Yahoo! is asking Should Peter Costello make a run for the Liberal Party leadership?

Vote yes.

Again and again.

And again.

And then again.

And again and again and again.

Don’t forget to vote on who you think will lead the demoralised and broken Liberal party. Entries close tomorrow morning!

Update: Disappointing news from the Vatican. Surely Malcolm Turnbull has no serious competitors?

Update 2: Wise philosopher Habib comments on Tim Blair:

Slightly O/T, but Turnbull has backed saying sorry (and thus exposing taxpayers to extensive and expensive litigation), and given the nod to nobbling workplace reform, accompanied by fellow northshore (sic) fatboy knobend (sic) Joe Hockey- a display of pathetic invertabrate (sic) snivelling (sic) that’d ashame a bluebottle.

I don’t think whoever gets the leadership of the liberal party’s going to make any difference- they already were a mild centrist social democrat party, they’ll now veer further to the left, and idssapear (sic) into irrelevance as they have on a state level.

Time for a new party methinks, one that actually holds conservative/libertarian values and sticks to them.

If the option is a pack of spineless panderers and spendthrifts over the incumbent apologise-addicted drunken sailors, the ALP’s going to be in office until the place goes bankrupt and finally turns to the inevitible (sic) Mad Max 2 dystopia that the electorate richly deserves.

You heard the man. The Rudd government is going to lead to this:

But Habib don’t stop there:

Turnbull (and his idiot wife) are North Shore luvvies straight out of central casting- he’s acceptable to the left, because he agrees with a lot of their fruity ideas; I think the Liberal party’s had the dick, all the wet retards and embarrassing cretins like Petro Georgiou, Bruce Baird and Dana Vaile got back in while more conservative (and effective) types like Mal Brough got the arse.

BTW, I don’t think any party has the right to apologise (and thus expose to litigation) to anyone on behalf of taxpayers without getting their approval (via referendum) to do so- I’ll be fucked if I say sorry for something that’s none of my responsibility, particularly when the actions being apologised for saved lives and educated the alleged “victims”.

Get ready for a return to Keatingesque black armband bollocks big time.

There, there. It’ll be okay. No one’s expecting you to take any responsibility, we know it’s beyond you.

It happened. Rudd is PM. Life is already changing - this morning I was beaten up by union thugs three times before breakfast, and The Editor was dismayed to find that supermarket prices were already spiraling out of control. The resources boom is over and the drought is even worse. To cap it off, Peter Costello has just announced that he is not contesting the leadership of the Liberal Party.

Today’s poll - who would you like to see lead the Liberal party?

My vote is for Tony Abbott - how hilarious would that? Abbott would be far more damaging than Latham ever was. For one he’d make Cardinal Pell deputy leader and force all non-Catholics to sea.

According to Treasurer Peter Costello’s definition of a union official as somebody who is a mere union member, our GrodsPoll reveals that 73% of GrodsCorp readers are union officials.

This poll result indicates that GrodsCorp is more dominated by the union movement than the ALP and, therefore, less trustworth with the keys to the Australian economy than Labor. Remember this well when you’re marking your ballot paper on November 24.

The results are in:

And so it’s my honour to present this image…

… to be viewed in conjunction with this song.

This poll is for McBec who asked me to post it. For the record, she votes for Tony Abbott.

Vote early, vote often.

Last week GrodsCorp had a go at The Age’s pathetic reader polls. But yesterday’s poll, as published today with results, rocks:

Should State Parliament proceedings be available via internet streaming?
Yes: 81%
No: 19%
Total: 21 votes

21 votes. 21! This Print 2.0 thing is really working out for Fairfax, ain’t it?
