Someone else thinks William Deane is a wanker too

A superb piece in today's Australian by Channel 7 political reporter Glenn Milne.

In parts of the media, Deane is regularly described as Australia's most popular and well-respected governor-general. Says who? This has almost been a case of ascension by assertion. Where are the polls to back this claim?

And there's one thing that appears to have escaped those who assert this: While Deane was propagating his particular views on multiculturalism and reconciliation, the Australian public was busy re-electing a Prime Minister who refused to say sorry. The same public also endorsed the Prime Minister's ugly treatment of illegal migrants. Did anybody ask them what they thought of Deane? Apparently not.

Naturally, some weenies in the online feedback section on the footer of the page are upset by Milne's heresy:

Surely the job of the non-political leader of the country is to provide moral leadership, not be a cipher. Shouldn't he be there to guide us through the lies and obfuscations that have become the norm in political life?

No stupid, we prefer to elect people to speak for us.

Why have him, if his role is to be a clone of the current government?

Somebody get this twit a copy of the constitution.

One thing is for sure: Milne makes a welcome alternative to the drones on the ABC, or worse still the wretched Channel 10 political retard Paul Bongiorno, who described the Woomera detention facility as "looking like Auschwitz".

Winning the War on Terror

Remarkable article in FrontPage today.

But dammit, the W.O.T. was supposed to be a big failure wasn't it?

And while you're there, read the article on Amnesty International too.
