Hilarious! And the Left are supposed to be the smart side of the political divide  It certainly appears that they are not only humourless themselves (by and large), they don't recognise humour from others. I love the "it may surpise you that i was very popular at school" bit! Sydney blog reader PowerPlayer, an individual of leftish persuasion, takes issue with Joe Hildebrand over a recent Prime Ministerial exclusive: I’ve looked everywhere for verification on this interview and guess what? No-one else seems to have any knowledge of it at all … here we have an unsubstantiated story (read: lie) about our PM, and a bunch of people who thinks its a laughing matter … Is everyone missing the point here? This whole ‘exclusive’ is MADE UP. If MR Hildebrand can’t provide some evidence of this, then I am left with no other recourse but to point out that he is a liar … As for all the people criticising me for voicing this opinion. Do you believe everything you read? are you really that ignorant? this isnt about Rudd or Labor or Liberal - its about people making up the news to slander the PM … it may surpise you that i was very popular at school. Captain of the debating team AND public speaking champion. i fully understand satire - obviously you dont. This article is obviously not satire. First of all, its published on a reputable news site. Second of all, Hildebrand (who i note is too cowardly to enter this debate) has identified it as a truthful story.
Joe took a call yesterday from another Labor-leaning type who held similar doubts. Informed by Joe that his piece was intentionally fictional, the fellow softly replied: “Oh, I see … does your editor know?” |
