And.....away we go

Asylum seekers blah blah blah John Elliot fires a salvo.

Carpe Jugulum said...

Wow, Adler really is a tool.

kae said...

Aw, c'mon. You gotta admit it takes real talent to talk through your arse whilst sitting on it.

Carpe Jugulum said...

True, but the voice comes out so clear, you'd never guess.

kae said...

So they're not lifting a surruptitious cheek occasionally are they?

Bumtriloquists!

Carpe Jugulum said...

LOL

Carpe Jugulum said...

Emerson is a bit on the slimy side

kae said...

Minister for slippery business?

Carpe Jugulum said...

Discussion on the Libs, some interesting comments coming out.

Carpe Jugulum said...

How do you tell the difference between Emerson and a catfish????

One is a scum eating bottom feeder and the other is a fish. :)

Carpe Jugulum said...

More talk about Turnbull....blah blah blah. God Adler is an annoying twat.

Carpe Jugulum said...

They are wandering off track now.

Now Dutton gets a go.

Carpe Jugulum said...

Ihave no idea what Annabel is talking about

Carpe Jugulum said...

What is this....Turnbul night??????

Carpe Jugulum said...

Krudd on Rolling Stone....oh god now i'm queasy.

"John Denver memorial edition" quote of the night.

Can someone stuff a pineapple in Adlers gob, and, slap that sock puppet in the audience.

kae said...

lol

Carpe Jugulum said...

Emerson gets cornered over the supermarket duopoly Vs Telstra breakup legislation, waffling fool.

Carpe Jugulum said...

So, who to invite for dinner;

Annabel - Yes
John Elliot - Despite my better jugement yes
Emerson - Not in this lifetime
Dutton - Doubtful, seems a bit sooky
Adler - Set up the bear traps and break out the razor wire.

Ja-heesis H Kriest, I had no idea Louise Adler was such a heated zealot motormouth.

She doesn't discuss or debate, just blurts out her own brand of rot, & blurts it out like a German made machine-gun.

Mine Host said...

Craig Emerson is not the same Craig Emerson who was appearing on Lateline in the months after the election.

This one is under pressure, and none too happy about it.

Mine Host said...

oooh ohhhh ohhh, Craig Emerson a tad sensitive at John Elliot's statement that Labor politicians are sourced from union bludgers.

kae said...

Thanks, Carpe.

Hey, SATP... Adler is batshit crazy.

Did someone just say something about Annabel Crabbe being pregnant? Whoosh go a few fantasies I'd imagine.

(And hasn't anyone told him who mentioned her pregnancy that you NEVER mention that until the baby is popping out, oh, unless she's told you she's got a bellyful.)

This is such a great show.

It's all about the Libs. What would the Libs do about the "refugees"; what did Howard do abou the "refugees"; what they did about the "refugees" was awful, horrible, inhumane; but the refugees are desperate (they fly half way around the world, while others who I'd imagine are more desperate, are langishing in refugee camps in countries adjacent to their country of origin.... why can't Australia organise some aid for them? Why are we spending $8M so far to get Indonesia to stop illegals from leaving?

Well, I know the solution is for Kevin to just "Toughen up, Princess".

kae said...

Well, he's right. Unions or the ABfrickin'C.

Either way their life experiences are pretty much biff and fairy dust, not like the rest of us!

kae said...

Groan.

To win the unwinnable seat, rendition by Mr Slippery Business...

Don't give up your day job, mate.

Oh. Wait!

Mine Host said...

omg, you are right Kae, & it just goes on & on. This episode theme is "whack-a-Liberal"

Craig Emerson is feeling better already.

Oh yea Carpe, isn't Peter Dutton coming accross as a sook.

kae said...

Euuuuuuw!

Kevin Rudd on Rolling Stone.

Bloody hell. He's faster and faster looking like Keith Richard (sorta a reverse Picture of Dorian Gray), and besides, Keith Richard died years ago, he just never lay down.

kae said...

In the end they've gotta do something...

Lou Adler? "I'm not here to defend Kevin Rudd."

Why not? She's defended photographers who take sexualising photos of prepubescent children.

Rudd's a shoe-in for her defence.

No wonder there's so many shitty books being published in Australia.

kae said...

Excellent comment from young audience member.

"Why do politicians seem to concentrate on trying to be 'cool' with the younger people, instead of doing things that they are supposed to do?"

I'll find it when the transcript is up (if it gets up, they tend to lose a lot in "intelligible"...).

Mine Host said...

WTF? Zoning laws are somehow preventing the federal govt from passing an anti-monopoly law?

Has Craig Emerson been sharing Louise Adler's stash?

kae said...

OMG

Catherine Deveny next week....

Minicapt said...

Catherine Deveny and a Sex Expert ...

Cheers
