go into the net. And they can't seem to just play a point and have a rally. They look like a group suffering collective Attention Deficit Disorder. I used to think this was the chaotic consequence of having Nelson at the helm, but it appears endemic. Turnbull has, if anything, made it worse.

But it will probably be far less revealing than the similar doco on the ALP broadscast not long after Howard got in. That was quite enjoyable. The difference this time is (and this is only half in jest) the Libs still think the electorate got it wrong. Wintness the Smirk's prediction today of the drestruction of all state Labor Governments as part of a world wide phenomenon which we apparently started.

But having read your post, it all makes sense. After all, the OO's chief entrail-reader Dennis Shanahan is Catholic (judging by his wife's adherence to Vatican policy in her own barely readable column) so the whole Opus Dei/Exclusive Bretheren/Australia Club conspiracy draws together... The Sunrise "Team" might have a chance if Smirk declines to pursue the top job (again). Hockey might get the gig eventually, but he'll have to toughen up considerably to convince whatever base the Liberals still have that he can do the job. He does have the baggage of having once pulled Rudd out of a New Guinea highland stream; that will take a lot of forgiving. Would the Fibs punt on Julie Bishop? She's shown fantastic form at stealing ideas... And I'm sure she could forge new ties with the US Repugs under Palin.

Half of the gigantic intellects interviewed on behalf of the greatest political party ever known will no doubt express their undying love for Dear Leader, the remaining will damn him with faint praise. Yawn! I imagine that you are all looking forward to The Howard Years, without doubt the televisual highlight of the year.
