Well it wasn’t PCostello who has given the extremely lucky WSwan the surplus to work with. It was thanks to CPC. Communist Party of China that’s making the PC Libs love themselves and their lives. Communists, those subhuman things (like terrorists) that the Libs hated so much they relished in the killing of millions of them in Indonesia, Vietnam, Bali (where no commo’s lived) but 80,000 to 100,000 were slaughtered just for target practice. Those of us who didn’t condone this psychopathic hate of commo’s have the right to kiss commo China’s bum but those others should pay for the privilege. All a bit to intergenerational (like ANZAC day) for the Dr Brendon and other PC friends.

Somewhat difficult to equate those attributes to the Howard/Costello years. Not forgetting the tax cuts that Cossie used as bribes in election years, and not having the ticker to tell Howard to go to hell. As much as Howard became a one man ( one woman Mrs H)band, a dictatorial aged tunnel visioned loser, Cossie even when he saw the damage being done to the Coalition, sat on his hands and smirked his way through the last 3 years of the dictatorship, allowing Howard to sink in his own blind ignorance. There is no point in the Libs staying in denial, complaining about not fair treatment. There ship is rudderless (woops :-) no skipper and no forseeable future. Self destruction at its best.

Take the last paragraph, "as if stunned..." "evidentially congratulating ..." doubtless chuffed"... We pay good money for Crikey. We shouldn't be subject to this garbage.
