We all knew she was the ‘deus et machina’ of the Howard Government. However, Walter, Bernard, Greg? she was too, itsy bitsy, tweetie tweetie, teeny weeny, much of a moo cow to come out with the sort of language that her husband used so grossly. Nice try!

I do not subscribe to Crikey for this sort of witless article.

Unreadable, hence not amusing.

PS: I don’t think it was Walter, the article was devoid of humour. I was even thinking Mungo McCallum but he has a lot of humour. Bernard has humour, but it’s very dry. The syntax is the worry. It could even be a woman. However, Bernard is such a prolific writer, therefore I’m going for him as author. Could it be Jonathan?

Sort of has a ring of credibility to it.

Hilarious comments from the ex-PM behind the ex-PM

I laughed. Thought it must have been lifted from an ALP cabinet minute. Funny to think of Mrs B talking like that.

As far as the show tonight goes:

Will the Howard Years episode one deal with a story that 4 Corners was too scared to cover - Jabiluka Uranium mine beaten by the traditional owners, national green groups and NT progressives? This was 1996 to 1999 but in particular mid 98. This set the scene for the Shane Stone Country Liberal Party being beaten in the Statehood referendum and then losing the govt to Clair Martin's ALP. But it all started with the Jabiluka campaign and blockade in our humble view.

The first comic article I’ve laughed at in a long while. Thank you Mrs Howard.

When my wife read this she was convinced that Janette was really a very nasty person using language like that.
