I was going to do Monday the 7th as well, but I began to get a headache. This isn’t blogging, it’s a nervous tic. And as someone who styles and refers to himself as a “journalist”, the man’s about as balanced as a cerebral palsy victim with Parkinson’s.

This is “opinionism” pure and simple. It is to “journalism” what Dan Brown is to “literature”. There is nothing, nothing whatsoever in Bolt’s multiplicity of obsessive brain farts that comes even close to resembling “reportage” or “investigation”. Instead, an exhausting series of snippy little snipes at anything and everything that can even remotely be connected or seen to connect or reflect on a “leftist” ideology or point of view, whatever the fuck that is.

It is, in a word, childish and childishly stupid. The apotheosis of infantilism. The fevered, and very possibly infectious expectorations of a thoroughly rattled individual who appears to lack the courage to actually stand as a representative of his chosen ideological position in an electorate and represent the people he purports to be mouthpiece for, preferring instead to cower behind the fences of the fourth estate lobbing spitballs into any paddock nearby whose cowpats happen to be of a shape displeasing to him.

Any attempt to engage in anything even vaguely resembling intelligent debate with this ridiculous individual and his flock of flying monkeys would be as futile an exercise as trying to thrust one's erect penis into a brick wall in the hope that the stone may yield up a little moisture.

What Bolt needs to get through his thick head for once and for all is that, back in November of 2007, the Australian electorate decided that they had had quite enough of John Howard and his government after 11 years and decided to change it. For better, or possibly for worse, that is what we have now for the next 3 years. While banging his head against a wall in petty protestations at any and all manner of perceived or imagined “faults”, no matter how
absurdly and patently inconsequential may pay Bolt’s wage, there is naught to be gained for the sad little bugger but a headache or, very possibly and most probably, brain trauma.

As for those of us who occasionally stumble into the lair of this so-called “controversial” creative tabloid typist in the vain hope that something, anything, anything at all of substance may lurk among the impenetrably thick murk that festers there, inevitably we simply find ourselves niggled by the media equivalent of a spastic blowfly valiantly attempting to shove itself up our nostrils for no reason other than the nostril is there to be niggled.

Andrew Bolt. Not evil. Stupid. Must die. Where put I the Mortein?

Brilliant post!

So much description yet so true. I think he is just totally irrelevant. He is so obvious in every comment he makes it's boring.

BTW, I hope you got the brick wall's phone number.
