Heard him deny this shortly after he was addressed regarding Maxwell's assertion.

Well I guess that's good news, although a few here would be sticking pins into the lower back of their Clarke voodoo dolls.  

Probably just as well as there's no one ready to take over.

As captain, or as designated suppository of blame, or as both?

That made the news over here!

Did the "furore" over Abbott saying the Lib candidate for Lindsay (a blonde chick) had sex appeal also make news OS?

Is she also toxic?

That Labor would make a major issue over such a trivial thing just shows the level of desperation they have reached.
Another example of gutter politics that Labor has stooped to is in a huge labor funded billboard in Hobart showing Wilkie shaking hands with Tony Abbott. The inference is that a vote for Wilkie is a vote for the Libs. Wilkie, apparently, contacted Rudd & asked him to remove it & Rudd, apparently, told him to go forth & multiply.

yes dear

How did Labor make an issue of it? Sounds like it is the media who have done it.

It's a strange world when a compliment made so publicly is twisted into something bad or sinister yet it's perfectly OK to systematically and persistently refer to opponents as ugly/nerdy little men, or run a campaign consistently portraying and lampooning them as stupid or monkey-like (both sides of US politics have been guilty of this).

Krudd trotted out the "Abbott is a sexist pig" line (paraphrasing) at a press conference in his home electorate this arvo. The various networks promptly dug up a clip of Krudd complimenting the look and dress of a chick journo during the 07 campaign, and saying "I L-i-i-i-i-ke it"  .

Talk-back (GB and UE) was inundated with calls and emails saying "you're farken kidding me" to the "furore" (i.e. since when was it a crime to compliment a member of the fairer sex???). I suspect the Pinkos have again scored an own goal. Krudd is lurching from one clanger to the next, while Tony seems to be able to laugh off his few bloopers. His response today to the "sex appeal" line was "my daughter told me it was a "daggy dad" moment" which drew warm laughter from the journo pack. He also made some mileage out of his suppository line the previous day. Meanwhile Krudd continues to drive everyone nuts with the Kevin 13 fringe flick.

Krudd's bad hair day

Ah yes. A Michael Clarke thread. Perfect for Australian politics. You know what's going on in the Aus politics thread? Cookery class.

It has replaced cricket as the Aussie national sport.

Don't agree with that. Whinging is the new Aussie national sport.

True, but from what I have seen here the two are synonymous.

 You know, I was lying awake at night wondering about that....

So Labor are bad for making a deal over a sexist comment...and you then have to make deal and mock someone for a bad hair day?

What's it like to be a hypocrite?

Shit, sorry Dan!! Was there a moment there we weren't looking at and listening to you?? Humble apologies.

Settle down, you pinko halfwit. That's a youtube clip that's been doing the rounds for a month. I neither created it, nor advertised it - merely reposted it as one of the stories the press are running about Krudd. Sorry you dumb Wozzies are 2 months behind the rest of Aus and you can't keep up. Keep up, you Pinko drongo.

How appropriate for the last few posts, that the thread they've hijacked is meant to be about a massive pile of steaming toxic shit....

Sorry skully. You're right - threads can digress.

Just a bit tiring that you're basically campaigning for your party by shrieking a load of blotto-eyed shite, wherever you can fit it in. Obviously, carry on. Just nice to see another thread descend into a load of bilge, with you all chucking in bitter yet self-satisfied comments. Just like a thread called Aus Politics (XXV).

I blame you for the hijack, Nerkles.
