Gillard ...Swanny, together, they will de-seed the planet.
Other than Mark Latham, who I didn't mind actually and even bought his diary's, not one labor member appeals to me.
Bob was a babbling drunk with a red nose, (Sorry Bob), Keating was too creepy to be a politician, ....was a bit of a ladys man if I recall and liked to cross-dress also.
Bill Shortons head is disproportionally large in comparison to the rest of his body, Hydrocephalus? Latham was a funny bugger and sharp as a tack at times too, but was too much of a black sheep and pessimist, (I think Gillard slowly poisoned him) and was a bit paranoid and dark towards the end, (It's labor, who wouldn't be).
I did enjoy Marks writing though, really liked it actually,and Kim Beazley, well, he was just a jumping castle with an attitude, big loud union mouth who in typical union form used his physical presence to grand stand...plus he was a bit slow I think. Perhaps the fat had mobilised and travelled to his brain, hard to tell. And Kevin, well....a smug media slut with an abrasive personality is always a treasure, reminded of one of those ventriloquist puppets at carnivals, the way he'd purse his lips and electronically speak was kinda creepy.
A terrible public speaker,(very embarrassing) and I was especially repulsed by the earwax parliamentary appetiser.
His speeches sounded too cocky, smug and rehearsed.
Gillard, well, I don't mind her brain, and she puts up a good debate in question time...Imagine her and Costello leading the Liberal party, this or starting a family of their own one day, party I mean..she could be that woman who brings glasses of water around during question time...

Why do they drink so much water?
Or is that just to create the illusion that they're working hard, so must need one?
I don't think Julia is as left as she would have you believe, this or as loyal either

In all, Labor don't have much of a run-up, the best they have is Gillard, but due to their notoriously "mysogenous" parties under-current, the one the public don't get to see until attending their first union brawl, I doubt her stay will be a long and pleasant one.
Abbott is likeable, the same way John Howard was,(though needs guidance)...which fortunately for him, he has.
And like Howard when he first started, Abbott had that shoot from the hip non-polished integrity...which is important for a politician I think.
Or else like Rudd they start sounding mechanical, inhuman.
Cossy, he's a classic, very intelligent, he had me in fits of laughter when watching question time with Howard at his side, he just had a way of making the labor candidates look like morons,(not hard).. was like they weren't even there when he'd get going.
Remember Vanstone Amanda I think she's an ambassador for Italy now inst she?
Whenever I see Gillard, I cant help but think of Clarice Starling from out of Silence of the lambs (Jodie Foster)...I dunno why....Odd!
Perhaps it's her desire to prove herself, her young age (compared to other leaders), in a male dominated profession, and her clumsy erroneous mistakes she makes along the way whilst learning the ropes , this and somehow manages to land on her feet.
Wayne Swan? I thought he'd passed away until recently, where was he for all those years? Did he do time, something about bribing the democrats involving the Australian Federal Police?
Fantastic treasurer there Gillard.

I think Gillards their last green skin, (no offence to the Greens party)...what I mean by this is she's quite possibly the only labor candidate without a murky past or criminal record.
Night, thanx for putting up with my rant.
