Remember recent blogospheric debutant Alexander Downer’s serious namedropping problem? Well here are a few lines from his latest post.
Last week, while in Washington I spoke to Congressional staffers to help them with the new Congressional sanctions Bill. I instituted human rights training programs for mid-level officials.
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and I did our best…

From today’s Hansard, page 57, “The SPEAKER—The member for Mayo can go and have his cup of tea for an hour under 94(a). Off

I believe that’s politician talk for how we’d say “Fuck Off” here in the blogosphere.

Not only did he “institute human rights training programs for mid-level officials”, he also invented der innyweb too.

Actually “human rights” and “Alexander Downer” in the same sentence is bizarre.
