FITE URGS WITH PASSIN
Margo Kingston on “passinate” fighter turned Telstra sellout—yay!—Barnaby Joyce:
Barnaby is fighting competing urges in a passinate and very public way, like Latham did, remember?
Yes. Yes, we do.
He has harnessed people power to stop the sale by convincing very cynical voters that he was different. Then he proved to be the same, almost in an INSTANT!
Why, it’s like Margo’s change of opinion on Mark Latham.
The Telstra story isn’t over yet, folks. Senator Barnaby Joyce will get so many emails from pissed off Ozzies [Imre Salusinszky asks: “Nelson or Osbourne?”] - and irate contact in other forms - he’ll either change his mind or collapse as a centred human being.
At which point he’ll join Margo’s bi-tri-quadpolar Webdiary team. Speaking of which, Webdiary insight artist Robert Bosler—may the winning energy be upon him—has evidently commenced making soup.
