Channel Seven revealed tonight that the son Tony Abbott was recently reunited with is actually the child of another man. Pwhwoaar… what about that twist!?
I have no idea what to say about this, I really don’t. Except… maybe… lucky Daniel? I mean, really - if you were in Daniel O’Connor’s position and you found out your natural father was Tony Abbott, you’d start praying for a miracle, stat. Imagine your shock when it actually occurs!
I know - I’m going to hell. But on the bright side, are we all allowed to go back to having abortions for a lark now? You know, since The World’s Most Perfect Adoption Story Which Proved Abortion Is Naughty Though Hey, Back Off And Don’t Treat This Like A Political Football fairytale has sort of fallen apart? Cough.
Posted by Jess at March 21, 2005 07:50 PMJess, you have been on fire for the last coupla days. Well done.
I read an interview with KD where she said that she’d wanted to tell her son, should she find him, that his Dad was the prime minister. Might have fogged the memory a little.

The whole “he’s a cad who abandoned the mother of his child” tale has also fallen apart, but I doubt there will be many retractions from those who effectively said he should have had a shotgun wedding. And the comment about DNA testing is a bit disingenuous- are you trying to draw attention to the fact that he wasn’t given the whole truth for 27 years?
He’s a scrote, but his detractors have scored plenty of own-goals over this one.

I appreciate that you’ve made this point across the blogosphere but I’m a little confused.
a) I made no comment on DNA… did I? b) I don’t recall making cad comments (but I don’t remember last week clearly so…) c) Shotgun wedding? Nup, still can’t recall suggesting it. c) Own goals? Who, exactly?
Yours in confusion,
Jess

These questions are being asked in a delightful lighthearted manner, I might add!

Tony Abbott is the best damn politician in this country. I consider him a wonderful and beautiful person, who in a better world, would excel to the highest offices of this land. But you heathen scum prefer to mock this enlightened, magnificent man with scorn and ham-fisted foolery. I spit on thee!
I love Tony Abbott.

hang on - satan - i thought you were supposed to be on our side…? you know, the special circle of hell reserved for people who have a pathological inability to feel sympathy for tony abbott..? and if you love tony abbott, then who’s the bearded guy handing out beers in the “we hate tony” club…?

I choked on my beer when Tony said that he and Kathy are “still good friends”, I mean, she made him look like such a gullible ass. Is there no end to Abbott’s insincerity?

I reckon its all pretty Zen really - Abbott’s just getting what is coming his way after the shameless way he manipulated this whole story.
BTW - I’m amazed by Kathy Donnelly’s story - I’ve had sex a number of times myself, and I cant recall it ever being quite as accidental as she makes it sound and I’m pretty sure that it needed the active participation of both parties.
Makes me wonder about the true nature of her relationship with the Monk

Yeah - there are a few karmic overtones to this whole thing aren’t there. Maybe Tony Abbott will now become the Mad Buddhist Monk. Then he can study the Noble Eightfold Path of Commonwealth State funding arrangements.

I just love the detail that Kathy D practiced contraception on her one night stand with a fellow housemate (true in this case) but didn’t with Tony, and guess which one produced the sprog?
Now I know I am REALLY going to hell for this remark, but if I was Tony I’d get his other kids DNA tested.
Just occasionally I am tempted by anonymity.

Who the fuck saw that coming eh? (Jesus I feel all Canadian all of a sudden)
Seems Abbott should have done some DNA testing before throwing some poor guy into the limelight for his own political gain.
One would suspect Kathy Donnelly had an inkling…
It’s all very Ricki Lake.. with the DNA testing.
Can you imagine the phone call between Abbott and Kathy?
if they’d gone more for the jerry springer angle there’d at least be midgets involved. maybe tony abbott is the illegitimate father of a member of the midget klan. love that midget klan.
I saw Tony Abbott on the television just now and I almost felt compassion for him.
I feel dirty…
