Today’s big story in the idiocracy is:
Malcolm Turnbull’s father-in-law, the prominent Sydney QC Tom Hughes, wrote to him after he lost the Liberal leadership to Tony Abbott in 2009 urging him to remain in politics saying the Liberal Party’s “present folly would pass”.
…In a separate letter to his brother, the distinguished art critic Robert Hughes, Tom Hughes likened Mr Abbott’s ascension to the Liberal leadership to putting “the principal lunatic in charge of the asylum” and said the switch was a “potentially catastrophic decision”.
…In the letter to Robert Hughes on December 17, 2009, Tom Hughes said: “But Malcolm, to his great credit, stood up for his principles and paid the price.” He was referring to Mr Turnbull’s then support of an emissions trading scheme, which was unpopular in Liberal Party branches, and a key factor in him losing the leadership to Abbott.
Actually, Malcolm learned his lesson and when he came back he adopted the lunatic’s own policies. So, who is the lunatic here, the lunatic or the lunatic that follows him?
Pass the salt loon, I mean son.
