I wonder how many Abbott supporters know he voted Labor.

Suggest you add Michael Smith - this guy is on the edge and makes Bolt look like a saint. Try Kangaroo Court as well the nut job of all time.

As for slack morals I recall Mungo MacCallum once did a number on John Howard’s early years as a backbencher and his late night antics at drink parties in Parliament House Offices and various Canberra watering holes

Dolt has never let facts get in the way of a good smear. What about his attempt to compare the return of the Sri Lankans who committed piracy to get to Australia with Abbott’s policy of towing asylum seeker boats back to Indonesia

This all reminds me of the campaign against the Carbon Tax. Years of belly aching, tearing of clothes, gnashing of teeth, the imminent demise of Gillard, the approaching storm, the people marching in the street. Then, what?

The opposition truly believes that theater is reality.

Christopher - we gave America “Murdoch syndrome”.

We used to be able to say, “Only in America” when it came to fantastical stories that defied plausibility or likelihood. This disease has been relentlessly exported to us as part of the increasing cultural connection between our two countries. Andrew Bolt personifies the fruitcake end of media commentary, which like its original US version, has become mainstream. They and he strut and fret upon the media stage as living examples of Goebbal’s dictam that if you repeat a lie often enough with sufficient sincerity, it will stick.

Don’t worry drmick, people are coming to the realisation that Andrew’s columns and blogs are redundant. Since everyone knows exactly what he’ll say on any topic, there’s no point in wasting time reading or watching anything he says. He’s so predictable, I could write his columns! (As a matter of fact I do. It’s a little known fact that I am actually Andrew Bolt!)

Love your work Mark. Thank goodness someone is calling Bolt to account. Please keep it up!!!

The Australian Right is heading the way of the American right. Locked somewhere between very twisted facts and complete fantasy (closer to the latter).

They are both mad as cut snakes and It is appropriate that they duke it out. Someone needs to bring blot to account.

He is as un-australian as it gets. He is gutless, hides from any real scrutiny and is incapable of telling the truth. He hates and mistrusts his fellow man and has never helped when it was possible to hurt. He is morally bereft and uses our own laws against us regarding “free Speech”.
No society needs rubbish like him or his friends. He is an example of just the type of immigrant we do not need. Has he ever done anything positive to help anyone other than himself? He is the type that avoids paying taxes and then complains about the taxpayer funded police, health and education. Like his friends he is free to leave any time he likes.

Please Edward, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Let’s not go mistaking “Toady Abbott’s Knot (of toads)” for “good government”?

Blot has more in common with Beck - devotion of resources with which to bray and spread his unbalanced conservative message - and by Murdoch’s Limited/FUX News too.

By: klewso

“Blot/Murdoch giving his doubters the same Right of reply to his prejudiced PR & vilification campaigns.” And a devotion of similar resources to publicise, grandstand on?
That would be novel - not least after all this time.

‘… Australia’s answer to Donald Trump…’

No way, The Donald is a natural performer whereas AB is always trying too hard. Mind you, he’s not past demanding the PM’s naturalisation certificate.

I eagerly await him breaking the ‘big story’ - with the right timing it will qualify as the Christmas miracle.

SusieQ Bolt is exposed to the same defamation laws as you or I am, just like Latham. If they are defaming people or using injurious language the aggrieved parties are entitled to hold them to account. My point is “rusted on political supporters” have no room to move when shown the inconvenient truth. Mostly “ghost posters” just keep sprouting the same old political garbage. Edward James

Not sure what your point is edward james, bolt should be held too account.

Most people who are able to post a comment on a Crikey string from time to time are able to think for themselves. Any expectation of balance is certainly adversely affected by the rusted on political nature of certain people Labor and Liberal! Right now my position is Labor from the top to bottom is just no dam good ! Mark Latham may be a clever wordsmith attracting attention to Crikey, but the fact remains he is a Labor quitter!
