The Age’s Catherine Deveny experiences a post-election yearning:
So the question is “Who are we going to hate now?”
Every week is hate week in Deveny’s world.
Don’t worry . . . . they’ll hate Rudd soon enough.

She could always look in the mirror.

- As I ran past a group of 30 workmen, they downed their tools and applauded.
Catherine?
Running?
I’d “applaud” too.
And I’m sure she can continue to loathe people who are thinner, better looking and more successful than her (about 97.5% of the population I’d say).
And as for this:-
As I ran past a group of 30 workmen, they downed their tools and applauded. It was a beautiful moment. I could have run for hours on an empty belly…….. I’d say it had more to do with their astonishment that such a pile of quivering blubber could achieve motion rather than her choice of top, and I doubt she’s ever experienced an empty belly since the obs slapped her mother rather then her “DON’T DO IT AGAIN!!!!!
Im glad Im not the lady washing her grundies at the moment.
“Who knows what he’s like between the sheets. Is he really conservative or is he into kinky stuff and toys? Will he be sweet and shower me with kisses or will he be unreachable and aloof but behind closed doors like it rough.”
Keep it above the waist lady! It doesnt make you sound all “sex and the City”, it makes you sound more like the 3 sheets to the wind screamer who comes onto a bloke by telling him her snatch is shaved. Desperate.
Then theres this little gem.
“Highlights of the evening? Kerry O’Brien making the gaffe about “a swing to the ABC” in Bennelong. And Kerry’s inability to repress his jubilation when it looked as if the Max Factor was going to make it over the line.”
Why? does she think he didnt mean that?

Catherine Deveny has just released a collection of her columns, It’s Not My Fault They Print Them
the most stomach churning line of all?

I don’t mean to be superficial either, but Julia Gillard’s ears? Jesus. The lobes emerge out of the ginger clumps like some kind of rare tropical fruits. Couldn’t help noticing on election night. My mind should have been on deeper matters, but I just could not get past the ears. And she was sitting next to Red Kerry – a whacker himself not underendowed in the aural department
- When she ran past the workmen, I suspect they were cheering themselves on the quality of their work; it having taken such a pounding and still intact.

Her mind. Oh well, it would be inappropriate to write about her in properly formed sentences.

Why on earth would someone give two hoots about a pollie’s sex life? What a horrid thought.
As far as I’m concerned, it has no relevance to the electorate unless it highlights a particular failing – like Kev attending a strip club and phoning his wife life partner to apologise even though a)he was too drunk to remember what he did and b)he didn’t do anything anyway.
It’s all too slippery for me; I prefer straight, more upstanding people.
As for Catherine’s remarkable prose… hmmm… I did manage to read it all the way through, although I have no idea how.
She must be laughing herself sick all the way to the bank with dreck like that.
What are the odds she’s actually a plant of the Dark Lord’s to provide us with entertainment?

The link to “hate week” led me on a little journey….Hate week led me to Orwell, whos real last name was Blair,that led me on to thinking about the English way of life,which led me to think about its impact on the world,Two words sprang to mind “Anglophobia” and “Anglophiles”,yes they are words,Anglophiles are lovers of all things English which belive it or not Asad of Syria is one,whos birthday is Sept 11,Which made me think how interesting……Now if i was a small minded left leaning tub of lard like Cathurine i would have read that and yelled CONSPIRACY.
335- My missus likes Hockey as well, must be his jolly fat person schtick on Sunrise, whereas I tend to think of him as a sort of glandular Malcolm Turnbuckle with mild brain damage.
As to getting all tooey over a politician, I might not shove Julie Bishop out of the cot for farting but the concept of playing hide the sausage with virtually anyone else in any house of parliament fills me with a combination of dread, violent nausea and an urge for a quick, violent and messy suicide.
BTW, the Nationals are ready to follow the Democrats into the tarpit of history, with serial fuckwit Barnacle Joyce in the running for leader- I hate that extortionate, gonk-headed pillock more than Peter Garrett, Bob Brown and Kommisar Gizzard combined*.
*Imagine that sort of a sandwich- impossible to do so without injecting bleach into your medulla to try to immediately scrub the image.
All this talk about a resounding slap in the face for the Liberals is just so much sophistry.
Based on the ABC website:
http://www.abc.net.au/elections/federal/2007/
Liberal plus National have 42.1% of the vote
Labor has 43.9% of the vote.
Now that’s actually 43.9 for the Coalition, because it’s a true Coalition: Nationals and Liberals formulate policy and govern.
You can’t include the Greens 7.5 to make the Labor majority 51.4% if you’re honest, because Labor (though they will manipulate and pander to the interests of the Greens) will not draw the Greens into a true coalition.
So at the end of the day, there’s basically a bee’s dick between Liberal and Labor in terms of the majority of the serious-minded electorate, with some odds and sods single issue parties who hijack the mandate for their niche interests and will never actually govern or have any responsibility.

#46- What about this fine example of all the best of Labor masculinity?
Something that seems missing from Kevvie’s Kabinet, where this is probably the butchest thing.
#48- Actually I think it’s a good photo, one of the few without a shitload of photoshop or a 44 gal drum of industrial strength vaseline on the lens. Must have taken courage to hold focus- I’d say it was snapped by a seasoned combat photographer, with a particularly strong stomach and remarkable control of their gag reflex.
Pretty young girls! You want pretty young girls governing you?????
Do you have any idea of how much time such girls, when they are in luuurve, spend on the phone talking to their current luuurve interest?
I give you this. Just substitute MHR, or employee, for “wife”. (Julia Gillard, however, is an exception to the ugly rule.)
’I did a victory lap around the People’s Republic of Moreland in my KEVIN07 T-shirt …
… A large section of Lygon Street was closed off for tramline work. As I ran past a group of 30 workmen… I could have run for hours on an empty belly, a clear head and a heart just bursting.’
Catherine has given me the image of her running wildly and randomly about the streets with a Kevin07 shirt on, and her underpants on her head. She is an adorable little madwoman. I actually read her columns weekly. Even though I disagree with her views completely, she writes like such a caricature of a lefty that I find it amusing and quite engaging.
I’m in the Deveny fan club – go on, Cat, write something else ridiculous!
Poor Catherine had to have a rest after all that running.
If that fat bucket of guts Deveny has ever run more than 10 feet to catch a tram, I’ll bare my bum in Bourke St on Friday night.
“Victory lap around Moreland”- Bullshit (unless it was on the back of 8 ton truck).

I, too, tend to read Deveny’s columns each week. No, really. I like to remind myself that the left truly is as ineffectual as I like to think it is.
Seriously, this waffling bint isn’t even worth wasting profanity over. God above, when you describe yourself, for example, as a “cultural Catholic” (as she does) all you’re saying is you want a bet each way and don’t have the sense of identity to choose anything. In that particular phrase she sounds like she’s going for something along the lines of detesting the Protestant ascendancy but despising thewierd guy with eczema or the Saint-ridden mythmakers (or something like that – I need to be channelling Manning Clark to do that sort of phrasing justice). Anyway, she’s a lightweight with pretensions to being a cultural figure and aspirations to being a jellyfish.
Incidentally, if we’re picking beddable politicians, why not this one? She strikes me as the sort of woman who would be REALLY attractive when she was angry.

Amazing news everyone! Rudd is elected and magically housing is more affordable than it has been in 22 years!
Yay Kruddster!
Krudd’s next trick will be to magically make the drought go away…
This Deveny chick would be more use to the world if she stuck to writing Harlequins.

Catherine Deveny has just released a collection of her columns, It’s Not My Fault They Print Them, published by Black Inc.
And here I was marveling at the Age paying her for would-be bodice rippers parading as political commentary.

#25 Big Jim, I too noticed Gillard’s ears. The earrings she was wearing didn’t do her any favours, just highlighted how weird her lobes are.
Sophie – now you’re talking. A double date with her and Julie Bishop (or hey, let’s not be too fussy, Bronwyn!)would certainly top a night out with, say Jewlia and Jenny Macklin.
One would have to be careful as a Bagdad paperboy on a night out with Jewles and Jen.
You’d end up as full as a dribbler’s flute trying to get those hags that pissed that you could make a tactical withdrawl by pouring them in to a maxi taxi, hopefully chundering all over each other and the back seat and leaving any subsequent negotations in respect of cutting out the fare to the rancid cabbie, who may well do a passable impression of Ron Jeremy.
Having said that, let me say this in favour of Jewles and Jen, I’m sure wouldn’t yell, tell or swell and they’d be as grateful as hell.
Tim, why do you keep sending Devenyher readers? I had to give up the first paragraph. Just yck.
The answer is, of course, the lefties hate Western society, white people and the whole human race, excluding victims.

Funny how the will of the people is such a noble principle just now. Last two times they expressed their will it made them selfish, racist morons apparently.
