Good Old Downer!

It’s good that in the new touchy-feely Liberal environment, Alexander Downer still carries a torch for the good old days:

“What they need to do, which they have not very well so far, is develop a better narrative - both a negative narrative about the Rudd Labor Government and a positive narrative about the Liberal Party.”

Emphasis mine.

    “I have a very strong belief system. And I spent nearly 12 years as a senior cabinet minister, particularly with Howard and Costello implementing the things we all believed in.”

    I have a client in SA who is very “petite’ in his manner. Although a great guy, his spoken manliness was a little wanting. Lots of “oh bugger” and “oh blast it” but never any swearing. I had been talking to him for 6 months and never a crude word to pass his lips.

    During a conversation, I said something about Downer and the response was a deafening shrill of “THAT FUCKING PANZY!!! … HE’S OUR CUNT OF A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT”!!!

    “Now, where were we with that blasted computer problem?”
