Hey Kae, all those things, you just described Rudd to a T.
Plus [as Mick calls him, "dear Leader in exile",] still really thinks he is the PM and Julia is just running the show in Australia as his second-in-command.
Saw a photo of him the other day walking along in his gum boots.
Maybe Kev should see Doc Mc
[Something went wrong there] so will start again.
Kae did you watch Insiders today, read that Tony Abbott said it was the only way to bring in a Carbon Tax [Jimbo on Tim's blog]. Did he?
Merilyn, you can catch up with Insiders at
www.abc.net.au/insiders
There should be transcripts there by Monday afternoon so you can look at each segment and search for Abbott - then go back and listen to what he's said.
Knowing Bimbo of Canberra he's probably hallucinated what he heard - or made it up, such is the way of ALP stooges like him.
Crikey, Merilyn!
Some of the transcripts are already there... someone's on the ball.
Click on the segments to see the transcripts.
They may not all be there yet, though.
No, only one transcript so far.
OOps
Premature adulation.
Thanks Kae will do, have caught Jimbo out once before, when DT on Piers blog watched an interview and gave the full story [it was about Brown and the deals being made re the new leader, and Brown admitted that Tony Abbott and he never talked about a Carbon Tax, the way Jimbo put it you were under the impression they did].
Today's Insider's was a joy to behold.
AB sat in the middle surrounded by the usual suspects. Only difference today was that they were all agreeing with Bolt — even the presenter could not not dredge up any ammunition to defend recent performances of the Foreign Minister, the Treasurer and the three PMs (Gillard, Rudd and Brown).
Hi Skeeter
I'll have to listen to it properly at lunchtime tomorrow (I don't have a very fast connection so it's impossible at home to watch video).
And my TV seems to have gone off ABC as far as tuning, but the little TV in the family room still gets ABC channels, so I don't know what the story is there.
Will need to get a tuner in I think, and find the aerial connections which are new instead of using the old ones I've had for years... apparently that can make a difference to piture reception.
Sounds like our chief executive!
Hi Kae,
It will be worth going to some trouble to watch it.
Comments on it are running to 12 pages on AB's blog. The trolls are seething with indignation — a lot of it targeting their beloved ABC for letting the side down.
Another surprise this morning was Laurie Oakes on Ch 9 carving up Greg Combet into small slices.
On your TV reception problems: Over the years I spent a lot of money on professionally-installed new antennae and signal amplifiers, but still had trouble receiving the ABC channels.
It turned out it was all caused by 24-yr-old lead-in wiring inside the house. That became apparent when I found that I could get perfect reception from some $6 rabbit-ears sitting on top of the set!
Hi Skeeter
I don't know what it is. I thought it was the aerial, but I cat watch every channel on the cheap set I bought from Aldi ages ago. The Panasonic TV and the Panasonic DVD/HDD thingy don't like ABC's channels at all, and I can only get the analogue reception (and it's not good) of ABC and 7. The HD/Digital reception of 7 is awful, too. Drives me nuts when there's something I really want to watch.
I haven't been able to get SBS for ages and have learned to live without the things that they show which appeal to me (usually archaeologically or similarly themed documentary programs), but they are few and far between so, no loss.
The cheap TV from Aldi seems to be OK on all channels and the aerial cable is an old one.
ORPO
Seems to be a common trait amongst those chosen to lead the parties of compassion and caring.
What - poor TV reception? :)
(Nothing to offer on that nasty little galoot from Griffith - that's not dripping with sarcasm and basted with malice. I'd love to bump the plick in the street and have a barely audible word in its ear.)
I think this song just about raps him up.
