The rest of us can't get enough of Guy who compared to the usual mainstream drivel is highly entertaining, and somewhat addictive. Keep it up Guy.
JamesK Tuesday, 13 May 2008 8:42:22 AM: Row, our American cousins might call it "lame" or "highfalutin'" but "brilliant" it ain't! I'm "with" Peter!
Row Monday, 12 May 2008 10:49:51 PM: Peter, what are you talking about?? Guys long rambling posts are brilliant. I wish he wrote more.
Venise Alstergren Monday, 12 May 2008 7:10:54 PM: Peter: Guy Rundle has got verbal diarrhoea (sorry my spell checker says this is spelled wrong but doesn't tell me how to do it). When he is not writing these long articles for Crikey and The Age. Also he writes letters about Israel. He is just hopelessly addicted to words.
Granleese Monday, 12 May 2008 6:55:22 PM: Fauxhemian. Love it. Not entirely original, but very appropriate. Three cheers for another great dispatch!
Peter Monday, 12 May 2008 4:42:07 PM: God I wish Rundle would say what he has to say and then shut up. Isn't there some way of editing this nonsense so we can get the essence of his "message" without nodding off.
Roger Monday, 12 May 2008 2:42:26 PM: Met a American lady at breakfast in Vietnam and I asked her when is this primary business going to stop. She replied she was sick of it too. I asked the obvious question, "who will win between Clinton an Obama" Her reply was she was going to vote for Obama because she is sick and tired of dynasties, both Bush and Clinton. Do the rest feel that way too?
