Perhaps if you didnt worship trecherous dictators you could see what a talent i am, i certainly have no problem recognizing it.

I wish the Doc has stayed in a little longer. At least there was no danger people would take him seriously. I agree, Bridgit, Brendan beats Alexanderpants any day.

Mind you, I still rate his brief stint as leader more highly than I do Alexander Downer's. His born-to-rule demeanour, inane smirking and idiotic attempts at wit (e.g. 'things that batter') were outweighed only by his own utter ineffectiveness. Plus Downer had no answer to Keating's barbs, which stuck in his hide like harpoons might stick in a flabby white whale. R.I.P. Doctor Five-Strats, second-worst Liberal Party leader in recent history. He wasn’t hated, he wasn’t feared, he was just pathetic.

Come on in, it's warm, and we have soup. Not that cheap no-name brand soup either, that the pensioners are forced to eat because the Ruddler is a cheap bastard, but real soup. With lumps. And chunks. Come on in, you will be amongst friends, instead of fiends. I will put a candle in the window tonight for you, Brennie. Come on in, it’s warm, and we have soup.

Turnbull, on the other hand, I loathe immensely. Only thing going for him is that he's a republican.
