WAYNE!
Occasional correspondent Wayne Sanderson fires in an email:
Jeesus Tim, your feckin’ hypocrisy knows no bounds. Quiggin silent on Kyoto, huh? Well, he’s well capable of addressing that.
But what happened to Tim “big mouth” Blair on issues like Iraq, soon to be the Athens of the Middle East, throwing flowers before the liberating Americans? Or your other love interest (aside from Howard), Bush? Regularly we used to be told about his brilliance, his towering popularity. Now the dill has been exposed for the useless dill he is on every issue, domestic and international you care to mention, and nothing from Tim. Nothing on his bottom sucking poll figures.
What about “only a few bad apples on one night” involved with torture ... at least Andrew Sullivan and even Instapundit (once) have pursued Bush and Rumsfeld over that sordid mess. Nothing from Blair. (Even though it has helped to bring undone the US occupation of Iraq - something you were sooooo in favour of.)
Oh, and as for Kyoto ... that’d be the treaty you confidently and joyously said on a number of occasions would never be ratified. Umm? And global warming? The thing that was soooo not happening, according to Tim. Even Ron Bailey at reason has had the good grace to acknowledge he was wrong about that. Nothing from Blair.
The stand out feature of your blog is the issues and reports you don’t touch. (As I’ve said before, if Margo didn’t exist, most days you’d have nothing to write about.)
To turn around and talk about someone else being silent on an issue makes you just about the most shameless hypocrite I have ever seen in any walk of life, just this side of paedophile priests.
Tim Blair and paedophile priests. A perfect match. I hope John gives it to you with both barrels seeing as you’ve been so stupid to lead with your chin. You’ve sure got it coming.
Wayne’s World! Party Time! Rock ‘n’ Roll. Whee whee whee wheeee!
Wisdom of Wayne: “Will you still love me when I’m in my carbohydrate, sequined-jumpsuit, young-girls-in-white-cotton-panties, waking-up-in-a-pool-of-your-own-vomit, bloated-purple-dead-on-a-toilet phase?”
Well? WILL YOU????
Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 09 03 at 01:22 PM • permalinkI see from the link to Wayne’s earlier “contribution” that he used to work at something called the “Brisbane Institute”. That’s just like the Adelaide Institute, right?
Well, PW, they are both “institutes”, they are both in Australia, they are both named after cities….hmmmmmmm, I think that you ask a fair question here.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 09 03 at 01:23 PM • permalinkWhen people go over the top on their opinions, when they make themselves look like complete and unadulterated idiots, I like to see a photo of them. Then I know what “lunacy” looks like.
Here’s Wayne’s photo:

To be fair to Wayne, it might not have been a good day for a photo shoot.
Posted by wronwright on 2005 09 03 at 01:32 PM • permalinkBy the way, Wayne needs a dictionary. “Feck” doesn’t mean what he thinks he does.
Of course, Wayne is seriously fact challenged. That certainly could explain this particular corruption of the English language

I’m not sure but isn’t that the NAMBLA chatroom on the screen behind the compassionate-avuncular-head-tilt?
Can’t say for sure, but it’s certainly the sort of face that just says: “Hi kids! I’ve got free candy for anybody who wants to jump in the van and help me find my lost puppy.”
Oh, I see, wronwright! Wayne is a journalist. And freelance, no less!
But he seems to be a producer for ABC. Based on his e-mail to Tim, Wayne needs to keep his day job.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 09 03 at 01:40 PM • permalinkfeckin’ hypocrisy ... Tim “big mouth” Blair ... dill ... useless dill ... bottom sucking ... shameless hypocrite ... paedophile priests ... paedophile priests ... stupid.
Charming.
Posted by Bruce Rheinstein on 2005 09 03 at 01:40 PM • permalinkHmmmmm, checking on a Google search for “sanderson wayne” journalist, I get only ONE hit, and that one is a false positive.
Are we sure that he is a journalist?
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 09 03 at 01:43 PM • permalinkHey, wait a minute. Oh, that’s just great. Iowahawk posts a comment after me and includes the same link that I posted. But just because he’s Iowahawk (wiggles fingers), no one will even bother to read my post.
Life’s a damn bitch.
(why couldn’t it had been McEnroe???)
Posted by wronwright on 2005 09 03 at 01:55 PM • permalinkWronwright, please read my post.
I accept your humble apology in advance. Don’t forget to send that sub-Antarctic lake up here…..Kuwait is still hot, and I want a cool breeze NOW!
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 09 03 at 02:23 PM • permalinkI think he means this feck
http://www.fathertedonline.ukf.net/jackwords.htm#feck
Father tedthey even look similar.
Wayne Sanderson? Are we sure that Wayne’s not really his middle name?
Apologize? I don’t apologize. I’m a neocon! And an evil one at that!
Did Bush apologize for the tsunami? No. Did Rove apologize for global warming. No. Did Wolfowitz and all the other joooos apologize for 9/11? No. And I don’t apologize either.
You posted a link to the institute. I posted a link to Wayne’s mug shot—er, profile photo. Two entirely different things. Entirely.
Iowahawk on the other hand posts a link also to whathisname’s photo. After me. But when the hundreds of other bloggers start linking to this comment thread and especially to Sanderson’s photo, whose comment will they link to? Iowahawk! The show off.
Not that I care or anything.
Posted by wronwright on 2005 09 03 at 02:49 PM • permalinkDon’t forget to send that sub-Antarctic lake up here…..Kuwait is still hot, and I want a cool breeze NOW!
Well, you know what? Maybe I would send up the lake if I could control this @#$%* weather machine. But I can’t even turn it off. It just keeps on going. It’s scaring me. And Yippie, my wife’s dachsund too. But I don’t care about that. It’s doing something big and it’s well sort of scaring me.
But I ain’t apologizing for that either.
Posted by wronwright on 2005 09 03 at 02:55 PM • permalinkWronwright, I specifically credited you in post #10. Iowahawk and I posted almost simultaneously. Can’t wiggle outa this one, Bubba! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
But I graciously accept your apology, even if you won’t admit that you apologized.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 09 03 at 03:24 PM • permalinkGeez Tim, I just realized that you are WORSE THAN HITLER. Thank God Wayne has opened my eyes…
Posted by Mystery Meat on 2005 09 03 at 04:31 PM • permalinkAmazing. There is an unwritten rule for female popular singers that as your talent goes, you have to take off more clothing to stay famous (unfair sexism of the marketplace, but true much of the time). A similar law is grinding down liberal commenters: as your grasp of reality goes south, you have to swear more for your friends to think you’re funny.
Posted by Assistant Village Idiot on 2005 09 03 at 05:37 PM • permalink#3 PW,
The Brisbane Institutue is nothing like the Adelaide Institute, which are a bunch of nazi sympathisers, as as been well documented on this site.
If I was to think up a quick description of the Brisbane Institute, it would be psuedo-intellectual tryhards :) trying to pretend that there actually is an intellectual culture in Queensland.it also tends to be used as a platform by both sides of politics to push their policies/rewrite history.
I work with a few people who have contributed to the rag, and it would be too easy to characterise them as the type any city gets, that like to think of themsevles as the thinkiing section of the community, and live in the correct area of town (ie in Brisbane’s case, within a few km of the Uni, aka the federal seat of Ryan).Anyway, in Sanderson’s case, he works for the ABC - ‘nough said.
Q. The Brisbane Institute of what?
A. Ideas! Innovation! Networking! The Brisbane Institute is an ideas marketplace,That’d make Wayne an ideas man. Reminds me a lot of
NiallNeil Cook, the racist Camry driving wookie.Wayne is fact challenged as well as being inhumane. The cowardly mayor of New Orleans, who has for the last crisis days been hiding in Baton Rouge and who showed no leadership at all while he was in New Orleans, is an African-American Democrat. The feeble-minded governor, who waited until one day before the hit of a Cat 5 hurricane to urge people to evacuate and who did nothing substantive since,is a White Democrat. So much for a “Red” State. The incompetents are all Democrats. If Wayne knew anything about the structure of U.S. Federalism, he would know that the Presidemt can do nothing unless the Governor of a State provides permission in writing. And what is now the latest “act” of this Democratic “Red” state Governor; today she hired the former and disgraced head of FEMA under Bill Clinton to advise her on how to proceed. And the first thing this jackass does, while bodies are still floating down the levee, is to inform the media that it was a (Republican) mistake to place FEMA under Homeland Security. Hey, Wayne, this is your kindred spirit; place politics and venom in place of human decency.
First off, I’d like to know how wronwright managed to post Iowahawk’s link before Iowahawk did. Was there some Australian-style switch from Daylight Savings to Standard Time involved? I used to pull that trick at Lucianne.com.
Second, Governor Bianco is worse than stats says. Loudly on TV she demanded troops but signed nothing to make it legal for Bush to send them or FEMA or any other federal agency. Guess that’s how she does things in Lousiana, maybe she never signs anything, maybe she’s illiterate. Or maybe she did it all on purpose and is a sociopath, out to look like a heroic victim of a Bush vacationing oblivious to hers and New Orleans’ needs. That image has been sold big-time in the USA. But remember the Mayor going into that thing about how he had the legal authority to order a mandatory evacuation? That’s because the Governor wouldn’t do it. If Bush hadn’t appealed to them to order said evacuation, a lot more people would be dead or suffering.
“Where is this generation’s Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy? Anyone who will simply say: Enough”.
Where is the Middle East’s Mahatma, or Martin Luther King?
In Wayne’s world, there are supposed to be peaceful solutions to violent problems, but they are not explained, and cannot, therefore, implemented in the real world. Not sure where Robert Kennedy comes in on this “peace barrage”. Did he sleep through the Bay of Pigs episode?
As for #24 above - you are on thin ice indeed if you think that liberal commenters cannot be ground down by people on this blog without recourse to swearing. What are you really on about?Blogstrop took me at the opposite of my meaning. The fault is mine, for writing poorly. I was noting that profanity is increasing among liberals, with a linear relationship between irrationality and filth, suggesting that some law of related deterioration is at work.
Posted by Assistant Village Idiot on 2005 09 03 at 09:32 PM • permalinkMost priests caught at it were pederasts, not paedophiles, Wayne.
Your reliance on polls is touching. Elections, I guess, are less reliable. Pity about that government-forming thing that follows.
What happened at Abu Ghraib was no joke but a picnic compared to what used to happen there. (Wayne and his mates want a civil war in Iraq so bad. ‘Disaster’ for George Bush is worth any number of Iraqi corpses.)
Kyoto was impractical, expensive, scientifically dubious and a recipe for economic disaster. (The Kiwi govt has already pulled a swiftie by spending all the carbon credits then passing the cost on to tax payers, even those who invested in so-called green industries.)
Wayne can get a free argument on these issues anytime here but it seems he’s more into defamatory, unsolicited email.
What the heck, it’s pointless trying to refute someone who condemns himself out of his own mouth.
Perhaps Wayne would like some email in return? Something focused, on say, paedophile clergy? Or the incompetence of guvvmint? The meandering circular arguments of jerkoffs that work in “Institutes”?
I’ve got an idea for the Wayne. He could join Quiggin as a professional Protocolologist and stare up the environments backside for a living. It’d be the heads of Cerberus with those two hairy clowns peering intently into the gloom of the Protocols of the Elders of Kyoto.
wronwright, I used your link!
Unfortunately, I also felt compelled to read Sanderson’s article “Words fail us” from 18 Sept. 2001.
I wonder if he still believes this load of crap:
Sure the ‘mad and bad’ rationalisation will help - the lie that ‘they’ are evil and fanatical and so horribly not-us, so insanely not-human; - that lie might work for a while, will work, at least for some, God bless America.And this:
Where is this generation’s Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy? Anyone who will simply say: Enough.There you go. It’s so simple. All we need is the right person to say: Enough.
Any volunteers?
Heh, the reason I use a pseudonym tag is that it allows some latitude for commenting on aspects of government policy, that would otherwise get me in hot water. This is one of the key liberating things about the internet.
It amuses me that people like Mr Sanderson (usually on the left) can so clearly lay out their personal prejudices for all to see, particularly when he works for an organisation (the ABC) for which being seen to be impartial should be an imperative.
I am not asking that they do not have views, but that they should recognise that as a public employee, they should not publicly express their views. I am not talking about whistle blowing, but critique of public policy. My view is perhaps a bit too traditional, but as a public employee, you are the instrument of government policy, and you serve the Government of the day. In future, Mr Sanderson, use a pseudonym – that way it is clear you are a private citizen, and you will not bring your employer into disrepute.
I guess my view of the role of a public servant is a key factor in my belief that an organisation like the ABC should be broken up. It is too difficult to conduct investigative/confrontation journalism, and be a proper public employee. The original reason to be for the ABC – that these services would otherwise not be available to the public, ceased to be valid a long time ago.
And global warming? The thing that was soooo not happening, according to Tim. Even Ron Bailey at reason has had the good grace to acknowledge he was wrong about that. Nothing from Blair.
Yeah, Tim, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you just say you were wrong for not believing in something that is not even remotely demonstrably true? Personally, I missed the part where the issue has been settled and proven; maybe ol’ Wayne could provide some sort of link.
For the record, I acknowledge that I was wrong for not believing in global warming, creationism, the Easter Bunny, and the aliens at Roswell.
The internet is so cool! It enables people all around the world to see what kind of TWAT Wayne Sanderson really is.

So, um, where is Quiggin?
And why are lefties so in love with gay-baiting? Does that come from John Kerry’s great success with it in the debates?
