Liberty Quotes
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Meta
Wonderful profile view of that enormous beak of lardarse’s in the video still.
She gives honest frauds a bad name.
For a PM who’s most deceptive and made many stuff-ups, she has amazing support from the Party, a lot of the media and unions. She can do no wrong, apparently.
“she has amazing support….. (from the AWU)”.
The AWU are nervous that “quiet Bill” Shorten isn’t ready for question time.
Well may they be…. correct instinct.
When you know are on the Titanic you may as well enjoy the buffet.
HB..The Titanic doesn’t cut it. These dolts have hit every ice berg in the pack multiple times..Maybe they think the damage will buff out..
The Queen is known as HRH; Her Royal Highness
Next week Gillard will be known as RHR; the Rooty Hill Ranga
“she has amazing support from the Party, a lot of the media and unions”
It is a tribal thing, and it is killing the country.
Loyalty and teamwork are all very well, but what about the objectives, apart from holding onto power?
No adult person should be rusted onto any particular party, or football team, apart from Parramatta and the Mighty Demons.

Better than that, theyve backed up and tried going through the ‘berg even faster…
Wow, Rafe. The Eels and the Demons; you have been suffering.
I must be getting soft. That was very harsh.
But fair.
She has made a mess of it.
The break out in contempt is something to behold. It has definitely ratcheted since the announcement of an election date.
It would seem more and more people feel they can now pile on and they’re telling anyone who will listen. And with each new gimmick they fuel what is becoming one hell of a grassroots movement.
Well played McSporran. You may just have killed the ALP.
Lizzie – I thought it was honestly one of the more forgiving appraisals I’ve heard of her performance, not counting those like “Mad Margo” Kingston…
Thanks eb, fortunately I have managed to avoid following the Waratahs.
Juliar Gillard is as good as her word – and HER word is NO BLOODY GOOD!
Pretty second rate. These things need something witty about them to go viral, something the swing voter would laugh at. This won’t because it preaches to the converted.
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere at the Cat, but I thought it was funny:
http://www.news.com.au/technology/prime-minister-julia-gillards-rooty-hill-plan-criticised-by-social-media-users-on-twitter/story-e6frfro0-1226586342842
Apparently the reaction on social media hasn’t been positive to the PM’s impending visit to Sydney’s West.
Hadn’t seen that before, tbh so thanks for posting it.
If it looks like a stunt, smells like a stunt, then it is a stunt.
Yep!
giilard goes to Rooty Hill. Hilarity ensues.

Abbott: “Mee-meep.”
Can you imagine her first thoughts on waking up in the morning. “what could go wrong today?”
Translation.
What am I going to fuck up today?
Has there every been a more disaster prone PM in Australia’s history or frankly even in the civilised world? She makes Berlusconi look competent.
And of Rooty Hill, she may just find her thrill!
Isn’t that video a bit lame? Bad jokes, bad singing, bad production?
Yes James isn’t it though? A perfect match for the current Occupant of the Office of Prime Minister, don’tcha think?
Maybe if Quadrant hadn’t had its Government funding cut they could have afforded a decent covers singer?
Novotel at Rooty:
Some high octane adventure coming up, Jules.
oops, wrong fred.
Wonder if the lyingbbitch will do a shopping centre photo op there .the old lady pensioners struggling with power bills might rip her arms and legs off!
hopefully!
