Bill Scrambles To Praise Returning Soldiers In Darwin

silverfaun — Sat, 01 Mar 2014 22:07:39 GMT

Bill Showbag Shorten is an embarrassment to Australia.

He wormed his way into the ceremony, at the last minute when the march had started, which he said he was not attending, nobody knew was coming.

He caught the last plane to Darwin to scurry to the ceremonies.

His speech making it about himself not serving his country was cringeworthy to say the least, and everybody there knew it was all about the cowardly attack on a decorated serving officer he refused to sack or even demand an apology from the union hack Conroy, to try to get into the good graces of the very people he let Conroy insult.

When asked by journalists, 3 times, he put the phony grin on then proceeded to praise himself on his love for the countries armed forces, it was embarrassing to watch & insulting to the troops and their families.

What a loser, but, the Labor party will stick with him because the alternative verballer Plibersek is anathema to the NSW Labor right who hate her.

At least he didn't have to read his speech and didn't speak in in three word segments.

All he's good for is rallying the union troops to strike and he's not even any good at that. No core values, no guts and no ethics. He will go far in Labor with those qualities.

I cannot believe they have put this hollow man in their top job, we know how that happened don't we, the unions put their straw man in over the overwhelming support given to Albo.

They all know what he's like hence the pejorative name his own comrades gave him.

Showbag: all show and no inner core, all ambition but no quality.

It's going to be interesting to see how he manages to cling on in the face of his appalling polling and his transparent phoniness when the majority of Labor didn't want him.

BTW , Afghanistan all sorted now is it ? what a waste of time money and civilian life . its hard to be enthusiastic greeting someone who made almost no difference i'd say.. maybe tone is better at faking enthusiasm.

It was stated by a commentator a few years ago when he slipped into the job of opposition leader (by one vote) and began to speak in this adolescent manner, that while he was the attack dog his output was reasonably fluent, but that now he had to rein that in, and he would eventually settle into normal speech patterns. Well, we are still waiting..........

The Libs threw them into danger and labor pulled them out so i guess Shorten has the right to welcome them home at the last minute becuase as they say **bleep** happens...

6 Years of the ferocious "Gotcha" press trying to get Abbott, trying to destroy any message getting out without them going after every word, every nuance to destroy him, has culminated into a careful manner.

He can rabble rouse with the best of them but that's not what we expect from a PM, let Showbag rant and let Conroy insult, they will never rise above their low politics.

well that might help explain it. one of my children has suffered a speech impediment and i'm tolerant in that respect. abbotts speech impairment is a result of having to be overly careful, he can't afford to let the real tone out. . so its slow deliberate and stilted in case he lets his true feelings out.

Was that supposed to be satire? surely, can't be serious.

The hate we see exhibited by supporters of Labor in the wider community makes anything Gillard suffered paltry and petty, but, no matter, PM Abbott is above all that & that is what we expect from a dignified PM. trying to run a successful government so he doesn't have to sink to the levels we saw Gillard exhibit.

Whatever that means? but I can assure you I have a very long memory and Labor supporters will bear the brunt of it.

I have seen a lot of criticism about Abbotts manner of speaking....specifically referring to the uhmms and errrrs........I dont see that as a deliberate attempt to carefully control what he says......Obama speaks in similar manner.....I have always put that down to being the way they express themselves and tend not to focus on that........But that's just me..
