Tony Abbott’s Stinky Windows

Australians, if you vote for John Howard, you may just be voting this cock knocker into the position of PMTony Abbott’s campaign office has been vandalised. It appears poor old Tony’s campaign workers had to clean human excretement off the windows after a passer by couldn’t resist leaving a special message for Tony. Some days, I really feel sure there’s a God.

“You wonder why people would want to express themselves this way when there are perfectly acceptable ways of expressing themselves at the ballot box.”

Hmmm. Perhaps, Tony, people feel the need to wipe shit all over your office because they’re frustrated enough to resort to peurile but more than likely incredibly satisfying behaviour. They may not be confident that a significant enough portion of the Australian community will have the intelligence and\or decency to vote for the least evil politician in their electorate on October 9 and instead will throw their support behind a bunch of white collar wankers who rely on scaremongering to frighten swinging voters into supporting them and pander to the most selfish and least compassionate traits of the public. Perhaps.

However, Mr Abbott said he did not take the incident personally. “I just get a bit disappointed occasionally,” Mr Abbott said. “But not withstanding the odd person who goes over the top, I have great faith and confidence in the judgment of the Australian people.”

Awww do you get disappointed, Tony? Eh? Would you like a tissue, you big bloody girl? Perhaps after your done drying your tears, you could use it to do a final wipedown of your slightly whiffy windows!

Yeah, but it’s pretty gross/null. You can’t have the negative hoopla over the “Liberals on bikes pulling down signs” and then back this “rejoinder”. I don’t think it achieves anything (does it?).

indulgent aside

Speaking of bikes, the “Extreme Mormons” movie promo Safran did last week was brilliant. He really is a genius. The other classic that comes to mind was the Jewish boyband in his Music Jamboree, “down down down down to Jewtown”. Now that’s aus-culture. :) http://www.musicjamboree.com/body.html?id=282

It achieves nothing, admittedly! But I never claimed to be balanced :)

I think the two situations are slightly (slightly) different since the poster incidents were occuring on private properties of normal people, complete with abuse and vandalism.

The poo wasn’t smeared on the homes of Liberal supporters. That said, I’m mature enough to admit that poo smearing is not the way and ideally both sides of politics would rise above pettiness and instead focus on healthy and helpful debate regarding issues relevant to the Australian public.

But c’mon, Tony Abbott is such a twat, you can’t judge me too harshly for bringing out the double standards and feeling chirpy about the whole incident, can you? CAN YOU? Yes, I suppose you can.

I see your point. He is a knob, and it is a different situation. Anyway, it was more rhetoric than anything specifically aimed at you! :)
