Oh, Andrew Bolt, you kidder you.
Stephen Mayne has been onto this story for a while, and for once he’s close to the truth. Given that I’m told he’s planning to write about this again, probably as soon as this morning, I want to say something here first before he does.
This is it for the blog, at least for now. I can’t pre-empt the announcement that my local member and friend, Peter Costello, is about to make, but it would clearly be a conflict of interest for me to continue to write about politics here if I’ve privately agreed to become a player.
That’s the lamest April Fool’s joke since another joke of a blogger pulled his lame April Fool’s joke last year. I’m onto you. Jeremy is onto you.
Giveaways:
1) The post was published at 12:03am.
2) As if you’d not “pre-empt the announcement that my local member and friend, Peter Costello, is about to make” by doing just that.
3) As if you’d get preselection over Michael Kroger, Julian Sheezal and Prodos.
Nice try, fool.

You lyk RUINED HIS JOKE you BASTARD.

Well, even his commenters (excepting the more desperate and stupid ones) have clicked as to the date.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 9:22 am #Jeremy
Oh, and I like the idea that “writing about politics” is now a “conflict of interest” for a politician.
What the hell ELSE do they write about?

Actually, the truth it is I that is running for my old seat again.

It would be more of a joke if he did decide to stand in Higgins. Go for it, Dutchy.

It’s one of those appalling ideas that you kind of wish the idiot in question would actually try.

Like Brendan Nelson leading the Liberal Party.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 10:36 am #Jeremy
I know! I’m still stoked they did that.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 10:42 am #Ant Rogenous
Christopher Pyne was my no.1 comedy option for leader. Nelson was a close second.

I was hoping for a repeat of “The Downer Months”.

Bolt must be creaming his pants with the unusually high number of comments he’s getting today.

God. Could he at least have gone for something witty? Because it’s not only possible, it’s entirely probable that someone at Liberal HQ will see that and think it’s a fantastic idea.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 11:37 am #Bron
Witty? Andrew Bolt and witty?
First, The Beatles are “shit and talentless”, now the implication that Andrew Bolt might be “witty”.
BAN HER!!!
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 11:57 am #keri
I didn’t say he MIGHT be witty! I specifically said he wasn’t!
Eeeew. Don’t put words like that in my mouth, Bron. They taste like rancid roadkill.

But…but…(here comes another tired lefty defence)…but I’m a lefty, I’m SUPPOSED to put words into people’s mouths and twist them all around.
I’ve been told that so many times on some right-wing blog, it must be true.

He is such a twat.

Understatement of the Year must surely go to Damian!
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 2:04 pm #Chade
I lol’d.
At the amount of comments taking it 4 realz.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 3:11 pm #keri
But thats below the belt, Bron.
All the Listerine in the world isn’t going to help me now.

I’d love to see what hilarious hijinks he’d get up to in Parliament.
Like maybe he’d try to pass a bill stating somehow revoking the apology for the Stolen Generations and another one that states that there must be ten examples of something before it exists.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 3:38 pm #The Editor
He he. Awesome, Pludian. The Just Ten Bill (2008).

This comment typifies the sycophantic cock sucking comments to Blogs cruel joke.
I want to say a huge thanks for all your hard work on the blog, Andrew. I really enjoyed reading it most days and will miss it. I’m not sure what everyone on here will do - I guess we’ll all shift over to Tim’s place? I think you should definitely leave us with some suggestions for what to read because you are leaving a big hole!
Best of luck for the future and remember you have a large community of people supporting you. I hope (entirely for selfish reasons) that one day, when circumstances allow, that you will not hesitate to blog again.
Cheers.
Andrew H
I bet Andrew H is one of those snivelling right-wing, attack-dog, arseholes who do all the dirty work for Bolt and Timmeh on their blogs and wanks himself over the prospect that these guys read his hateful comments and think “good work Andrew, good work”! If he wants a suggestion on what to read maybe he could give Mein Kampf a go - Bolt-loving arse licker.
Tuesday 1 April 2008, 4:09 pm #Bron
But Wah, how do you REALLY feel about that guy?!

Dear Andrew,
if by any chance you read this blog, please, please hold your breath waiting for an invite to the international comedy fest.
