Richard Butler becomes Governor of Tasmania
who appointed him??? australia is going to hell in a handbasket, owned by the greens and those with no logic and no compassion and no morals
TASMANIA’S next governor Richard Butler has pledged to present the truth to a parliamentary inquiry into Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, but will pass no comment on government policy.
Oh, that Richard Butler!
Mr Butler, a former United Nations chief weapons inspector in Iraq, was announced yesterday as the state’s new governor to succeed Sir Guy Green.
a podium from which to continue my spewtum and spittle against Howard, the US, asking illegal immigrants to apply at an embassy and wait in line like everybody else, and deposing Saddam!
An outspoken critic of the Howard Government’s decision to join the United States-led war in Iraq, Mr Butler has publicly accused Prime Minister John Howard of misleading Parliament over the issue....
"Liars and thieves, the lot of 'em! Liars and thieves!"
"I will answer their questions and present my informed view on the issue of weapons of mass destruction," he told ABC Radio last night.
informed view? Didn’t this guy do a bad job and hasn’t even been in Iraq for years? he’s out of the loop
"I will offer no comment on government policy.
I don’t need to - you all know what I think, and I know the media will quote my past interviews so that makes it unnecessary for me to lower myself
However, he said his new role would not stop him from presenting the facts.
Yarr Ha ha! gotcha! see, I can spray all the spittle I like by selectively quoting some facts! (and leaving out a mountain of evidence to the contrary)
"The only way it could be interpreted as political would be if I said things that weren’t true,
or if you quote facts selectively thus distorting the picture
which I don’t intend to do, or if the Government decided that it didn’t like the truth," he said.
of course, being the sole arbiter of truth, the high pinnacle of all that is treu .. I am truth and, yea, verily I dispenseth all forgiveness
"Liars and thieves... Liars and thieves... Mutter mutter... rhubarb rhubarb..."
"I don’t believe that being governor-designate of Tasmania relieves me, or any other person, of the necessity of speaking the truth.
For verily you should get down and worship me for I am the great god Butlick recently returned from my glorious mission of TRUTH in Iraq, and I will speak truth to power: yes I will!
"Now, if the Government finds that uncomfortable,
hehe watch me make Howard squirm
that’s another matter, and it, of course, is free to say, ’Well, we had a different view’... But I am not relieved from the business of saying what I think the facts are."
It’s the TRUTH i tell ya the truth! I am the teller of all truth and anybody who disagrees with MY point of view is a damned dirty liar!
muttermuttermutter
In the past he has been a vocal critic of the Howard Government over issues including the war in Iraq, the children overboard affair and asylum seekers. Mr Howard today offered no comment on Mr Butler’s vice-regal appointment, due to officially begin on November 3.
He offered no comment because he doesn’t have to. He’s better than that. He doesn’t have to tell the world he is upright, courageous and full of integrity. He just is. He doesn’t have to advertise 4 times in the same breath that he speaks the truth, unlike Dicky Butlick.
