don't give up your day job

Or maybe, please do. 

What a crack up. 

And how's this for Freudian slips.  Says Jackie Kelly:

"I think its intent is to be a send-up but obviously it hasn't worked," she told ABC radio.

"I think if you read it you'd be laughing. Most people who have read it have said 'That's a Chaser-style of prank'."

Well the pamphlet was only funny in that it was so juvenile - not to mention gutless.  Not scared to print the ALP logo. Too scared to print Allah Akhbar or even Allahu Akhbar, which is precisely why her husband looked like this when caught distributing the pamphlet:

Like all good appeasers, he was just showing his respect for Muslims by trying to cover his head.

Ms Kelly said the "prank" was "really immature stuff" that would not influence any voters.

I dunno honey child.  You married him.  Says a bit about your judgment.  And that of all who used to sing your praises.

She Kelly denied the pamphlets were printed in her office and said she didn't know who funded or authorised the printing.

Asked if she could guarantee no funds came from her office or the Liberal Party, she replied: "Yeah, yeah, absolutely."

"Everyone has got home printers and what not. You can do up dodgy flyers how you like. Anyone could have, even the goon squad following," she said.

That just told you who printed them and where didn't it? And you reckon cops can't check if it was your little deskjet?

Ms Kelly said she was "upset" with her husband.

"I'm a bit upset with him, but no, look I love him," she said.

And here, no doubt, is why:

"He hates the unions with a passion and after weeks and weeks of letterboxing, what gets to be boring material, of a repetitive message that we get them to letterbox all the time, they come up with their own skylarking over a few beers and think that something's funny."

Poor little poodle. Wets his pants at his party's own fear campaign.  And not only does he read junk mail, he can't find the waste bin. 

This man drills holes in people's teeth. No doubt, the drill slipped a bit once and drilled a hole in his brain.   Why else would an airhead like Kelly love the dear?

Update: Mr Howard can't dig fast enough:

"I hope we live in a society where husbands and wives... we treat them as individuals,'' he said.

"... Because her husband has done a foolish thing that should not be visited up her.''

She tried to excuse it and even blame others for planting the material. Until darling hubby 'fessed up.  And of course the errors of a husband cannot be visited upon a wife, but the errors of a wife, or more to the point, a wife's company can be visited upon a husband, even if corrected and especially if he happens to be a member of the Opposition.

And that sums up the absurdity of post-modern politics and spin in Australia.

Update: The evening news are leading with this item and labelling the pamphlet as "racist". No, it was fradulent and stupid, particularly as it came from such experienced political players. Even more stupid given Kelly's attempted defense. It used some Muslims (or perhaps the opinions of some Muslims, given the reference to our Catmeat Sheik) as a political football, but racist it was not. Islam is not a race.  And from what I can ascertain at this point, the tip-off came from a Liberal Party insider.
