Continuity wipes work to cleanse hopes fuelled by Latham

Ever the disenfranchised and disheartened, the Australian Labor Party have dusted off the oils and packed away the barbs to again send in two-time champion loser, Kim Beazely, to go and lead their party to the next federal election.

Growing spores collected along the party halls throughout the week as the other candidates were fiercely rolled over into the wet spot. The lumbering hunk of Brand material swept in to unite the Federal Labor party never with an agenda. Knowing dual deal to be done on the run, Beazely also held subversive media spots as a pusher of the mobile phones, one ever so glued to the side of his face with ardent glee.

With a party front line of lacklustre hopes, Beazely was an inevitable choice. Candidate and member for Griffith, Kevin Rudd, scrubbed himself out midway through the campaign, his base numbers showing no strong enough sign of support. Eleventh hour bidder and member for Lalor, Julia Gillard, never took off beyond the media speculation that snowballed and melted across the kitchen floor, waiting to be mopped up.

Promises have been installed and blueprints drawn up that call to separate the house of lies from the mansion of deciet. Mark Latham stands on the side of the shed, shaved and waiting for someone to look his way.

On that note...
