Drawing on Alexander Downer’s penchant for namedropping international figures of note, Mikey makes a bet.
…what’s the bet Downer starts name dropping himself?
And less than 24 hours later Mikey wins.
Late last week I spoke to 300 students in Adelaide about political leadership.

Hopefully he spoke about months in the leadership of the federal Liberal Party, the shortest tenure ever in the job.

Do I win three minutes with plummy and a baseball bat?
I think I’d only need 10 seconds.

It would be like Walter and the car in The Big Lebowski.

“But remember, if it hadn’t been for the American Civil War Lincoln would probably have been a footnote in history”
Well, duh, Alexander.

Hah! Well done, Mikey.
Of course, the even funnier bit is that Lexy was speaking about “political leadership”! There would have been some name-dropping in that speech, because he certainly couldn’t have been talking about himself.

“That’s what happens when you fuck a stranger in teh ass”.
You know that’s eerily precient.

Downer’s blog doesn’t seem to like comments, either. :(

On a related note tonight I saw Keating!
Fucking hell. Downer cops it right in the eye. Awesome stuff.

“Keating! The Musical”? It’s excellent. I’ve seen it *cough* 3 times now.
I love Lexi’s arse.
