Poor Timmy still dreams of miracle by St Anthony

-

TIM Blair’s weekly column ( TB, 27/ 11) had me shaking my head in disbelief.

Tim, the extreme right wing fanatic has claims to fame, such as being the youngest editor of the Truth in Melbourne, a grubby little rag which expired with the advent of online porn.

Tim also proved George W. Bush was indeed photograph­ed holding a real turkey sandwich, not a plastic one. True.

Tim is a devoted disciple of St Anthony of Abbott ( known to his friend as Tony) and is still in mourning over the not unexpected demise of the incompeten­t saint when his peers voted him out his position as Prime Minister over two years ago.

He is joined in this misery by fellow disciples: Peta Credlin and Andrew Bolt and they have formed a triumvirat­e in their pathologic­al hatred of Malcolm Turnbull ( nicknamed Judas) for his role in getting rid of the hapless Tony.

Trouble is, such single- minded loathing can sometimes turn the mind and it seems such has occurred to Tim.

Proving he is not a student of history, he now proposes that Turnbull should be overthrown and Tony reinstated ( remember the Rudd- Gillard- Rudd fiasco) so he can lead the Coalition to a glorious defeat and St Anthony will be double martyred.

He actually wants to guarantee Billy the Blade the Prime Ministersh­ip. Or could it be that Timmy is really an extreme right wing mole, only now revealing his crimson turncoat? But I will continue to read him. His unintended levity in this bleak Queensland political climate eases the depression. JEFF WILLIAMS, Condon.
