The Election Chaser - Excellent
As reported in Counter Spin, last night’s Election Chaser was excellent. The highlight of the show for me - other than the Peter Garret sketch - was Chas Licciardello’s stooge phone calls to talk back radio jocks.
John Laws cottoned on rather quickly, and told Chas (or “Tony” as he called himself) where to go. Alan Jones, however, sat back and let Chas recite almost the entire Liberal press release without interruption and followed on by reading (as the Chaser team pointed out) his OWN Liberal press release!
If you hate Alan Jones, revel in him sounding like a twat.

The Vote Greens ad was also good. (yep, Peter Garret sell-out was brilliant). Actually the whole thing was good, as it always has been. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks.
