Cassowaries Rant

Latham has a blog

The good thing about blogs is that you can express yourself however you want. One particular gentleman, for instance, chooses to express himself thus:

Fuck! They make me out to be some sort of touchy-feely wuss, or something.

What I meant by unfortunate was that Bartlett’s attack was piss-weak. Me? I would’ve decked the old cow.

and:

It has come to my attention that many of the bonzer people of this pearler of a country think I have some kind of anal fixation. Well, that’s crap, and I’ll be working my bum off to prove it!

…

But there was a difference. See, Howard grovelled totally, but I just reaffirmed our ties with that nation while retaining the right to disagree.

This is all well and good and totally up to him. And if it were just anyone, I wouldn’t care less and wouldn’t be commenting here. But it isn’t just anyone, it’s Mark Latham, Leader of the Opposition.

He’s aiming at a very particular demographic. I am not in this particular demographic. I don’t think I know anyone that is. For his sake, I hope than a large amount of the few million people I don’t know are, because his party has certainly lost my preferences.
