In which the pond anoints the dog botherer and Dean Smith ...

Forget it crow eaters, the lizards of Oz don't care. 

It seems every day now until the federal election the reptiles are going to be running EXCLUSIVES featuring either unions or loons of the Dean Smith kind …

 

Shocking … though no doubt the reptiles will also make room for some climate science denialism and other nonsense …

You see, it got even sillier yesterday …

Who cares if he said it? Every day of Malware's reign the lizards of Oz, the onion muncher and assorted pundits gathered in the reptile rags, tabloid and broadsheet, to explain Malware had to go …

Remember the dog botherer?

And so on and on, and so to the comedy item of the day, again kindly provided by the dog botherer …

Well the pond would hardly expect the dog botherer to recall the Warringah motion, but what about this header?

Anointment? Perhaps with a laying on of hands? A smearing of a holy oil? A lathering of an unguent with a heady spicy smell?

Being a devout ex-Catholic, the pond wondered if anointment was the wisest choice of words … especially to describe the act of a speaking in tongues man …

Couldn't the reptiles come up with something less Catholic Boys' Daily? 

 But the reptiles are feeling the heat, and the dog botherer was in a rage, at the boot sinking and the senseless mocking, and the hurt and the cruelty and oh, the pain, the pain of it all in an uncaring universe, where everyone should have realised that the onion muncher was still the man ...

Um, actually, in this, it's less a matter of Mundine - let him screw over Redfern how he likes - than the sublime hypocrisy of all those who only a few short months ago were nattering about democracy and the Warringah motion and the need to champion the rights of members of the Liberal party.

Where are these proud warriors now? Where do they stand? Are they still solidly against the notion of Captain's Picks or Anointments or Dispensations from on High? Do they fight for the membership and local empowerment against the fiendish, wily forces, emanating absolute authority and papal infallibility from Canberra?

So much for the onion muncher, so much for the Warringah motion, so much for thieves of different stripes consorting together …

Captain's picks it is, the rights of the monarch must be preserved, the papacy must be able to make its anointments …

Such high comedy, and thus it came about that the heretic had to be exposed and reviled …

All this in a landscape where the pond must ask: has madness completely overtaken the world? 

Petulant Peta refusing to run, preferring her job at Sky, and once again the onion muncher under attack, despite his coherent and consistent set of principles and policies, and devotion to the Warringah motion and his love of the ordinary Liberal …

Oh sainted aunt, not the onion muncher, please spare the onion muncher, so that the Warringah motion will put an end to Captain's Picks and Anointments and the rule of King Henry "SloMo" the Eighth ...

And so to the remaining dog botherer gobbet …

Insider sneering and partisan pointscoring? 

Would that be the same as complete memory loss about the Warringah motion, accompanied by the labelling of the un-anointed one as a bully, while reassuring anybody who cared that Mundine wasn't one of 'them', and would toe the line when it came to Oz day, and possibly even dinkum clean Oz coal, oi, oi, oi …

Phew, that's a relief, because this day the lizard Oz featured a loon in full featherless flight … top of the page ma, top of the page …

It doesn't seem to have occurred to these loons that not so long ago, little Johnny and his mob were pushing to legislate to protect traditional marriage … and look where that got them …because you can take a vow to stay hitched until the end of time, and then there's divorce ...

A holy trinity? Icons? Now is the time?

The pond should have realised it was just a loon of the narcissist kind doing a little attention-seeking, aided and abetted by some rhetorical navel-gazing ...

Just another loon from the west … apparently it's full of them, though as the Donald might say, there are probably good people as well …

More at their ABC here, featuring a very small and vocal minority seeking to create division for political gain …

And so to a Rowe cartoon, and what joy that it's about the Donald, running a country that's more dysfunctional than the Liberal party … and that's saying something … with more Roweing of assorted boats available here …
