Something I didn't do for once.
From Crikey, re everyone's favourite bleater Concetta Fierravanti-Wells and her bloody-minded war on Aunty:
'...I want to take you to the new program called 'First Tuesday Book Club'. I understand that the first 'First Tuesday Book Club' had an auspicious start and that one of the presenters made a jibe along the lines of "not like John and Janette invading Iraq". It was bad enough that this comment was made on an arts program, but why drag Mrs Howard into it? Will you investigate that? Is this the sort of program that is now going to be covered by the editorial policies?'
My friend Peter emailed me this yesterday, adding:
'are you in concetta's sights? Is the quote referred to yours?
How simply thrilling, to be a target for a tory senator.'
Much as I'd love to claim credit for single-handedly destroying the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, FOR ONCE I AM IN THE CLEAR. I DIDN'T SAY IT, IT WASN'T ME. IN YOUR FACE JASON STEGER, YOU FILTHY PINKO.
373 days til the next election.

But it's the kind of thing you would say.
you've gone soft.
Et tu, Brute?
me?
i'm still totally kicking against the pricks.
fight the power etc.
What has the world come to when 'The Arts' are used to criticise those in power? Not in my day etc.
Tut Tut!
But you could show 'em how to drag that nice Mrs Howard into it good and proper, couldn't you?
Go on, you know you want to.
Yes, you could totally lampoon her for having had breast cancer. Go on, you know it's your style.
The cancer in question was not of the breast, but the cervix - a mistake Ms Fits would never have made, providing as it does an opportunity to talk about the First Vadge, should she have been of a mind to discuss Mrs Howard in the first place.
If you're going to attempt snarkasm, do try and be accurate.
ZOE FOR PRESIDENT!
And hey, if Mrs. Howard desires to remain married to a war mongering and refugee loathing individual who also takes pleasure in fucking with the Australian workers and deliberately denies there is such a thing as climate change and the stolen children generation, then perhaps a little verbose lampooning wouldn’t be that out of line would it?
I mean, they say if you choose to lie down with dogs….
But I do believe that Zoe stated it much more nicely then I.
Mmmmm, hate speech.
I love when Anonymous commentators attempt to portray you as some kind of slavering commie hell hound bent on the destruction of all that is good and decent about traditional Aussie values. I am always surprised they have to stoop to such cowardly levels as to hide their identities from public view (while you are all too plainly visible) only to misrepresent what you do, say and stand for.
I mean, honestly, the truth is shocking enough, any embellishment serves only to (as the Zen saying goes) "put a head on top of her head".
But, yeah, Janette can eat a sack of fuck as far as I'm concerned. Anyone stupid enough to marry a guy who never left home deserves contempt.
"Janette can eat a sack of fuck"
TLS FOR VICE PRESIDENT!
But aren’t hate speeches Howard’s speciality?
I’m with TLS on this one.
I am not so bothered by the anonymity of the comments; it’s the latent hypocrisy aimed at alleged leftist disgust that fucks me off the most.
The assumption that Ms Fits has the moral capacity of someone that would be pleased if another person got cancer is astoundingly duplicitous.
You are being reproachful of an issue that you have efficiently achieved in your very first remark. Welcome to the hate club, anonymous.
And Janette can go eat a sack of fuck.
EAT A SACK OF FUCK FOR PRESIDENT (of sayings).
I just met your make up lady Ms Fits. I wasn't 'easy' (then again she wasn't making me up) but she did like my hair. I like the ABC.
Lay off the ABC people.
ps Go Jason Steger. How surprising!
pps this comment thread is brilliant. Damn good for a short one.
ALL OF YOUSE UN-ANONS FOR PRESES.
there are actually more reasons that wanting anonimity for using the anonymous approach, ie not being set up with a blog but wanting to add a note, so dont judge,(that person that said people are hiding behind a facade) Whatever! I have been reading your blog for a while now Ms fits and very much enjoy log in to see what you have to say, I have forwarded the link to friends espsially when they say 'whats a blog'yep there are still people out there who don't know. It seems to me that you have a huge fan base, I get the feeling on the whole that people really love and adore you and hold you in high esteem. I think you really do write a great and funny blog, a modern day political satirist - sorry for the bad spelling. Anyway thats it, maybe I will begin my own blog and will not be anonymous, although having said that, one sort of still is even with a blogger name etc.
cheers
well...if you're interested in arts coverage on Aunty. I know someone who work(ed) on the only daily arts program on Radio Naitonal.....that's just been given the arse as of Wednesday. It'll see the year out and then bye bye
Farewell arts coverage in Australia...fare thee well
So....
Should women who show their skin be held responsible for rape?
I used to comment before I had a blog (which is growing mouldier by the week through neglect, incidentally), and I did so somewhat anonymously. But I usually made up a stupid name to go with my commentary. Anonymity is so boring.
But also able to be used in a cowardly and generally pissweak way by spiteful individuals. My comments were directed at those people.
This anti-bias editorial policy is so so so so depressing.
I can't believe it, I can't even laugh you know?? I wish I could, but this is so fucking insidious and horrible and going to badly for all....
That's right, TLS. To the Anon who claimed that not having a blog is the reason behind remaining Anonymous - click 'Other' instead, and type a name in there.
Glad to have helped.
Many thanks butthead, theres a name for you - but does that really make the slightest bit of diff, sorry fits seem to have kind of identity crisis going on amongst the troops.

Completely off topic I know, but I did enjoy your recent Age article Ms Fits. How good is the word 'louche' ? I think this is going to be my very favourite word for quite some time to come.
