I’ll bet Jasper’s secreting in all sorts of ways and places. Masterly secretions, of course.
Let me just say this……The Dog Is BACK!!!!
Good to see you’ve finally landed and have fully recovered from the jetlag FD.
Meanwhile, keep nipping at the heels of Mr Cow and come out fighting in full election mode on Monday.
I once secreted something into Laurie Oakes’ ear. He loved it.
Jasper: “What does that have to do with anything?”
Exactly. In politics the drug of power overrides any rules of propriety.
Mr Onthemoon, Laurie The Sphere has never looked so spiffy/spivvy, who’s his milliner?
“This isn’t about politics. It’s about justice, decency, revenge.” ROFL.
I wish we could write in names on our ballots. I’d totally draft First Dog for my local member of parliament. He’d be way better than Michael Danby - and funnier.
Deeply off the record, you nailed the phrase of the day Firsty.
btw FD.
I’d be *very* careful next time you’re in Canberra and run into Latika.
I’m not sure she’s going to be too impressed about being portrayed as Laurie Oakes.
Oh Laurie, where did you get that hat, where did you get that hat? It is sooooo you baby!!!!!!!!!!
FD, another masterpiece! I’m glad we haven’t seen the last of Jasper… oh, the cruelty of his being forced out of The Lodge! Such a well-loved character - we were so pleased when he saw John Howard off the premises…
So do you think Jasper still has an important part to play in a re-elected Labor Government?
I also note that he has reverted to his original colour - is this Meaningful? Or is it just the lighting in this film noir piece?
FD, I’d like to apologise.
I accidentally read the comments first.
Promise not to do that in future.
I was imagining FD might run for the senate. Tough choice - running with the Fox or the Hounds……

This column can now reveal the full goings on of the Rudd/Gillard cage match.
Our sources, childrens ‘entertainer’ and author Smokin’ Rhys Muldoon and ABC heavyweight Big Ted, were hiding under the PM’s desk during the whole affair.
Apparently Rudd offered a deal where he would stay PM and every one else could “go eff themselves”, which Gillard initially accepted. But after adjourning to the Parliamentary bar with trusted confidante First Dog On The Moon, Gillard returned and stated “I’ll put you in a f*cking rose garden you c*unt. You understand that? Because I’m capable of it.”
Rudd understood.
EMC,
Heh heh. This version sounds more realistic than Oakes’. Is there any chance Mr Squiggle and Miss Pat were listening in an ante-room?
Be careful, EMC, Murdoch may make you an offer.
Pussy, you’re a national living treasure.
And don’t you f*cking forget it!
That’s the only funny thing I’ve read or seen today.
It’s going to be a long, painful road to the 21st.
Thank God for bad poet’s pussies, primary canines and dance bandicoots for Jesus.
Mucho ta, Zut and Paddy.
Speculation is mounting as to who will be the first to speculate on the timing of the first gaffe.
Paddy,
Did you watch the ABC News tonight? If not you missed the second big laugh of the day ie: the senior political reporter, Mark Simkin, asked PM Gillard if she would promise not to break her election promises.
???!!!
Would you call that double indemnity?
Zut, I promised myself a treat for enduring the awful “dueling leaders” speeches today.
So I was busily quaffing a large dose of Chardonnay at the local haute cuisine, while the ABFrigginC was doing it’s thing this evening. Shame on me!!
Therefore, I promise to be good for the rest of the campaign and only drink alcohol when absolutely necessary.
Lord have mercy on my liver!!!
“the sphere” - excellent nickname (codeword, excuse me) for laurie. he is know as “12” in our household…L is the 12th letter in the alphabet and L stands for Large….another good toon…your mission, FD, if you are prepared to accept it is not to cover the election over the next 5 weeks, a break from all that crap would be very nice indeed!
