I’m with Adrien, Barnaby Joyce is a brainless bogan. I thought he was fun when he had some power, but now he is just a nauseating advertisement for retrospective abortion. Nevertheless, he is what the democratic process has legitimately thrown up. He has a constituency. I wish him all the very best. But preferably as the Ambassador to Lord Howe Island than as Minister for Finance.

“Is he worse that then the other three bozos, Pedro?”

Maybe. It’s hard to say when you’re assessing such an array of dopes. Yes, at least barnaby can be funny.

Great work Jase. You managed to find Occam Razer’s derivative.

Your new scientifically established finding will now be referred to as Homer’s Razor, not to replace Occam but to enhance it.

Barnaby on Gillard's boyfriend was also funny.

I thought his comments on the various "art" works in Parliament House were hilarious.

Probably. But he is a Maxi-Dweeb who wears shoes on his tongue.

I try not to listen to Conroy. I usually succeed. See The Australian this morning? very kool Konroy kartoon on the kover.

CL – I’m not an unquestioning fan of Barnaby by any means but I do detest the urban-latte snobbery about him.
.
Actually despite our vast differences I quite like the guy. He stands up for himself and isn’t afraid of being unpopular. But I do wonder if he’s a fiscal authority.
