In which the pond bypasses petty distractions for a decent dose of dog bothering ...

 

The pond is pleased to report that the lizards of Oz have continued to lather up an Oz day frenzy ...

And as a measure of the great sacrifices the pond always makes, the pond must tiptoe past them all, and also past Dame Slap, though the reptiles do seem to have been exceptionally cruel in their juxtaposition of stories ...



Who needs a man, when women have Dame Slap?

And there seemed to be a mixed message lost somewhere between poor old Peggy, back in the 1950s with Doris Day, Rock Hudson and Douglas Sirk movies, and later shows by Harvey ... 



But all this had to go, like Dimmeys had to leave Richmond (hey, they still have a franchise in Goulburn), because the reptiles kept on delivering top of the page major assessments of how well the Donald is doing ...


But forget the lap dog Cameron Stewart. 

This ceremonial occasion needs a pundit of exceptional gravitas, and who better than the man that did so much to help the stocking man and the war in Iraq ...


Oh okay, the only reason to go with the dog botherer is because it gives the pond a chance to catch up on some recent cartoons ...


After that there doesn't seem much point in attempting a longer assessment, but the dog botherer is a trier and he will try very hard to appear trying ...


Thank the long absent lord that the Donald introduced gravitas into political discourse, so that the pond might remark on what a fuckwitted dickhead thing it is to do to read the dog botherer, let alone actually be the dog botherer ...

And it seems, not just an average fuckwit, but a fuckwit without a sensa huma ...



Now how long before the dog botherer dissembles and says the Donald isn't his cup of tea, and then proceeds on to discover that actually the Donald is a very tasty sip of the finest Lapsang souchong ...


It's remarkable, not just the way that the Donald keeps brooding about Clinton and the campaign, but so does the dog botherer ... 

But it would be wrong to consider the dog botherer in a superficial way, as a brash, egocentric, abusive and petty commentator. Please allow the pond to plunge into a few more cartoons, before heading off to the deep end of the pool to contemplate  the depths of the dog botherer's fuckwittedness ...




Ah, that's better, and now the pond is fully charged, and ready for a penultimate gobbet of gibbering dob botherer ...

Indeed, indeed, exactly what the pond would expect a shithead to say, seeking as he does to always elevate the discourse ...





And so to the final gobbet, and the pond is exceptionally grateful to the dog botherer for offering a format conducive to running a whole bunch of cartoons ...




And so to the ultimate denial by a man who has astutely managed all forms of denialism, including but not limited to climate science denialism ...


Meanwhile, on another planet ...


Damn you 'leets, it's all your fault ...

And fnally the pond deeply regrets that it will have to mark the dog botherer down. That last sentence was verbose and convoluted, and included this phrase ...

"As a means of expressing their own virtue" 

Say what? That's simply pompous, circumlocutory and feeble.

What happened to "virtue signalling"

Doesn't the dog botherer know how to Greg Hunt? Is he unaware of the latest in reptile speak?

Let's face it, the Donald has only about ten words to his arguments, and the dog botherer has no reason to hare off and try and confuse the pond and the average punter when there's an all-purpose cliché to hand ...

And what the fuck is 'setting a pretty low bar' supposed to mean? Is he suggesting that the Donald is a shithouse president and everything scribbled before that last sentence should be taken as the silly defensive doodling of a shithead?

Could it be that the dog botherer, scribbling furiously in defence of the Donald, is himself setting a pretty low bar?

It's beyond the pond of course. Give the pond a smell of cheese and a Rowe cartoon, with more Rowe here, and the pond is happy ...

  1. But I gotta be a little bit grateful to the Dog Botherer. Taking in, as best I can, his total delusional revisionism and all round blind faith, I'm kinda beginning to see how so many people can believe the insane group archosis that is religion.

    I still don't understand it, but I'm beginning to see it better: Trump is a kind of David Koresh - or even maybe a Jim Hones - and Doggy Bov doesn't even need to drink the Kool Aid any more.

  2. What happened to "virtue signalling"?

    He'd already used that at the beginning of the penultimate gobbet. Circumlocution possibly intended to hide the fact he was repeating himself. Although since he repeats himself in every fucking opinion piece, I'm not sure why that would matter to the D-B.
