live by the bullshit beatup, die by the bullshit beatup

PRIME Minister John Howard attended an intimate fundraising lunch with a violent Brisbane pornographer, who was facing charges of torture and grievous bodily harm at the time, in the lead-up to the 2004 federal election.

I should point out that this story is pretty much exactly as consequential, in real terms, as the Brian Burke/Kevin Rudd story - which is, fuck-all. But in political terms, I think it's safe to say "violent Brisbane pornographer, who was facing charges of torture and grievous bodily harm at the time" trumps "dodgy ex-WA Premier and lobbyist". Any day of the week.

Once again, well done to Costello (and the assistants Downer and Abbott) for launching this whole "ethics" thing in an attempt to smear the other side. You must feel very very happy.

Idiots.
