A member of my family has joined the LIBS

A member of my family has joined the Liberals. I can't say that I blame hime. If I were young and idealisitic again I'd hardly be rushing to join up with Craig Thomson, Bill Shorten and bloody Julia. And we have not yet heard the end of the Eddie Obeid saga that will drag on well beyond the next NSW elections.
The Craig Thomson business is becoming very troubling. He's a pretty creepy sort of person by all appearances but the pursuit of him is starting to have echoes of Nick Sherry 20 years ago, An unfair comparison (to Senator Sherry) perhaps. But for the past couple of months I've had the thought that this blokle is going to crack and when he does he might just hurt himself. We don't have the death penalty here for being a creep.
The sleaze factor appeals to the press and the mad monk and his evil cronies are feeding it like crazy at every opportunity. It cuts both ways too with so far unsuccessful attempts to smear the odious little twerp Christopher Pyne and (from within the Libs) Bill Heffernan. I just wonder what sort of impression it gives young people aboput politics.
On the Heffernan story there's more to that little can of central coast worms to come out and Chris (Darth Vader) Hartcher is in it up to his eyes.
It's all just so unedifying. 

Julia's got to GO

I say nothing for months and then two blogs in quick succession. She just has got to go. I thought it was instructive that at her " a line has been crossed" press conference she was alone. Not a minder in sight. Not a marginal seat candidate over each shoulder nodding agreement. Not even little Bill standing behind her looking authoritative and in control. They've clearly decided that it is all going to be her fault.
How they ever ijmagined that they were going to get away with suppporting Craig Thompson defies explaination. Same goes for Slipper.
It's all of their faults of course. And we are going to get Tony Abbot and that will be their fault too.
The best hope now to minimise the loss and build for a return to sensible Government some time in the forseeable future is to put Kevin back.
There's a dog whistle type attempt to smear Christopher Pyne over his asking for the phone number of Slipper's openly gay staffer who later made the famous allegations. Pyne is not to put it too finely an odious little twerp, but who he asks for their phone number (providing that they are consenting adults) is not any of anyone's business.
Astonishingly, Kristina "Hairspray" Kenealy seems to be making a claim to be resurrected by the media. Perhaps she dreams of jumping in to Peter Garret's seat at the nexy election and then emerging to save the day. I don't know why we don't just make Joe Tripodi PM and have done with it.
