Ha! They're such amateurs! The Australian conservatives have managed to turn shit into gold and are *more* solidly entrenched now than they were six months ago. It's amazing. They have had to navigate all the scandals your insane clown posse has failed to, plus a whole host more. They managed to appoint a Governor General involved in a paedophilia scandal a guy who publicly apologised for a rapist on prime time TV - and nothing came of it. It was just the news of the moment, now it's ancient history. I can't imagine that it is because of voter apathy alone, since the US has that in spades.
Note to self #1: when a right-wing despot, make sure the economy isn't fried before going ape. Economy must fry *after* going ape.
Note to self #2: a moron might connect well with focus groups, but he will put his foot in his mouth at inopportune times.
