MySpace aren&#8217;t happy with the Libs in Australia because they aren&#8217;t handling their MySpace friends with the respect they deserve. So Little Johnny Fudge Pants extracted his head from GWB&#8217;s arse <em>just<\/em> long enough to place a 1 minute 50 second message on his MySpace. Question being, what kind of a sad sack would you have to be to have Little Johnny as a friend&#8230; not even his party want him anymore!<\/p>\n<p><em>Hey Mr President<\/em> this week got into one of the serious contenders; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imwithfred.com\/\">Fred Thompson<\/a>. Now he may look familiar to you, and not it&#8217;s not from Crime Stoppers &#8211; he&#8217;s an actor. So if he does win the US Presidential election, at least when he lies to us it will look convincing! Fred-boy is the only US candidate with his own theatrical <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000669\/\">IMDB.com<\/a> entry, and apparently a bit of a following. If you look at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hannity.com\/\">this<\/a> site, you&#8217;ll see he&#8217;s a headliner at a rock concert\/ conservative brainwashing drive (not coincidentally sponsored by the impartial Fox News).<br \/>\nAs far as the WBF scoring system goes:<br \/>\n1] How many Social Networking Sites do you appear on &#8211; Fred Thompson = 5<br \/>\n2] How much merchandise &#8211; Fred Thompson = 0<br \/>\n3] How many ringtones &#8211; Fred Thompson = 0<br \/>\nFred is the man&#8230; according to Fred!<\/p>\n<p>Also this week, Pete discovered <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wKsoXHYICqU\">Obama Girl<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-Sudw4ghVe8\">Hot 4 Hill<\/a>, a lipstick lesbian tribute to Hillary Clinton. Now the idea of Hillary may be attractive&#8230; but the reality &#8211; less so!! Another conservative in the White House? Puh-leese!<\/p>\n<p>While the yanks battle it out in their preliminaries, the fight for Australia&#8217;s heart and soul continues &#8211; and the hub; the <em>Battle for Bennelong<\/em>. Newspoll delivered a bit of a blow to Little Johnny and his Junta, with only a 39% approval rating in our most populace state New South Wales. In fact Malcolm Turd-bill, arch nemesis to all good thinking Australians my lose his seat by a 20% swing. All this and a Costello leadership challenge just out from the election being announced. Sad thing is, no one likes Costello either. Maybe the revolution has started&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Peaches<\/em> the week saw Big Bob trying to stop a telemovie being made about his ex-wife Paula Yates. It&#8217;s all a bit embarrassing really, especially when people start drawing parallels with his daughter Peaches. But Bob&#8217;s a smart cookie &#8211; he&#8217;s sent his money overseas. Now you may think; &#8220;so what?&#8221;. Well to tell you how much it is &#8211; he&#8217;s saving 1 billion pounds in death tax. Oh Peaches, when he croaks you won&#8217;t have to import parts of Bolivia, you can have it dragged over to the UK and you can have someone drive it over for you. &#8220;The Enemy&#8221; have ended their feud with Peaches that first started at Glastonbury. They described her as &#8220;untalented&#8221; and a bit of a scrubber. Now oddly they describe her as having a slight after taste&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Fuck O Meter this week:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;. i didn&#8217;t count&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; but seriously folks!!
