Day 68 of MUC and day 21 of MOC and the dog botherer and Polonius do battle over the Turnbull bone ...


There's nothing like starting the day with the sight of a right couple of royal Nemos, and the pond owes the pleasure to David Pope, with more papal pleasures available at his gallery here ...

Meanwhile, the reptiles are in full flight this day ...

The usual pandering hacks are out and about, doing their forelock-tugging business ...


Admirable really ... and lo, behold, the heavyweights, old Dame Slap and new Lenin medal hunting cockatoo Major Mitchell have both turned up on a Saturday, the Dame to slap down the filthy, vile greenies ... and the cocky ... well, the cocky seems to want to parrot Peta ...


So many choices and so little time, and naturally, being full of perversity, the pond hungered for its weekly history lesson from prattling Polonius ... this week doing his Greta "I want to be alone" Garbo impression ... or should that be his Mal "leave his lawn alone" Ware impression ...


Let it be, let it be, who knew Polonius was a secret Beatles lover, spinning the platters backwards for the hidden message ...


And that's how you overlook the central fact of Abbott's deep unpopularity infesting Malware like a dose of the bubonic plague ... 

But by golly, Polonius is in good form this day, re-living the Menzies dream and the onion-munching wall-puncher's success ... while mocking the Fairfaxians ...


And so, with a breath-taking astuteness, Polonius strikes from the record all the many criticisms Malware made of the Abbott government while he was leader in exile, waiting to implant his mercury in the ear of the onion-muncher's leadership ...

Hmmm, what could they have been about, those dog whistles?


But enough of Rowe fun - more Rowe here - because another of the pundits, the dog botherer himself, is also out and about this Saturday, and what a fine parade of hounds it makes ...



Yes, the dog botherer is in full coaching mode - the dog botherer refuses to let Malware be - and the sadly, the pond has absolutely no explanation for google deciding to drop that image alongside the story ... oh the perfidy of the logarithm ...


Yes, it's always startling to see the dog botherer staring out, with the look of a stunned mullet, but let's get on to the core beliefs and the core values ...

First, it seems, we must dismiss everything Malware purported to believe in, these being irrelevant to the electorate's dreams and desires ...

   

At the end of it all, the pond didn't have a clue what the dog botherer was jibber jabbering about.

Malware should boast of his ability to set up tax avoidance strategies in the Cayman Islands and people would flock to imitate him and that would help out the dire revenue situation?

Or he should promote his Godwin Grech capacity for competence?

Competence! Yes indeed the pond just knew those multi noodle cabinets would come in handy for something ...


Now there's competence. New spaces for urban art.

And please, there's no need to worry about other proposed reasons for the incompetence ...


The brightest minds in the nation are on the job, ferreting out the innumerate and the illeterate who somehow made it into the pit ...


By golly, thank the long absent lord there's just enough time for another Rowe cartoon, bless his invisible emperor clothing socks ...

  1. Hi Dorothy,

    "He succeeded quickly in journalism, law, business and banking."

    Do I sense a touch of envy from Kenny there? The Liberals are continually glorifying the rich and successful but I sense that the sheer ease with which Turnbull has risen to take the top job, does not make him universally popular with the more mundane political plodders in the party. Mr Harbour-side Mansion anyone?

    On Wall Street the enormous bonuses paid out to those at the very top leads to a similar envious streak amongst those lower down. They describe this as "the haves and the have yachts".

    However it's these plodders who are currently causing Turnbull so much grief. They have curtailed his freedom of movement on a vast raft of policies whilst expecting him to seem innovative and flexible. This probably sums it up best;

    1. "Do I sense a touch of envy from Kenny there?'

      Repetitive man with 45,000 readers and 12,000 viewers harnesses up daily to sling arrows at journalists who broadcast to numbers in excess of 800,000, often in excess of a million?

      Envy may, from time to time, play into the Kenny output, fair to surmise :)

  2. Abbott unpopular? Look, DP, I'm pretty sure there's several pages in a glossy weekender ready for the presses, on the "new, improved Abbott". How else will he get a gig in Turnbull's new Cabinet, ready to snap into Dep'y when JBishop slides off to a glamorous overseas posting mid-term? OTOH, if there is no such puffery in train, how will a bruised ego be able to sit out a full term of Turnbull or score his job after a Labor win?

  3. Newsflash! Tall white privileged male unable to spot racism.
    "That is a very negative view of Australia. I am a migrant to Australia and Australia is an amazing country built by a great diversity of people coming from all corners of the world," he said.
    Donald Trump would agree.
