The far far far right and an upstart

So Senator Eric Abetz has been elected by the liberal Senators as their Leader to take over from Nick Minchin and Senator George Brandis gets to be runner up - he becomes Deputy Leader.

This tells us a little about how the liberals expect to proceed as this year unfolds.

Abetz is leaning so far toward the right that he walks with a distinct limp. He finds it difficult to traverse the streets of Hobart because the streets are balanced, they go both left and right - and often he ends up walking clockwise around in circles trying to find his own office. He speaks with a lisp because he has trained his mouth to only speak out of the lower right portion. If he had his way he would introduce capital punishment and WorkChoices - both in the same bill. He thinks Nick Minchin is a radical leftie - so you get the idea.

And you will remember Brandis as the Queensland upstart who tagged little Johnny as that "lying little rodent". He got that part right but not much else since.

Just goes to show how relevant these geniuses have become.
