The Season of Goodwill to All Men got underway in style this morning, with this from The Australian
His Royal Highness King John Howard has launched a fiery pre-Christmas attack on Kevin Rudd, accusing his Labor rival of "hyperbolic overreach" and a "crude demonisation" of the Government, based upon an "absence of solid facts."
The Opposition Leader's "rhetorical device of choice is the straw man", Mr Howard says. "He conjures up a bogus image before proceeding to knock it down. He has invested heavily in the charge that I am an "extremist" and a "market fundamentalist."
Labor's new leadership team hit back last night. Deputy leader Julia Gillard said Mr Howard's attack proved his "best days (are) behind him".
And she said Mr Howard, who is seeking a fifth term in office, was "clearly rattled" by Mr Rudd's solid start and Labor's rise in public support.
So not only does Howard get a free kick in an Opinion Piece in the Murdoch Rag, it is also written up as news and no doubt commented on by Matt Price or Dennis Shanahan in a Vaccuous "Blog" Piece entitled Kevvie is a Dill What do you think??
'Ems fightin words for the Season of Goodwill. Definitely more sabre rattling to come from Pirate Howards End and his Merry Band of Mean Spirited Swashbucklers from the Bad Ship Tampa.
