The master knob polisher struts his stuff ...

(Above: a tweet forward to the pond by some deviant, featuring the thoughts of some deviant. No doubt he has at some point had something to do with the ABC)

Vital, important, compelling, incisive insights from the master knob polisher himself.

Come on down Bolter, show the world how it's done:

A healthy media would also be horrified at their idiotic class war talk. 
Instead, many outlets have joined the Labor game. 
 After beating up the great cigar scandal, newspapers mocked Hockey’s wife, a successful banker, for wearing a moderately expensive dress when she went to Canberra for his Budget speech. 
 “Cutbacks? What cutbacks? Joe Hockey’s wife attends Budget announcement in $749 Carla Zampatti dress,” sneered the Australian edition of the Daily Mail, as if her dress showed Liberals were heartless. Channel Nine’s Laurie Oakes, doyen of the Canberra press gallery, even started his post-Budget interview with the Treasurer with three questions attacking him for dancing with his wife in his office on Budget night. 
 “The unemployed, the sick, the welfare recipients hit by the Budget, they’re not going to be dancing are they?” lectured Oakes, as if he’d caught Hockey dancing on a carpet of starving pensioners, when he’d in fact been celebrating seeing his family after three weeks away working on a Budget to save us. Meanwhile, the ABC portrayed the Budget as the cruel work in part of a foreigner unable to understand Australian values. 
Interviewer Matt Abraham asked Belgian-born Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, who’s been here for 20 years, whether “you don’t know as much about the Australian mindset and culture as perhaps other politicians who have either been born here or been here a lot longer”. 
This stuff isn’t just infantile but dangerous. 
What unpredictable hatreds are being stoked? 
More importantly, how does this savage rhetoric help us to fix what’s broken? 
The country is running dangerously short of money, and claiming this is just a con by the rich to torture the poor is a lie that could ruin us. 
Shame on the guilty.

Oh indeed. Shame on them. It's shocking, shameful stuff.

Anyone who's used the notion of class warfare for cheap political point-score, braying like donkeys, should be strung up from the nearest lamp post, as any decent Miranda the Devine would do to a nearby greenie.

What's that you say?

Say what?

A healthy media would also be horrified at their idiotic class war talk. 

But wait, there's more. The pond never likes anyone to go home without a decent set of steak knives.

Shorten, Milne and Palmer together could block Abbott’s rescue plan in the Senate for the next three years, and a healthy media would kick these craven populists for denying there’s even a problem to fix.

Craven populists?

And so on and so forth.

Far worse than anything in the Budget is the class war that reckless politicians and journalists are waging against it. 
Labor leader Bill Shorten, Greens leader Christine Milne and so-called billionaire Clive Palmer have disgraced themselves in inciting real hatred. 
A warning. On Friday, screaming Leftist students in Sydney physically attacked Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, pushing and grabbing her. 
Unless the hate-speech is dialled back, god knows what more we’ll get. 
Even before the Budget, the demonisation of Prime Minister Tony Abbott was out of control. 
Labor under Julia Gillard had already smeared Abbott as a woman-hating bigot and incited a mini race-riot against him on Australia Day. 

Oh indeed, it's shocking and shameful stuff.

Say what?

Say what?

Have we ever seen such stupid appeals to class envy? 

Well the pond can do more than commend the incisive, insightful Bolter, master of the knob polishing game ...

You can read rest of Media dances to dangerous tunes over the Budget ... and the pond can guarantee a class A hoedown, four choc top movie experience ...

It's a complete hoot, and the measure that at last it's dawned on the dim witted Bolter that Abbott and jolly Joe Hockey are in dire trouble is the ferocity - and the stupidity - of the counter attack the Bolter has launched.

But can the Bolter save his master? Will Pancho be able to help Don Quixote?

It's just so unfair ... the masters of hate getting a dose of teh hate...

Oh it's such a sweet irony, and such sweet comedy, all the more because it relies on such a complete forgetting that you'd swear the MIB gang had just got out the old zapper  ...

So here's an old Pope classic to wrap it up:

Lordy lordy, how everything changes so that it can stay the same ...
