Bring back Siimon Crean.He rocked.

Hasn't taken long for the Labor Luvvies to start sinking the slipper into Latham.

The Luvvies are either at your feet or at your throat.

Mind you, Latham can give as good as he gets, if this quote is any guide:

Phillip Adams and Piers Akerman, (are) two of Australia's best-known newspaper columnists. They claim to be poles apart politically, articulating different values and beliefs. In practice, however, they are two sides of the same coin. Both are political insiders, part of the media elite, living in the affluent inner-Sydney enclave of Paddington. They have little experience of suburban life and suburban values. Both practise a symbolic and abstract style of politics, based on the concentration of power and the preservation of the ruling elite.

Sounds like Adams is getting some post-emptive revenge.

It's was funny to see thugboy Latham, on the Sunday program, desparately trying to create a lie about what John Howard 'really' promised. To quote "...the expectation that no-one will be hurt by interest rate rises in the future".
It's time he gre up a bit and realised that he's nowhere near as smart as he believes he is.

anti-Iraq war film "Fahrenheit 9/11" sparked a firestorm of controversy before becoming a post-election footnote

Ahh, I'll never get tired of reading that, I think. Could they give Mike another Oscar so that his leaden touch continues to infect as much of Hollywood as possible?

What kind of tosser uses an expression like "twelvemonth"?

Hollywood "overbearing personalities, poor career choices and chronic inability to stop making fools of themselves"

How'd they limit the list to 50?

Does this mean Moor's temp has dropped to Fahrenheit 9.11 or so?

The report also said: Moore qualified because of what the editors saw as an oversized ego. "Message to Michael: Remember, it's not always about you. Lose the chip on your shoulder," the editors said.

Hmm, looks like he could also lose the chips on his plate as well.

I actually thought that the Philip Adams column was his most readable for a very long time. For the first time in about 9 years I did not start swearing at the paper and I got through to the end of the article.

See Philip, it's amazing what happens when you let go of the hate and have a stab at reasoned logic.

Just went to the website that published the list and discovered they have Pres. Bush listed as no. 43.

Link here:

Frigid 50

I find Bush's inclusion very odd because the list is supposed to list the coldest people in Hollywood. Did I miss some major announcement? Is Pres. Bush now considered to be in Hollywood?

I'm glad to see Michael Moore at no. 1, even though the list creator(s) seems to have Hollywood mixed up with politics. After the Clinton years, and with the Kerry campaign this year, mixing the two is understandable.

(If you're on a dial-up I would NOT go to that site. I'm on a cable and the pages load like molasses.)

And don't miss you chance to vote for MM in Dilbert's Weasel Poll 2004

Thanks for the heads-up, harold beagle. Nice poll BUT tough choices. Moore is listed in the same category as Dan Rather! Hard to decide who is the biggest weasel between those two.

Is Pres. Bush now considered to be in Hollywood?

Maybe they confused President Bush with President Bartlet.

Well, IN Hollywood he's as cold as ice. No big changes there. Outside Hollywood he seems to have done a bit better. But then, what sort of life IS there outside Hollywood, I ask you?

Can you imagine how cold it would have to be to freeze Michael Moore? All that blubber provides all that insulation.

I think that the Pres. Bush rating was kind of a ritualistic left wing bash to show that the website was not one of those "Jesusland conservitive types" (along with the Mel Gibson dig). The actual comment was a bit rote, in my opinion.

See Philip, it's amazing what happens when you let go of the hate and have a stab at reasoned logic.

You flatter him, Pauly. Surely you would have realised by now that Phat Phil has no mind of his own. He is like Woody Allen's Zelig, an intellectual stem cell that simply copies whatever it was last adjacent to. All this article proves is that he had a leftie on his program who admitted that Doc Latham was a pig-headed egotistical liability of Whitlamesque proportions. If his producers could endure having more conservatives on his program, Phat Phil would have had the honour of telling us what we already knew months before the last election.
