Latham
Latham’s lamentations bring one question to mind; qui bono?
Timed to perfection, his poisonous, bitter diaries have knocked the massively unpopular sale of Telstra – actual news – off the front page. It will also continue to serve as a stick with which the Liberals may beat their opponents. So Biff sells his book, Howard’s off the hook and Labor, and more importantly the Australian people, suffer.
Latham is the worst of all the rats, at least Billy Hughes believed in conscription and Joe Lyons got the prime ministership. Biff just gets a few dollars in royalties, and believe me Biff it will only be a few.
If the country desperately needs an end the Howard administration, Mr Latham, as you said it did during your brief stint as leader of the opposition – why fling a load of personalised and ultimately irrelevant muck on to the only alternative government?
Honestly – Kevin Rudd gets some stick because he cried the day after his mother died? Beazley has no integrity – so Latham put him on his front bench? The diaries are a demonstration of the politics of a desperately sore loser.
Biff never could handle the fact that his belief in his own hype proved to be misplaced, and now lashes out like an angry child at the people who he thinks stole his favourite toy.
It makes you wonder if he ever believed in anything other than Mark Latham.

Or at least, that’s what I wrote to The West and the oz. I know Latham never believed in shit – there’s no wondering about it. And yeah, Beazley is a fucker, but what’s there to gain now? Revenge? What a cunt-throat.
