The pond faced an agonising choice this day ... settle down with nattering "Ned" and Malware, boldly defying the Chairman's pet Donald in the matter of trade, or turn to the always reliable Major Mitchell ...
The pond quickly realised there was no point in setting up a false Sophie's choice, requiring the wisdom of Solomon ... the wily bird was in top screeching Queenslander form ...
... there was no need to argue for moderation, not when the galah could parrot a paean of love of Pauline ...
Usually the cannier reptiles will dissemble a little when trotting out their white nationalism Queenslander deep north style oi oi oi ...but not the Major, always a respecter of the potent benefits that a dose of hate and fear-mongering can yield ...
Think of the numbers! Remember Campbell!
Yep if you can't win on policy, remember you can always win on fear and loathing ... and so to the Major at his finest ...
Nota bene ...
Pauline Hanson now is a wiser politician ...
Oh sure she's still a font of hatred and bigotry and climate science denialism and all the rest of the nonsense and the carry on and the enormous stupidity ...
But ...
Pauline Hanson now is a wiser politician ...
Yes ...
Pauline Hanson now is a wiser politician ...
... which is why the pond feels comfortable asserting ...
The Major Mitchell remains one of the sillier columnists at the lizard Oz, a narcissist whose main accomplishment was to run a right wing loon rag pandering to ratbags at a handsome loss ... and he never did find that Order of Lenin medal, but he certainly nows how to celebrate the worst in politics ...
Go the migrant bashing ...
Did anyone spot the code? The dog whistle?
It makes me wonder why Malcolm Turnbull won't appear on a network that speaks to disaffected coalition voters every night and encourage them in their Islamic bashing bigotry, fear and hate ...
Uh huh, and by the way, how foolish to publicly advocate a yes vote on same-sex marriage, when everyone in Murdoch la la land knows that if you can't find an Islamic to bash, why the very best next thing is to bash a gay ...
The pond is constantly being tempted into breaches of Godwin's Law by the reptiles, and today it's the Major's turn...
You see, Adolf, forget all this jibber jabber about morality ... go the populist way. Dogwhistle, no, better still, broadcast widely on Murdochian television, your fear and hate and loathing, and the precious will be yours ... oh how the Donald learned the lesson well and look how that's turned out for America ...
... which naturally leads to a couple of Rowes, with more excellent Rowe here ...
Not sure what the term "wiser" means in the political context but I don't see how anyone who has seen Hanson's performance in senate estimates could use it in relation to her. I know some politicians play dumb to engage in a bit of electoral bottom-trawling, but seriously, she is as dumb as a box of rocks.
