Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys? :womanlol:

[icyfroth]

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten threw a number of animal-related insults at  Abbott government ministers, including his description of Deputy Prime Minister  Warren Truss as "wombolic" – a reference to The Wombles, a children's  television show involving pointy-nosed, furry creatures that live in burrows.

Mr Shorten also had to withdraw a line about the government being ''cheese  eating surrender monkeys'' on Australian jobs.

Oh my! Is he doing a Gillardesque Temper Tantrum?

I always thought ''cheese  eating surrender monkeys'' was a reference to the French?

oh poddster, how very kind of you but I think you have mistaken me for someone who cares. I have doubts as well, though none of them grave and none concerning yourself.

 shorten isn't as good as labor leaders of the past, but time will polish that up, abbott however has been there for an eternity, and he gets worse. i remember him clearly as health minister and he's gone downhill since then.. shorten is a better speaker already. albo would outdo both with ease. pyne is the liberals best, he's gifted but demented sadly.
