Day 37, and the pond celebrates the role of the reptiles and the leader of the opposition in the sorry submarines saga ...

M'lud, if it please the court, might the pond move on from discussions of immorality and illegality and bipartisan shame, and Richard Marles, and the Mutton Dutton's determination to pretend that nothing has changed, and immorality and illegality might continue unimpeded, and turn its attention to another important matter of national security?

The news broke yesterday in the lizard Oz ... and naturally the first port of call was the leader of the opposition for his opinion ...

The reporting then shifted to other matters, and again careful attention was paid to the deeds and doings of the leader of the opposition ...

And then today, the views of the leader of the opposition were fully considered ...

The leader of the opposition was also given a spot on the front page of the tree killer edition, free at an airport near you ...

Now it fell to the bouffant one, young Dennis, to cover the leader of the opposition's thoughts and feelings ...

Yes, it's all thanks to the Abbott government, said the leader of the opposition, conveniently ignoring the way the Abbott government led the Japanese government down the garden path, so that the Japanese government could get its arse kicked and suffer an extreme loss of face, which won't be forgotten anytime soon in Japan (oh yes, the pond has personal experience of the long memories of shamed Japanese leaders).

So what did the leader of the opposition tell the bouffant one about that matter?

He wrote a personal letter and that's fixed things!

Inter alia, in the same story, the reptiles included an interactive which pointed out the political implications of the decision, the most expensive attempt to save South Australian political jobs - especially the yapping poodle's - as has been seen in recent times.

Criticised by some colleagues for speaking out publicly ...

What, now they want to silence the leader of the opposition?

Oh okay, the pond should just pause to admire the reptile interactive ...

Cute or what? And it helps explain why the Bolter was inconsolable and in yet another petulant, foot-stomping rage ...

Meanwhile, the bromancer, who has treasured the subs saga, also decided to chip in ...

Yes, there in the middle of the piece is a mention of the way that the Japanese were comprehensively fucked over by the leader of the opposition's monumental stupidity and blundering ways ...

Now to understand the process, we must look deeply into the bromancer's thinking.

This will require some forensic digging and is guaranteed to be tedious - to go o'er is as tedious as to return - but it must be done because the bromancer has always been a megaphone for the leader of the opposition, at least until he sometimes swears off the kool aid and has an unexpected moment of clairty..

First the eureka kool aid moment ...

Any glutton for punishment can google the rest of that ancient artefact because the pond would like to move on to another item ...

You see, you see? There's more for those who want to google, but it's easy to catch the drift.

Now what to make of this?

Oh the irony, the prediction that the leader of the opposition's strategy might unravel ...

There's more for those gluttons for punishment inclined to google, but the drift is clear enough ...

You see m'lud, the pond just wanted the chance m'lud, to note how it was the leader of the opposition and his muddle headed wombat reptile supporters who comprehensively made a hash of the entire sorry subs saga ...

And yet still this same muddle-headed leader of the opposition is still the reptiles' first port of call for comment and insight ...

How fucked in the head is that?

Well, in the interests of completeness, the pond now offers the editorial reptile reflecting on the sorry subs saga ...

Yes, there it is, right at the bottom.

It was the leader of the opposition that started off the whole sorry saga, and lured the Japanese into the dry gulching, such that their sub had to scuttle out of Sydney harbour, a boat rejected and deeply in the grip of shame ...

It made that previous reptile Oz editorial sound remarkably silly ...

Respect must be shown?

Well respect could maybe be shown to the leader of the opposition and the muppets and muffins who infest the lizard Oz ... if respecting totally inept doofuses who monumentally fucked up the sorry submarines saga is how you care to exercise your respect.

What's the pond left with after this sorry subs saga?

Well at least there are a few good cartoons, and you can find more Pope here - trust the Papist to stir the pond's heart by mentioning the NBN - and more Rowe here, and the pond threw in a Twitter meme for the heck of it ... because the pond just loves its sous marin baguettes ...

Vive la France ... and sorry sushi eaters - oh how the pond loves its sushi - that's what happens when you're beguiled into bed by a wall-punching, onion-munching leader of the opposition and his mindless reptile minions ...
