    I am an old codger and perhaps I havent kept up with young folks jokes (or their silly music or their ugly clothes) but FDOTM is the best for a long long time. Hotter than a two dollar pistol as they say.

    Having said that, it is a touch unfair to say B Nelson is a total failure. I dont like him, and I dont vote for his rebarbative party, but at least he had the courage to have a go. And he may well make it big (relatively speaking) as a singing ant.

    Oh… my bet is that Hockey will eventually make leader, and that he is the best chance the libs have of getting a prime minister for a long time. True he does resemble yeast in some lights but nobody is perfect.

    During the 2007 election I used to call Joe Hickey “Humpty Dumpty’, not because of his shape but because he often used the cliché that you can’t unscramble eggs. It’s also alliterative of course. I also admired the way he sweated under the lights at the National Tallyroom on election night. He looked like he was set to explode, literally. You can catch it on “The Poll that Counts” on ‘laborview’ YouTube videos.

    As Bernard Keane observed yesterday, Joe does like an egg metaphor, anyway. it was good old perspiration on his face in 2007, not egg.

    Dear Mr OntheMoon
    Please do not allow Brendan Nelson’s hair to follow the good doctor into retirement. I have been looking forward to seeing him in concert with Ray Martin’s hair one day.
