PRIMAL DUCKNESS
Michael Leunig is having one of those little turns of his:
Iraq lies mutilated, traumatised and chaotic. Western civilisation has once more created shit and derision in someone else’s home. Has something gone wrong or has it all gone as guaranteed in the primal darkness of the great, white Western mind: this racist, relic treasure we’re told must be defended?
Leunig demands justice when one of his stupid cartoons turns up on an Iranian website—“I have been secretly and maliciously set up and framed ... the consequences for me and my family could be dire”—but when it comes to defending Western civilisation, he doesn’t give a damn. Leunig might change his mind if the Islamic Thinkers Society ever catches up with him; Allah’s wrath is on its way, duck boy!
(Via Andrew Bolt, who notices also that the SMH’s Men of No Appearance have morphed into Youths of No Ethnicity.)
Yeah Michael, I love it how he never even considers how MORE shit it was before 2003. Never mind that Hussein created a massive shit in his own backyard which the West is trying to make some order out of the country but are being prevented by terrorist fuckwits who want to create more shit.
If Michael prefers terrorist shit to Western crap, which guarantees that something good will flourish from it, then perhaps he can go live with Hussein, the Taliban or Ahmadinejad. Go away.
Posted by The Best Infidel on 2006 10 14 at 03:53 AM • permalinkDear Mr Leunig,
Your one way ticket to Iran is ready, as is your accommodation in the Tehran Holiday Inn.
Now sod off, and don’t let the door hit you on your way through.

NEW YORK — Air America Radio, a liberal talk and news radio network that features the comedian Al Franken, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a network official told The AP.
Aaahh...schadenfreude.

Could someone help a non-Aussie here: I thought there was conscription in Australia at the time, but the people who went to VN actually volunteered for that posting.

The distinction between a fumble and a muff should be kept in mind in considering rules about fumbles.
And you lot reckon the Cricket rules sound silly…
Must tell you about my Grandmother. After Grandad died Nanna would go to the races and have a bit of a flutter, did rather well by the looks of things. One day when I was about 19 Nanna phoned. She wanted to speak with Dad (her son). She was evasive about why. I said
“I’m 19 Nanna, I think I can help...”
Finally I extracted her question from her. She said:
“What’s a muff?”
I was gobsmacked. How do you explain this to your Grandma without, you know, being off?
To help me she said “Is it like a fanny*?”
Ah, yeah, that’s it. Exactly.
“Oh, I see.” she laughed.
I said, “My turn, why did you want to know?”
She said “I saw a T-shirt at the races and wasn’t sure what it means, but I guessed right. The T-shirt said ‘No mountain too high, no muff too tough’”.My turn to laugh.
Educating Nanna.
*NOTE: Fanny in Aus is NOT your butt. It’s the front side. Got that? (But if you say Fanny with an American accent we can usually figure out you mean bum.)
A sketcher of ducks and scribbler of ordure -a powerful combination.

Hahaha, great line.
When the Caliphate is triumphant, just as in Iran after the 78-79 Iran Revolution, it will be the communists who feel the halal butcher knife first.
From the
horse’s mouthlibertarian communist society :Following the success of the revolution, the Islamists instituted a theocratic dictatorship and wiped out the workers’ movement and the left.
Never mind the fact that at least the Right was trying to make life better for people. I don’t remember the Left ever making an effort to do this.
How soon people forget the Soviet Union. And Pol Pot. And Zimbabwe. And South Africa.

oeuvredoodles.Posted by Humblogger (the Younger) on 2006 10 14 at 08:51 AM • permalink"The time has come to be honest with ourselves and stop pretending we live in nicey-nicey, happy-clappy land." Jesus Christ, isn’t that what conservatives have been saying to hippies for the last 50 years?
And I love this line: "In the darkness one night at a rally near the American consulate, a police baton was driven into my back, for no reason that I could understand." No reason that anyone could possibly understand!
Considering that half the population of this country daily dreams of driving some sort of hard, sharpened or possibly poisoned object forcibly into Leunig, he should really get out more and ask around if he wants to get to the bottom of this particular mystery. I suspect there’d be plenty of people happy to clue him in.
I was also interested to read that as far back as 1970 Leunig’s neighbors were telling him they were ashamed of him. Such a trove of personal info, but I guess all of this idiot’s columns are really about one topic, himself and how very sad and disapointed he and his animal friends are with the rest of us.
....in the primal darkness of the great, white Western mind: this racist, relic treasure we’re told must be defended
Is Leunig white? Why his racist, self-loathing and self-defeating statements? Does he still live in the past? Just like my socialist sister, he confuses Iraq and Vietnam.
It’s wankers like these that give encouragement to the enemies of our civilizatuion, and erodes our will to defend it. These people nmake me nauseous.

I think Leunig is just channeling E.B. Farnum.
Posted by Crispytoast on 2006 10 14 at 11:07 AM • permalinkInteresting to note that Leunig was born on 2 June 1945, and his National Service “marble” (birthdate) was drawn in the first ever ballot.
He claims in the Hun article he promptly protested about conscripts in the Vietnam war which is a bloody good trick, because in 1965, all the Australian troops deployed to Vietnam were volunteers. All the pretty rainbows and purple elephants must have confused him.Forty plus years of drinking the bong water will do that to you.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2006 10 14 at 11:10 AM • permalinkThere’s nothing else quite as pathetic as the self-loathing snot. And with his level of self-loathing, Duckboy Leunig is in pretty select company.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2006 10 14 at 11:46 AM • permalink"Shit and derision...”
If I could be in Leunig’s presence right now, I would grab him by the shoulders (or possibly the neck) and shake him vigorously whilst shouting, “What the hell does that MEAN? Stick to drawing sillyass cartoons, DuckBoy!”
And then I would take a valium. That’s the sort of effect his writing has on me.
Western civilisation has once more created shit and derision in someone else’s home. Has something gone wrong or has it all gone as guaranteed in the primal darkness of the great, white Western mind: this racist, relic treasure we’re told must be defended?
So many moobats, so few cluebats…
What Micheal? Relic treasures like:
-average life spans approaching 80
-"poor" people with a/c and cars, and who’s biggest threat is obesity
-general prosperity beyond the imagination of even pre-20th century royalty
-billionaire black and brown people in charge of important public and private institutions
-equality of opportunity regardless of gender, race, religion or sexual preference
-ability to obtain redress from the government for grievances
-free and open media
-freedom to say any stupid thing you want without fear or apparently accountability
-a social safety net which will keep you alive despite your having made every stupid decision imaginableGeez, I could go on and on for hours, but if Leunig is over 60 and he still doesn’t think any of this is worth defending, its like pig wrestling. The pig likes it but you just get muddy.

So this guy is considered a “national treasure” in the land of Oz. Who the hell decided and by what standard?
The National Trust makes these decisions. That Leunig shares this particular honour with Margaret Whitlam and Peter Garrett would come as no surprise to many of Tim’s readers. What IS surprising is that our PM and Russell Crowe are also listed.
Posted by AlburyShifton on 2006 10 14 at 06:58 PM • permalinkI’d have thought that anyone who cares this much about such an issue would be
a)donating much of his income to the appropriate institutions/country.
b)be too busy lobbying to have time for leisurely dinners with violinists (not that i grudge him the social connection).He needs a home gym.

That reality bus doesn’t seem to be stopping out Michael’s way. The man is clearly a going crazy. Publiclly. Not sure who I loathe more. Leunig, Richard Neville or John Pilger. Three way fuckwit tie.
