Frankly, it's about time Latham admitted he's got a problem with alcohol. Gets pissed and king hits an old bloke. Gets pissed, jumps a cab and assults the driver. We even had Andrew Bartlett (another expert on violent drunkenness) weighing in on the matter. Let's see what else come out in the next few weeks.

A unorchid in the garden. Eating roses.

``Here, unorchid,'' said the man, and he pulled up a lily and gave it to him. The unorchid ate it gravely. With a high heart, beause there was a unorchid in his garden, the man went upstaris and roused his wife again...''

OOoooooh, Tim, that was *coooold*.

Oh no, you're one of them. Look, we don't need another neo-con shlogging his way blissfully unaware of your gross ignorance. "Bush is so good for the country," "Cheney doesn't have a hand in Haliburton anymore," "Rumsfled is a humanitarian," "Ashcroft isn't psychotic," "Ann Coulter is sexy," "I wish I had man nutz to lick." I offer you my man nutz, so that you might lick them.

Sortelli,

Tobias is either stoned or trying to be deep (or both). As he has failed so badly at the latter I certainly hope the former is true. If not then this is just sad.

I've just never seen leftist crapthink so ... so ... incomprehensible.

Hah! Who am I kidding? Send this dude to Margo.

And Latham's lack of the full testicular complement is fair game because...? Oh, that's right, because he voluntarily took it off himself, through some Jackass-type stunt. Unlike Tony Staley, whose bodily disability it was really, really unfair for Latham to make fun of because Staley got that way looking after lepers on Molokai. Right?

Guys, the AGE and SMH are having a 'What you say' (did Margo write the heading again given the caveman grammar).

Go nuts. The left are practically dribbling into their caffe latte's over the alleged 'dirty tricks' campaign. A potent mix of lefty vitriol and finger pointing and quiet disillusionment that Lethal Latho may not be the Bill Clinton of Australian politics.

Back to interpreting Bob Brown policy for the left methinks. Latham's credibility is shot.

I give it two more weeks before Johnny has this election stiched up and won.

"Oh no, [I'm] one of them."

"I've just never seen leftist crapthink so ... so ... incomprehensible."

Sotelli, you obviously don't read much leftist clapthink do you? Almost everything written by the left is, or borders on, the incomprehensible these days.

I cant believe that individuals pathological hatred of Howard can infect so many arguments given by some. Read the AGE posts, he is the devil incarnate,the scarlet pimpernel of politics, the prince machiavelli of manuka lol.

dear Unca Milk. Latham would give you a fair dinkum pizzling if he heard you refer to his 'one nutness' as a 'disability'. i just call it funny y'know cos, y'know, it just is!! it's kinda like calling Mike Moore fat. It's funny because it's true!

I think it was an act of God,
That Latho's only got one cod.
You might think it funny, but
It's no joke to have one nut.
You might grow up short or tall,
But you'll still get named "Old Oddball".
It's much worse than getting colic,
Having to rely on just one bollock.
Gough may be his foremost backer,
But even he calls him "Nacker Lacker".

Guys, the AGE and SMH are having a 'What you say'

YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME

Sotelli, you obviously don't read much leftist clapthink do you?

Admittedly, I do tend to shy away from the "heavy" stuff, the kind of garbage that the "sensible" liberal-left claims is a radical fringe while they're standing in line to see F911.

But even held to the gold standard of IXLNXS, Tobias comes off as especially nonsensical. What were the subjects of his first two lines? The world may never know, all I can tell is that he really wants his nuts licked, because he's not getting enough attention from the Berkley crowd.

"All gloves are off". No, it's either "all bets are off", or "the gloves are off". Is there a name for this particular error - conflating two idiomatic or colloquial expressions? Australian journalists do it all the time. It's not quite a malapropism, as beloved of Kath and Kim.

Latham is a "bully" in the old sense of the word. He is happy to stomp around abusing everyone on the other side yet moved to tears when the inevitable retaliation occurs.

He worries about his wife and children, well I worry about my country's relations with the US President. He has had his say. Former colleagues say bad things about him? This is relevant as not many of us know how he administers and we need to know.

His ex-wife hates him? Get over it! What ex-wife doesn't hate her ex-husband, even if we do nothing at all wrong, the minute we get remarried we are bastards.

When is he going to tell us what he actually stands for. All we get is silence and micro policies. We don't need the classic answer to criticism that he has trotted out which is to attempt to redirect attention to the Liberal conspiracy. Gee.. didn't Adolph use that line?

Surely she means the gloves are on, not off?

It makes me feel really sad,
To think about the One 'Nad Lad;
Pocket billiards just can't be done,
When the balls you've got number one.

Hi Tim

Your friendly plumber from the GDU reporting in again, to dish the latest dirt on Whacko Lacko. With the DVD of "Mark's Big Night Out, 1993" about to hit the streets ($20 + postage and handling, available at quality outlets everywhere), our next strategy is for Gabrielle to star in Big Brother. I can see a possible love interest developing here with Tony Abbott, which should just about drive Mark over the edge with jealousy! Fiendish, huh?

Stay tuned for more.......

haiku for Mark. the politician winters hand in pocket lonely testicle sorrow

Imagine just how large the bill,
To remove his diseased pill;
After this, Mark is aware,
Of the need to fund Medicare.

He may now need a penis pump,
To make up for his missing lump,
So get out there and vote and vote,
In sympathy for his half-empty scrote.

The only good thing I have to say about Marvellous Mark is that he's shown guts in the past. Beating testicular cancer took courage and fortitude.

Of course, that's not the only thing he went around beating... cab drivers for example...

Being a party hack, a bully, and a thug does not mean he wouldn't make a good Prime Minister. Plenty of sleazebags have in the past, though as Paul Keating showed, leaving a trail of slime everywhere you go doesn't neccessarily make you a good PM either.

Give him at least one term as leader of the Opposition, and if he makes a good job of it, I might consider voting for him. Otherwise... no.

Hmmm. Okay then. I've reconsidered, after re-reading some of the things that Slaythem himself said when he started the slagwar.

Just no one start whistling Colonel Bogey.

Wasn't it the codless wonder himself that claimed a politicians personal life was a matter for public scrutiny. He certainly believed that when the labor party lead a malicious attack on the South Australian polly who took her boyfriend overseas at tax payers expense.

The labor party lead a filthy smear campaign against her and questioned all aspects of her personal life, including her sexuallity, yet I never once saw One Nut ask for his party members to stop.

Now Latham reckons it all should stop. Here's a statement Latham made to the Bulletin in 2002, "Look, the idea that politics can be too rough and too personal is a bit rich", he also said in the same interview "We are a nation that is willing to call a spade a spade and if need be to pick up the spade and whack someone over the head with it". Well Sook Daddy Latho, you just got whacked with the spade..

What a pathetic joke Latham is. He repeatedly dishes it out but when it comes back he cries like a baby and tells more lies to get sympathy. He claimed that his family were targeted yet it has been proven to be just another Latham lie, no-one targeted his kin, maybe his chin but not his kin.

I always said his wife would unleash dirt on him the closer the election got and it seems she has more in store. I can't wait.

Glen Milne last night on Lateline made no apologies for any dirt Latham was receiving and hinted he would unleash more, hehehehehe. Is it christmas? I'm loving it....

What worries me is that thousands of men suffering from testicular cancer , will now refuse to have the cancerous nut removed.
Because they dont want to end to be up a arsehole like Mark Latham.
They shouldn't worry, because he was a arsehole long before they cut his bollock off..

Habib - Ohmygawd, that was tha' funyst fing I heard this century!!!!

(Rocky from "Pizza")

The leader of the opposition was going to have an arsehole transplant, but the arsehole rejected him.

I wonder how the poor cancer felt when it learned that it had contracted Mark Latham.
