Election Latest zzzzzzz

The high spot of the election so far has been Julie Bishop's appearance on The Chaser. Julie is my favourite out of the two Bishop's in the Liberal Party. She gave a very good impression of a woman who actually has a sense of humour and fun...difficult to fake that and perhaps I've been misjudging her because she is otherwise pretty scary. Now that I've seen her give the death stare to a garden gnome (causing him to fall of the table and shatter) I won't be able to see it again without smiling. She should get out more.
The rest of it though has been just as dull as commercial TV. Political journalists reporting on the leaders debate presumably actually watched it from start to finish and all I can say is that they are worth more money and no wonder they drink. The bosses obviously have Julia drugged so that she just drones on and on and on about moooovving foooorrrward and goiiing fooooorward and the Austraaaaaaalian people, all of whom have surely nodded off by now.
Poor Tony is obviously pretty drug resistant so they've just tied him up and stuffed a wallabies scarf in his mouth. You can see from his eyes that he's busting to say things but he can't get it out. I've got a hint for them from The West Wing When the election was going badly for Bartlett one of his campaign team came up with the brilliant idea to "let Bartlett be Bartlett". It'll never happen of course, that was just TV. But if they were to let Abbot be Abbot they just might win. Of course he'd frighten a few horses on the way but the horses he frightens were never Liberal voters anyway.
