I wrote a beautifully eloquent post about the election (I swear!) and then promptly closed the window in the excitement of it all. So instead, let me just draw your attention to our “first ladies” last night.
Janette: Pursed lips, nagging husband trying to be funny (can anyone say “talk show”?). Asking husband to kiss her on stage and he blatantly ignored her.
Therese: First thing she does is shake her bosom everywhere in a very Divine-esque manner.
Can’t you just see the Ladies Auxiliary for Prime Ministers now? Therese will be baking party pies, bringing cocktail frankfurts and spiking the punch while Janette whines that the cucumber sandwiches are only buttered on one of the slices of bread.
We have spoken, and we said “We’d really rather not see or hear you ever again, John, if it’s all the same.” And to the pensioners who called up talk back radio late last night using the The Youth Have Ruined My Life‚Ñ¢ line again, my grandparents had a Labor sign in their front yard, bless their cotton socks. Now bring on the senate results!
Therese is set to become the Bette Midler of Australian politics… Bring it on!
OMG, that’s SO TRUE about Bette Midler – she really looks like her.
I did very much enjoy your texting. I think between all my friends last night every single music theatre lyric that could possibly have been relevant was texted through the atmostphere.
All I can say is… Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!
I also though Therese looked like Bette Midler. And as for Jeanette… well you know her nickname in Howard’s office is Hyacinth?
It’s great to have a PM with a cooler name than John, even if he is a Queenslander.
Does that mean next that Therese is on Kerrie-Anne that she’ll break out into a chorus of “Wind beneath my wings”
I can’t wait until she starts doing Soph jokes:
I was in bed last night with my boyfriend Kevin, and he said to me “Therese, you got no tits and a tight box”. I said to him “Kev, get off my back.”
