Another bleak day at the pond as the Speccie mob continue to disappoint.
No Giles, no Flinty, what's wrong with them? What are they thinking? A report on the Royals is no substitute for pure essence of Flinty ...
Instead the pond had to turn to another form of reliable entertainment, which has been cranking up to 11 of late, what with dandruffgate, the Fixer taking the Fifth, the Candyman taking a hit, the Donald ranting endlessly on the telephone about anything that comes to mind, assuming that mind is the right word, and so on and so endlessly forth …
… in which context the pond really has to call out James Merlino for being a sook and a spoilsport ...
What a doofus. As if Priebus was anything but a loser dropkick in the shallow end of the pool, dismissed by tweet…and how unkind to Paul Ryan and all the other GOPers who did their Ayn Rand best for the deficit disaster known as the Donald's tax plan.
So unkind and so thoughtless. Preibus's presence down under would be of enormous benefit to Labor, the pond, and the rest of Australia as the circus came down under.
It's true Priebus is one of the lesser clowns, but who knows, he might well love the Andrews government's plan to build an even larger eastern distributor so that even more cars might get dumped in the massive traffic jam known as Hoddle street, while making sure a train or other public transport isn't part of the solution …
It's true that the Victorian Libs might have selected a better class of used clown to come down under …
The Donald has gone through an abundance of dopes and useless fools, and hard questions have to be asked about why the Vics preferred Priebus when Sean Spicer, the Mooch, Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, Tom Price, Omarosa, Rob Porter, Hope Hicks, Gary Cohn or sexy Rexy might be available to help …
And that's just scratching the surface of the options, and there's more likely to join the list of the unemployed by the day.
As for this talk of far right politics, it's an outrageous misconstruing of the current GOP …
The pond urges Merlino to backtrack on this one quickly …how we yearn for a touch of the magic turning up down under …
And how sulky we get if the Donald picks the fluff of someone else ...
The Donald makes a flip-flop Captain's call? Who'd have thunk it?
The pond appreciates where the writers are coming from … they too want to be touched by a visit to the circus, they too want direct access to the Donald's mind, assuming that mind is the right word … and be favoured and blessed like others have been …
The pond can understand the bitter disappointment, the sense of loss, the realisation that the French have been blessed with a better class of dandruff treatment ...
How long has this circus run, and still there are people furiously scribbling about Trump and wanting him to act like a conventional politician rather than an out of control maverick inclined to twittering frenzies, flip flops, and revisions of indecisions, and a churn rate that even cable cutters couldn't match?
Oh okay, the pond will admit it, this was just the usual ploy of finding a couple of reptile stories and using them as an excuse to run a few cartoons.
The pond's secret furtive life, watching cable news and late night American TV shows send up the Donald must occasionally come to the surface, and these were just a convenient prop …
And so to a few more cartoons in closing …
