BOB CAN SPELL

Greens senator Bob Brown makes a devastating political point:

The first four letters of this government is ‘coal’ - that’s the Coalition.

And the first four letters of Greens are gree—aptly enough, considering that party’s grotesque assumption of moral superiority. More from Wordmaster Bob:

[Kyoto] recognised that the countries who had created climate change over the last 200 years had to be the first cab off the rank in winding it back.

No cabs for Bob, however:

I’ve just been in California ...

  1. He’s evidently another believer of “the climate never changed before the Industrial Revolution”.

    Though he really needs to get his message straight..."over the last 200 years”? I thought the climate was just perfect until a few years ago?

  2. Bob obviously travelled via the magic pixie teleport. In parts of California, Bob would be regarded as a Republican.

    BTW- anyone ever noticed how many of the hectoring dingbats that appear in the media berating us for our feckless disregard for the environment etc have southern Californian or Oregon accents? I wish we could export our surplus idiots, as the US and NZ seem able to do.

  3. First four letters of democrats is “demo” - a model they put out as a test but no one bought it?

  4. First four letters of One Nation is Onen - missed Onan by that much!

  5. How this for ominous- the first four letters of nazi is nazi!

    Bob’s onto something*.

    *Organic crystal meth I’d say, going by his delusional, paranoid rantings. Case closed if some sexually abused, mutilated fluffy critters start turning up around the senate.

  6. Yes, words games are fun for the whole family. For instance, an anagram for “Greens Senator Bob Brown” is “A robber bent goner snows”. Kind of sums up the whole thing…

  7. Habib, I’m still not sure why you sent me that email about log-in details.

    I met a couple of hunky English boys the other day who were riding around the world or something. They hadn’t used planes the whole journey. I think they had magic bikes or they were Jesus or something. Cool boys.

    Labo for Labor Party, which if you replace one of the letters should excite some people.

  8. The first three letters of Labour explain plenty…

  9. And if you miss the b for L-a-b, and hit the v instead…
    Ah, toilet humour. Gotta do something to get myself through a Monday.

  10. So the immoral, anti-progress, moonbat, narcissistic, tree hugging, cob swallowing Greens leader trots out the same old predictable piffle that all of the world’s problems are of our doing (but not his and his deluded ilk’s) and that we should spend trillions of dollars to assuage our guilt but make fuck all actual difference.

    Note to Bob Brown. You and your intellectual lemons dressed up as watermelons cannot rely on gaining my vote anytime soon.

  11. Gree Sena Kerr Nett fails to draw any distinction between Saddam Hussein and Australian drug smugglers.

  12. The first four letters of Bob’s last name are brow. You can either beat or mop a brow. I choose beat.

  13. The first four letters ... ?

    Just how old are these people?

  14. The first seven letters of Nuclear Disarmament Party are nuclear.

    Coincidence or perhaps something more sinister? You be the judge.

  15. There’s a delightful joke about Scunthorpe waiting to be told here.

  17. The first four letters of this government is ‘coal’ - that’s the Coalition

    Sorry Bob. The first four letters of The Coalition are THEC.

  18. # 15 - thats just wrong.  But I like it :-)

  19. Someone needs to tell Bob that there is no party called “The Coalition”. It’s just a name for when two parties rule jointly.

    Like....gasp...the Greens and SPD did in Germany.

  20. Speaking of Brown and his great mate Al Gore.
    I see where ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is out on DVD later this month.
    Can anybody tell me what are the environmental hazards attached to ‘dust to dust’ of the DVD business.

    Greenhouse gases and CO2 spewed into the atmosphere for the raw materials of a DVD and it’s case, manufacturing and printing, packaging, distribution and retailing the product. Also, the last dust, the enviro cost of disposal of the product at the end of it’s life. I guess the DVD business would be fairly lethal in terms of CO2.

  21. Laurie Oakes has annointed Peter Garrett the future of the ALP because of all the traction Labor is getting with climate change.

  22. Burning coal is a traditional activity of many nations, and as such cannot be gainsaid by these modern control freaks like Brown - who gets press and TV coverage way beyong that justified by the pathetically small number of votes required to get him into parliament.

  23. No cabs for Bob? I could see him in a rickshaw…

  24. I wonder what would come to light if some of our more research oriented folk would dig into who exactly was behind the Kyoto Protocol. It might prove very interesting to learn what other methods or concepts they have advocated in the past.

  25. Momentum is building for Peter Garrett to actually do something one day

    At the ARIA awards the other night some band graffitied the wall with

    “PG for PM”

  26. I tried to post the letter “j”, but it won’t let me.
