Oh no, I agree with Tory Maguire, key member of The Punch's eternally dumb front bar (public bar if you will) Australian ocker conversation.
You can call Kevin Rudd many things, but serial killer? she asks as she smacks down bimbo CNBC anchor Erin Burnett.
She's picked up a piece about biznews burbler Burnett getting excited about camel culling in Australia, here under the header Rudd called a 'serial killer' on US TV.
It brings back fond memories of the time I took a gaggle of Germans off to an arthouse restaurant in Adelaide specializing in Australian cuisine (and Australian content).
I ordered some Skippy. Uh oh, forget that business deal. But hey kangaroo is very tasty to eat, and if we'd only settled down to a black life style, we'd not only have been eating healthier meat, we'd have avoided all kinds of damage from sheep too dumb to realize they belonged back in the mother country.
Of course you can offer up anything to Japanese folk, and they'd eat it with gusto. Which is how we can share a taste for lovingly basted eel.
But back to Burnett and her rant about camels being taken out by air strikes in the outback.
Well I guess it's not up to US standards - they usually use their air strikes to take out wedding guests at wedding parties, though in a pinch I guess they'd settle for mourners attending a funeral for victims of a previous air strike.
I guess the concept of feral animals is a little beyond a country besotted with the idea of Australia as a land of Crocodile Dundees and Steve Irwins and not much else. We're usually pathetically grateful to be noticed on network television at any time for any reason, and come to think of it Burnett's just offering us more of the same.
Camelcide, shrieked her sidekick Jim Cramer, the loon responsible for ringing bells, acting like a clown and saying Bearn Sterns wasn't in trouble, before recommending people not move their money from a bear about to tank in a way that would make the world a disgruntled bear.
Cramer is one of our favorites in the gigantic loon pond known as the United States of Loons, and he's built up quite a file at Wikipedia, here.
Perhaps his best moment came in the rumble in the jungle, the smack down with Jon Stewart, when he was brought to task for his many misdeeds. Here's a taster, but you can get the complete interview by heading off to the Comedy Channel site.
Meantime, kill all those camels, killer Kev. Break Erin Burnett's heart. Get her yowling and howling about how no one thinks of the camels. Perhaps she'll head off to Maxim's for another pose down protest.
