Fancy Cory turning up again like a bad penny ...

There's something about that cartoon that made it the right introduction to Cory blathering on about "a party full of the wrong people …"

It's been so long since he turned up at the pond or the lizard Oz like a bad penny, and yet here he is, a cawing crow at the side of the road sensing a chance to feast on the road-kill ...

By extension in Cory la la land, the country is full of the wrong people, the planet is full of the wrong people, and possibly, in due course, if Republican candidates who've encountered aliens are to be believed, the universe is full of the wrong people …except, of course, Cory, who seems to think he is the 'right people' to fly the plane ...

Happily while Cory is his usual rabid self, he's reasonably short about it …

There you go … as usual Cory shoots and he scores … with talk of Turnbull's self-absorption …

Now speaking of self-absorption, where did the pond file those snaps of Cory?

 

Lordy, long absent lordy, narcissism never gets old, but speaking of narcissists, with all the fuss in the United States that went down this morning dinkum time, surely the pond can sneak a little taster?

Ah, that's better, and so back to a man who left the party throughwhich he got elected, without resigning from parliament, and happy to stay on in the senate hauling down a salary thereby obtained by false pretences.

Oh how simplistic Simon and gorgeous George howled back in the day …

Coalition ministers have turned on Senator Bernardi, describing his actions as "a betrayal", with some calling on him to resign from politics. 
Education Minster Simon Birmingham said the defection was "a dog act" and thousands of South Australians may be rethinking their vote. 
The ABC understands Mr Turnbull told the partyroom he asked Senator Bernardi why he was leaving so soon after the election, describing his response as "not satisfactory". 
Attorney-General George Brandis said Senator Bernardi had not acted like a conservative and had broken a promise to his electorate by leaving the party. 
"Breaking faith with the electorate, breaking faith with the people who voted for you, breaking faith with the people who have supported you through thick and thin for years, is not a conservative thing to do," he said.

Of course a time of crisis is just the right time for pompous fleas to get out and about, and talk up themselves with a righteousness and zeal that only a short and long term memory loss about dog acts might allow ...

Actually luddite Cory is the real gift for comrade Bill. 

The silly old bigot and homophobe routinely manages to make the comrade sound like a centrist and a moderate, and for a man to talk about the Liberal party squandering a five-year golden opportunity, having cynically abandoned it because it wasn't fundamentalist enough for him in terms of bigotry and climate science denialism is too rich for the pond …

Talk of personalities and prima donnas was just icing on the Cory narcissist cake ...

As for the Australian people having lost faith in politics and politicians?

Does that include the ones that voted for a Liberal senator and found themselves dudded with a ratbag right wing renegade, too self-absorbed and righteous to work with others in the party?

Oh it's all too rich this day, and so the pond must just sample a little of the lunacy elsewhere ...
