To me Fielding is an embarrassment, particularly when he parades before the world as one of our Senators. Clearly he is out of his depth and should move to a clinic to treat his learning problems.

For those of you who are not sure whether Einstein was dyslexic or not:

Re Einstein, there appears to be no proof that he was, there’s a googleanswers question discussing this.

So I’d say in the words of Wiki - [citation required] or it’s an urban legend, one of those invented to make those with dyslexia feel better.

And another typo……Only, not an accidental ‘typo’ but a spelling error.

If Keane has some sort of condition that EFFECTS his ability to read and communicate in English, perhaps he shouldn’t be in a position that is entirely about reading and writing.

I also think there should be some basic standards in public life; good use of the English language is one of them, Mr Keane.

But it’s very boring to nit-pick spelling and grammar, isn’t it?

Bernard - “32 comments on this and 2 on ANZ and people complain ‘slow news day’?”

I think you’ve made a discovery there, about Fielding’s long successful future in the Senate. His will be the most recognized name on the next polling paper, hands down. Only a handful of voters will remember why they recognize the name, the rest will just vote for him.

It’s all about brand recognition, you patsies.

Sorry to go off topic to lighten the mood but did I actually hear Mr Albanese mistake Napoleon Solo from the man from U.N.C.L.E. and Han Solo from Star Wars?

Who was he trying to insult at the time?

Bernard,

Maybe some of those christian principles Feilding subscribes too would ease your judgemental and self righteous justifications.

“…Daniel you are too wicked…”

Too stupid by half actually with less than no clue.

Stick to the collectivist witticisms that have become your stock-in-trade.

We should all be asking why the f*ck ‘Forrest’ Fielding thinks he’s equipped to handle the role of Senator in a House of review. If, as he says “this is the highest level of lawmaking in Australia and the laws that we pass at a federal level impact Australian people significantly ’’ it’s no place for those with self-confessed communication disabilities. All well and good to do the best with what God gave us but Parliaments aren’t shelters for those struggling with IQ-EQ challenges or moral values either. I’d like to believe governments are where the virtuous, gifted and insightful assemble – not those with notions that their magic shoes will take them anywhere.

“…Perhaps it is time Crikey started another of its famous and successful lists. How about “Idiots who have been democratically voted into offices much higher than their abilities, thanks primarily to major parties playing smartypants with their preferences”?…”

Fantastic idea.

I nominate Kevin Rudd.

Hmmm let’s see…add to that:

Wayne Swan
Penny Wong
Peter Garrett
Greg Combet
Belinda Neal
Maxine McKew
Malcolm Turnbull

and of course Bob Brown & Christine Milne

And if we’re including our international comrades: Barack Obama.

This will be a terrific list…thanks for the great idea ‘John’.
