#12  Imagine Lyndon Johnson at question time!

Muh good fren and colleague from Rio Linda is mistaken in his assertions. It is well known his Momma (a grand and notable woman I admire greatly) would not let him out of the house without his special instructions.

Chair! Chair!
I do ask the first minister what instructions is he referring to?

The right honorable member from Metcalf must know that our esteemed colleague from Rio Linda requires requires instruction on the best way to pour piss from a boot. His gracious mother prints them on his boot heels, sadly this does not always suffice.

Okay Doc how's that for toned down?

#8  IMO, one of the advantages of the parliamentary system is that an empty-suit like Obama can't survive backroom dealings.

Just imagine Obama doing one of those question and answer sessions with Parliament like the British PM must do.

#5  In her first speech as the country’s leader, May indicated she would chart a new course, emphasizing the need for social justice and saying she would govern on behalf of the poor, minorities, women and others who have traditionally not been given a strong voice in government.

Dandy.

Best News from May. Obviously lots of backroom deals and listening to grassroots Tories going on.

#2  I'm a May skeptic but she's looking vastly better than expected.

#1  Dang! She's throwing the body-line at 'em!

Ashes to Ashes
Must to must,
Get a real Tory when times be tough.
