    Scary, dog. But only a cartoon, thankfully …
    And why, every time I hear the Poodle crow across the chamber (do poodles crow?) am I reminded of Monty Python’s The Spanish Inquisition sketch … ‘the cooommmfy chaaaaiiir’ …

    Frame #4 – so that’s where the $70bn comes from.

    The Rabbott Chariot should be pulled by the country’s political churnalists – they’ve got him halfway there already. Or is this prescience by Mr Dog and they’re all unemployed political churnalsits? Now there’s a crumb of comfort.

    And this I presume is a lesson for all the egos in Canberra. A sliding door from complete political disaster had Abbott suffered Rudd’s scorched earth policy to leadership. I love the botoxed lips and floppy ears BTW!

    Frame 3 was a little bit too close to the truth to be funny….

    Aaah Mr Mutt,

    I see that you too have succumbed to this climate of prognostication – this rapturous contagion of second sight sweeping through the Press Gallery… but your canine vision of the future looks far too spot on for my liking.

    Can Barnaby be the chariot overseer today? Not unemployed any more are they?
    Actually where is Barnaby in your over-the-horizon Abbottopia?

    Hey, ‘Nauts, did anyone see that count* Uhlmann interviewing Shortend last night ?
    If Bill had the chance to finish a sentence before the Big U talked over the top of him, I’m damned if I spotted dick. I’m not a torch bearer for Bill, but he showed exemplary patience with the U-pr1ck. Maybe he arranged for an off-camera slapfest.

    * remove your vowel of choice

    Well spotted MJ, Cunning linguist that you are. I hope that they beat up on a few of these reporter buffoons now and do a Hawkey or a Keating on them. Nothing to lose and plenty respect to gain.
