Andrew Bolt is dining out big time on his stouch with the PM. Frankly it was stupid politics on the side of a PM to personally name a journalist especially one as cunning and conniving as Bolt who will exploit his notoriety to the max. If there is one thing a Murdoch journo understands it is that the government is essentially untrustworthy, a Labor one infinitely more so and the Prime Minister is essentially the bullseye in the game of nailing the anti-free enterprise socialists. It’s a stupid game. One thing is certain, Bolt will keep it up for as long as it drives readers his way. Andrew Bolt is outrageous!
Meanwhile slightly less outrageous is the rumour that one Liberal Party politician labelled another Lib a “fruit loop”. Oh dear, how shocking! The only problem with Chris Pyne’s denial is that the term has his cultural fingerprints all over it, I mean who else but the sweet adorable Christopher Pyne would use the term “fruit loop”? Huh?
But the big news story strangely missing on the front pages of Murdoch’s little Perth Now and the other beacon of truth over in WA, the West Australian is the the story of Peter Abetz. Now there’s a juicy bit of outrage.

The problem is it’s hard to get motivated this morning to give a rat’s arse about any of this. Bolt and others like him are a law unto themselves, the Libs aren’t the real opposition anyway so who gives a toss what they say about each other and the lack of censure over Peter Abetz sums up the real state of play. History is so easily forgotten, who was it that said those that fail to learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat its mistakes? Abetz is outrageous, but the lack of media interest in his invocation of Nazi history to justify increased police powers is even more outrageous. But outrage only goes so far…
