Things I learned today from Andrew Bolt

Thursday, 16 October, 2008 by Tobias Ziegler

  • Last November, the war in Iraq had been won (for a short time, anyway). Now, Iraq only “seems won”. Also, we (i.e., Australia, the United States, NATO, etc.) need an ever-expanding military so that we can “send lots more troops” to all of the places we are fighting wars.
  • Teh Left is stupid. Also, the smartest guy in the room always ends up being the minutes secretary (perhaps so that he’ll be too busy writing to provide his uber-intelligent ideas to the group).
  • Black people get angry.
  • Greed is good. Unless you’re a poor person – then you should just accept your lot in life. Just like those black people.
  • The Conservative Party’s failure to attain the majority it had hoped for from Canada’s early election is a triumph for its attack on carbon taxes. In Australia, the Liberal Party should apply the same not-entirely-successful strategy.

    What a shame I don’t read him anymore.

    I used to love it when he told the Liberal Party what to do.

    He’s still doing it. I would like to see a Liberal leader adopt a platform of doing exactly what Andrew Bolt says – then we could get an empirical demonstration of his stupidity.

    The conservatives snuck through in Canada because of the old “better stay with we know during hard times” fallacy.

    Bolt’s a cunt.

    It’s a good time to be an incumbent – assuming you’re not completely on the nose (Bush). I find myself wondering how things would have gone if the Australian election had been one year later – I hope Howard would still have been finished, but I’m not absolutely certain.

    If J-Ho was still here i bet he would use the financial crisis to beef up workchoices and abandon any climate change policies

    No doubt – something along the lines of “It is important in these challenging times that we ensure the economic prosperity of small business owners is not compromised by our principles.”
