   He does realise that all the shit stirrers from TSSH can’t vote for him right? Or is he considering a senate bid?

   Stuart and Lachlan would be a frightening duo in Senate estimates….

   How come he gets ‘most famous’ tag??? (I’ve never heard of him before)

   Anyway he seems like a bit of a tosser (just like me ;) but I DO like his persiflage thing :)

   Voted no.

   Because of the hyphen.

   Actually it was a bit of a head fuck to read his stuff (he sounds so much like me!!!) and then discover in a Google search how nasty RiotACT were to him.

   I think maybe the fact that Samuel is significantly unattractive, which does no one any favours when they wish to buck the consensus, at least partly explains his treatment.

   Nevertheless, I am happy with my own invisibility on the blogosphere. People have to discover me for themselves, off their own bat, and then they do there are no comments to tell them how to take me.

   :D

   I wrote a profile on Samuel some time ago.

   Man that is spooky (great piece btw!). The guy is my complete parallel.

   I stuttered in school (though not anymore) and I was an avid JJJ and Radio National listener (whereas Sam listened to 2CC) who were considered (and still are) my ‘de-facto’ friends. I think his dog is like the first girlfriend I actually loved, and his IT like my engineering.

   In general, it seems we both have an observational clarity concerning the ‘real world’ borne of being perennial outsiders (but were nevertheless cared for and safe). Saying that, I’m not sure whether we could become friends… though I would like to meet him.

   Unfortunately i’m a few suburbs outside of his electorate, otherwise he’s got my vote for sure!

   From the profile you did on him…

   “That being said, I don’t like Beazley, I think he is a windbag and a fool, I would much rather see Kevin Rudd as leader as I think he has some leadership potential… although he needs to work on his interview technique as he is a bit repetitive and long-winded and therefore self-defeating through sheer boredom when left to babble.”

   SGS called it years ago.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish regards Sambo throwing in the towel. That pretentious little prick stands for no-one but himself, and he is dismissive of anyone else with achievements that eclipse him as a “prominent blogger”. That jumped-up kid ought to learn some manners and get some life experience before he could presume to represent others in a public forum. I used to think Sam was a freaky out there type of individual, but now I know he is just a nasty sycophant parroting the shallow whims of talkback shock jocks. He can whine all he likes about people picking on him, but in reality he reaps what he sows, and he is quick to call any dissenters “idiots”. Samuel … I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time, but now you have pushed me over the edge - stick your head up a turkey, you goose!

    Have you heard the Sam’s latest Editorial Echoes Lenny?

    Move over John Laws. Samuel even uses the term “scumbags” numerous times. Agreed when it comes to is editorial opinion he is a “nasty sycophant parroting the shallow whims of talkback shock jocks.”

    A very apt name is Editorial Echoes.

    “…stick your head up a turkey, you goose!”

    You would get on very well with a guy calling himself Ismail Lenny.

    And what the hell is with “I nearly twisted my ankle”?

    You either did or you didn’t. Christ on a f%$#ing bike. I’ve had enough of this and I won’t be back!

    Okay I’m back. I know I was only gone a few minutes and I didn’t write or call but I was too upset.

    Yes, a racist, nasty and weird little nobody. Samuel needs to garnish his head with a heavy object. Now you must excuse me, I’m off to burns a cross outside Kingsleys ….

    An object similar to an 825gm Black and Gold Pineapple Pieces can perhaps?

    Be careful going to Kinsleys Lenny, there is a rather large man on the lose.
