Richardson seems to not have noticed that the major problem that the ALP has, is the stench coming out of the ‘Richardson wing’, or as it is more commonly known the NSW Right. An endless parade, in the national media, of its members going to and from court. Its members tramping around TV studios, agreeing with the likes of Andrew Bolt and Carl Stefanovic. Constantly fanning the flames of leadership speculation by claiming, for the last couple of years, that the next election was already lost.
Then, after constantly sabotaging Julia’s election chances, Richardson now has the gall to claim, that no, it’s really Julia that’s the problem.
Please, pass me the sickbag.

Richo as the Voice of Experience makes as much sense as Peter Reith offering political pronouncements ie: none.

Instead of joining this confected debate about whether the PM should go let’s start an alternative one about which editor/journo should be the first to resign for publishing piffle.

Richardson as a wise and fair commentator. Now that is worth the newsprint…

Let’s have a think who his paymasters are…

The media is obsessed with gossip. We don’t get any facts nor real information about policies, just pointless chatter, three word slogans, cliches and wild forecasting as useless as Chinese whispers. A proliferation of wanabees trying to influence our thinking by constant but baseless speculation that is no more relevant than astrology or palm reading.

It’s about time that Richardson, Howes et al realised that they are the problem, not the solution.
The only reason that they get their stupid pontificating splashed over the media is so that Labor will be further discredited in people’s minds.

Ah, wilderness, and the wildlife of the Labor party plain, “… here in their natural environment, at their “Deep Pockets” country club, there’s Yabber the Hut, fistin’ by the pool - “Peel me a hawk!” ….”

Oh those sh*tty newspapers they need all this to fill their colunms, the journalists of little or no talent will finally drive newspapers into the ground; theire only a few years away from success. The sooner the better! Can’t remember the last time I bought a newspaper. If it wasn’t for the sports pages newspapers would have ceased long ago.

Gawd help me. It happens once or twice a decade, and it’s come around again. I agree with something Paul troll Sheehan has written.

Secondly, this malarkey, again aired by Richo,that a wipeout would take them 10 years to recover from, is just rubbish. The world has changed, things move faster now, dissatisfaction begins the moment you are crowned. Besides, the likelihood of Abbott’s government not being chaotic are pretty slim. They could just as soon find themselves burnt out in 18 months.

The world has moved on Richo, and pundits. What used to happen cannot be relied on as a gauge to the future any more.

And yes, Richo was in the debacles up to his neck.

The only reason Paul Sheehan want Julia Gillard to stay as PM is because the the coalition is sh+t scared of a Kevin Rudd return. Kevin could just win the “unwinnable” election - not the outcome Sheehan and his Ltd News colleagues require.

Unbelievable that Richo has the gall to even shows his face. The stink wafting out of NSW can be traced to him and his mates. The sordid dealings being revealed through ICAC, the lack of remorse, arrogance, lies and evasions on display by the main protagonists are doing far more damage to Labor than anything else.

Hmm, but if Richo’s ‘talent pool’ is a scum-filled inbred pond of bottom-feeders, what’s the loss?

“Dissertations on the Right Stuff” by A. Journailist?
