Reasons you will hate me

Pompous twat.

Listen to the ABC phone interview to hear his attempts to justify himself.

Execrable.

Poor, churlish, little pratty frat-boy.

How the mighty have fallen.

*snigger*

Who was that marshmallow man? I can imagine him bringing some artillery into the House and letting fly in all directions.
A girl can dream can't she?

That interview was very odd. It really did sound like he was about to burst into tears about how much he'd done for his constituents over his 23 years of service. Poor underappreciated Mr. Downer.

"I was leader of the opposition!"

God he's a whiner isnt he?

From Wikipedia:

"...the Queenfruit reaches a maximum size and plumpness for only a short time before falling from the branch. Depending on undergrowth cover, a fallen Queenfruit can bruise quite easily during this fall.

It is then generally ignored by scavengers, as the flesh will quickly become bitter, and the seeds can be quite toxic if enough are ingested..."

Best example (of an impressive collection) of how much of a wanker this guy is. I'd like to find a better word than that, but it is pretty pure and simple. I've always been bemused, to hear him interviewed, by how petty and hypocritical he is. Seeing him accuse the ALP of politicking last year whilst he and Abbott were the worst of the lot made my blood boil, considering he was, as he said, the 3rd most powerful man in the government. Thankfully, he is now just another reason I'm glad the Australian public had enough sense to boot them out.

Bravo, Marmalade, bravo!

What happens when a governments opposition gives up? Does it become a totalitarian state?

Oooooh, that could be the tagline for a bladerunner-esque film.

I loved it when the reporters were asking him why he went to lunch instead of the sitting at Parliament...after some dodging and weaving by Downer...one of the reporters then proceeded to ask what did you have for lunch? "Ah, veal, I think it was veal"....And to drink? "Ooooh...Lemon, Lime and Bitters"
Touche.

I know all there is to know about the crying game, Alexander. I was hoping his eyes would start raining, but then I remembered he has no spine
I couldn’t listen to the entire interview .I just wanted to smack his face with a yellow pages a few 100 times. Arrogant fucker, I wonder what caused him to think he can spin anything
Not someone I would enlarge my gusset for

I think you'll find this to be one of the most disturbing things ever. Follow the links and listen all the way through...

*polite curtsy in Dr Nic's direction*

Whenever I think of him, I think of that interview done with his wife in the mid 90's where the interviewer asks:
"What's first attracted you to Alexander?"
Response?
"His rippling thighs".

I kid you not. It was also around the 'fishnet stockings' time...

My Mum just refers to him as 'rippling thighs' now and has done so for about 10 years. Joe Hockey is also Shrek to her, but that's another joke all together.

I think he's feeling a bit bummed about not making the Ralph poll

I loved how he said he was better off having lunch than listening to Julia Gillard rant and rave. Hear, hear.

Audrey, I tried. Couldn't do it. Couldn't get past 30 seconds, past the first mention of legs. I'm still shuddering. (The fact I'm from Adelaide makes it that much worse.)

Yeah, why should elected officials have to sit through all that boring TALKING in parliament?

God, it's enough to put you to sleep. They never have a punchline, and there's not nearly enough musical numbers.

secret wombat, you missed the best part. The part where Alexander is her first guest and she reveals their SECRET PET NAMES FOR EACH OTHER.

There's also the bit where she talks about aphrodisiac foods.

Audrey! stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I tried, but I couldn't do it! I'd rather listen to Vogon Poetry.
Ah! Does anyone here remember the Downer Month? The things that batter?

At least Nicki is as hideous a bore as Lexi (how many times did she use the word I?) they truly deserve each other.

thanks audrey...thanks so much for the image of downer "panting on the cross trainer". fuck me dead if that's not the meaning of grotesque. and did wifey say "goodbye my squeaker" ???

How weird is the bit where she refers to Dorinda Hafner as her children's black auntie (auntie sounds like anty which sounds like mammie.)

This is Dorinda.

I'm nothing short of emotionally scarred, to be honest.

and people have actually had the temerity to accuse Lord Downer of Baghdad, the Mad Monk the Smirk, the haircut from Bradfield and others of having a born to rule mentality........

"There's probably been only three or four members of this Parliament to date that have worked harder than me and made a bigger contribution to the country than I have done. I have not been, over 23 years, sitting on the backbench and doing very little to contribute to the country."

I said when they lost that the Tories couldn't do opposition. They believe they are born to rule, not serve. There is no finer example of this than the dynastic Downer. How dare these ungrateful peasants rob me of my birthright! Infantile tantrums of impotent rage will be par for the course of Liberal Opposition. How long will Nelson last at nine percent? And who will take the poison chalice of Opposition Leader?
