Ms Fits is an irritatingly smug 32 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.

THU10APR

I cried a river over you.





There's been an enormously hilarious mix-up with the quotes attributed to the weeping political figures below. Can you solve the puzzle and affix the correct soundbite to the sobbing, broken man?





p.s. In some cases the incorrect quote may be more frighteningly apt than the original and believe me this scares me as much as it scares you.













''I hope that Mr. Peacock will recognize the enormity of the allegation that he's made against me, that I am a crook, that I associate with criminals, that I am directed by them.''














"I have sinned against you, my Lord, and I would ask that your precious blood would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgiveness."



















"Under the glare of the desert sun he never lost his cool."
















"Family is everything."



















"What I want the American people to know, what I want the Congress to know is that I am profoundly sorry for all I have done wrong in words and deeds.

....So nothing, not piety, nor tears, nor wit, nor torment can alter what I have done. I must make my peace with that."

"Family is everything."? Surely that is Beazley? Though, Hawke would suit that quote...

They were cool, and very appropriately attributed to someone else.

But as to the real utterers:-
Beazley - family is everything
Clinton - last quote on doing wrong in word & deeds!
Hawke - the first quote on Peacock saying he's a crook, he he!
Rev. Bakker - "I have sinned against you, my Lord..."
G.W. Bush - (what's with those tears? Has he been to the Home & Away actors 'learn to shed credible tears' class) Anyhow, I'm just guessing it could be the "Under the glare of the desert sun" one.

How close was I?

Kimmy looks like a bad guy in Dig Dug about one pump away from popping.

The Shrub has overdone the Clear Eyes, but is focusing on a future timeline packed with wicked bowls of Doritos. Dude.

Bomber quote 4 - I think when his brother died.
Clinton ummm.....quote 5
Silver Bodgie quote 1
TV hypocrit evangelist quoeth 2
And Bush quote 3 - he's talking about the soldier in Iraq who threw himself on a grenade. It does look like eye drops though

And congrats on getting the gong. Luv your work in the Green Guide, though I stopped listening to JJJ when they stopped played Jeff Buckley and Portishead. Might have to start listening again.
Oh, my brother's never forgiven you for pretending to be single at a speed dating/literary do!!!

All these grown men crying would have Charlton Heston spinning is his grave.

Next up, you have to match up the person and the Canberra pad they stayed at. I say Clinton went to the orgy Spa one, for sure.

I went to the MUA's Patricks dispute 10th anniversary dinner last night and Kim B made a very stirring impassioned speech. Pity he couldn't show that side whilst in politics.

No, no, no.
Beazles: is performing a soliloquy from Hamlet
Clinton: I definately will never again have sex with this woman.
Hawke: Kick it to me
Baker: Waddya mean santa isn't real
Bush: Congress just busted my balls again

This little article provided me with all I needed to know about the recent history of politics and religion! It could've included one about the rodent (John Winston Howard) though.

I noticed 2 things immediately. The wash of red light over Kim (is he staring into the jaws of hell) and the Clinton bling. Is that evengelist on drugs or what?

Big Matt Stud said...
Lazy reader, I don't believe that there is any sort of documented evidence of The Rodent ever having squeezed out a tear, is there ?

Can anyone think of anything that would have penetrated that cold, black, tiny heart sufficiently to have let loose the waterworks ? Bradman kicking the bucket perhaps ?

By the way, Fits, props for the "sultana-eyed doughhead" description of the Duck, I laughed out loud at the one.

The biggest crime, truly, is your mixing a lovely Julie London song in with all these horrid, horrid politicians. Only the fact that you have Our Hillary in a picture saves your hide.

Big Matt Stud said...
...and I know I'm conducting an extended one way conversation with myself here, but can I just point this out as perhaps the scariest thing that I've seen this year ?

Natalie Bassingthwaite now an author

Apparently it's called Sistahood: A Journey of Self Discovery, and it's author said that she hoped the book encouraged girls to be nicer to each other.

World peace can't be far behind, can it ?

i liked the "sultana-eyed-dough-head" too.

i can now replace the "he should be in jail" line i always use whenever i saw the cross-eyed, pigeon-toed, wife-stealing, woman-abusing, not-as-good-as-richo, fuckhead on the teev, since he assaulted that girl way back when.

Doesn't suprise me to hear that about Kim Anon. Despite never voting for him I quite liked the Bomber, I always thought his biggest problem was that the more radical members of his party hamstrung him. I suspect he would have done better had he been given more of a free reign as leader.
Ahh, Beazly vs Howard. The days when I actually enjoyed politics, as opposed to watching both the show pony assclowns we currently have to choose from.

hippogurl said...
seeing as we've nailed who said what can we vote on the best performance in a public weep?
I like Bill his sincerity is only undermined by the fact that he is about to check the time to see if he has cried for long enough yet. bewdiful!

The offending reverend is actually Jimmy Swaggart. Caught with his pants down with "a sweet young thing" as Frank Zappa opined once in concert.

In time, George W Bush will be seen as being a great President for paving the way for peace and democracy in the cancer that is the Middle East and for helping extinguish Islamic fundamentalists worldwide.

Rhamdor said...
Yeah, the same way that all the biggest bloody murderers in history have been turned into saints the moment they died. Examples: most of the saints of the catholic church, and for a more appropriate example to W. Bush, Ronald Reagan. So, yeah, all Dubya has to do is die and he'll be a saint, for sure

Dear Ms Fits

Have it on good authority (my 80 year old mum no less) that you have been reduced to tears on occasion by books. This makes me think well of you and makes my plan to accost you someday with puppy eyes and red roses (while sneaking schmacko's to Bob Ellis) seem slightly more likely to succeed. I was reduced to tears (in fact the brink of suicide) by Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" while working alone in London but I guess that's understandable. This confession is, of course, only tangential to today's thread - but hey!

xox

elbarstardo said...
Yeah Rhamdor, I hear Saint Francis was a fucking BAD ASS with a chainsaw.
And St Peter? Don't get me started about that black belted motherfucker.
I hear St Matthew use to drink the sap of virgin willows.

stupidteen said...
I know this is slightly off topic (though you have sent shivers down my spine with the Clinton attributed to the Dubya) I was wondering are you going to the GetUp summit dinner at the National Press Club?
Oh Fits I hope you read this.

Whose tears will pass the for true ,and whose face is melting .I know not .Crying has no place in leadership,but by others when you exit this life.

KB look at what you've done to you poor poor full stops. And as for your demonic spacing - I am about to cry.

btw, who have you quoted?

Who just allowed one typogrammatical error and a missed comma through the gate.

Make that: "youR poor, poor full stops"

Liz getting my daily Ms Fits fix! said...
Thanks Mark. Yes, I got the wrong Jimmy the Preacher. It was indeed the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart's picture above, whose sex scandal with a New Orleans prostitute lead to that "heartfelt and sincere"(!!??) quote.
The footage can be viewed on YouTube still, for those who wish to enjoy.
11Apr10:32
Mark said...
Thank you Liz. What I love about this Reverend is that of course he did it again years later and when his congregation bailed him up about it he, in the fine tradition of Jo Bjelke's "Don't you worry about that" told them something like, "The Lord has told me to tell you that it's none of your business"!

I believe he's still preaching.

Hysterical! What a hypocrite. Pity his poor congregation.

Pat Patterson said...
I think the quote concerning Mr. Peacock belongs to the solution of who, what and where in a game of Clue. Plus even though I am no fan of Ozzie Osbourne I like his response to criticisms by Jimmy Swaggart by figuratively just kicking the preacher when he was down and not stopping until satisfied.

Ok Go. SPACE. I’ll step back before I take my stop out. SPACE. When I type with my tongue, I lay him out over the entire keyboard and my taste buds go to work on the keys. SPACE. I was out with full stop bud tasting, when punctuation class was on, so he learned nuff fink, and of course he can’t hear. SPACE. Thank you for both your grammar proper, and grabber proper. SPACE.

Actually it's supposed to be dot then double-space.
12Apr17:42
Sam said...
taught double-space too. met professional writer of process documents in sydney who insisted only one space. she was younger than me. assumed it was generational shift. not hung up on the dot space thing. worry about the licking of keyboard thing. hope is not shared keyboard. read stupid email stats about number of people who forget to wash their hands after they masturbate.SPACE.the final frontier. perhaps it is regional?
12Apr18:16
Dodgy said...
Interesting theory regarding possible regional differences. I'm not really so hung up on it, but I do take perverse pleasure in sending perfectly formed text messages, double-spaced and all.
13Apr20:05
Anonymous said...
I don't like to wash my hands after masturbating. I enjoy touching others with my dried up lady dribble.

Was taught two spaces after full stops back in the eighties, but these days it's all about minimising keystrokes. Hence the lack of full stops in acronyms now days.
13Apr21:08
GO said...
in the old days, that is, typewriter days and old word processors, yes, true, it was two spaces after a full stop. but then they stopped all that shite and made it one.

check any official style guide if you can be arsed. or just believe moi.

and on the matter of style guides, really, anything goes (apart from no spaces after a full stop). it's just a matter of being consistent.

This is just making me feel so old now. My typing style has been superceded. My nieces are being taught a different writing/printing style too.
