Michael, don’t be so disingenuous. I mean really, Bolt himself is so juvenile, childish and sneering, much less the contributors.

No he diddn’t – thats just the total extent of intelligence to be wrung from this putrid digital rag of a ‘counter’ blog.

Well it’s all those rienforced trousers Bolt has to buy for Insiders. You’d think the ABC costume budget would spring for it?! They would if it was Tim Flannery or some other leftist deity.

It’s not Bolt’s fault his legs have to part red sea style for his over large balls.

I don’t think Lefty truly understands the economic supply and demand forces that are behind the current raising of Australian house prices.

If he does it would be interesting if could name a single, solitary, Howard policy that has increased the cost of a home.

AB seems very chuffed that he got “more responses to his 2 weekend threads on the summit than the number that actually attended”. I’m not sure what that proves, but in boltworld it seemed worthy of boasting about.

I notice within those two threads that many of the comments start along the lines of “I couldn’t face watching any of it” or “you are so brave Andrew, if I sat through even five minutes I would have been ill”.

Interestingly, most of the follow up comment from these people revolves around how terrible the summit was, what a waste of time, no new ideas etc….based entirely on Andrew’s opinion, not on any personal observation.

It is a shining example of the “group-think” they are constantly accusing the Left of.

I am always amused by this incredible hypocracy that is exhibited by those who post on his site.

“The Left loves to hate” is a frequent catch-cry, but here is an example of a response to a post of mine:

Chill out mister!
Don’t call a spade a shovel. Spit it out dweeb. Are you calling us liars? If so, then you are wrong,wrong,wrong!!!!!
BTW- there was no mention of Polka Dot Joan being the Premier at the time of these occurences, only that she was indeed in “spots”.
Crawl back into your hole, rodent.

No hate there!!

BTW, my response to that was never posted.

My name isn’t just a throw back to Ian M Banks books but it also works well in conversation. People should remember this. But i guess i should have known that someone meeting bolt would mot say it was the highlight of their day. So silly.

On the morning shows, the talking torsos were all trying to bag the 2020 summit but the delegates they sent all got listened to, and when you have occurences like James Packer offering a lift to a lady who missed her shuttle bus, its hard to bag it at all really.

Cept blanchett, apparently she had a child not long ago. I dont know if any of you know that.

Damn right it’s the Left’s fault, Mr Lefty — the ALP has been in government now for several months and still hasn’t fixed it.

Pathetic.
