Humble pie time 30/9/2012
Alan Jones called a press conference a few minutes ago to apologise for his appalling remark to students that Julia Gillard’s father died of shame because of her repeated lies.
Taking chutzpah to Olympian levels Jones managed in his explanation to revisit the no-carbon-tax lie, the pink batts fatalities, the Gillard-AWU scandal and the boat people failures. He also referred to the trashing by Labor leaders of Kevin Rudd earlier this year.
Don’t think the press pack wanted to hear those matters getting another airing.
Jones also claimed a cabinet minister’s wife had Twittered a death wish aimed at him.
It will be interesting to see whether the media will get as excited about that.
UPDATE:
The ever-watchful BoltA reveals an far more hurtful declaration about Gillard’s father’s death, one that unlike Jones’ disgraceful jibe, was intended for widespread public consumption. And unlike Jones woeful crack, was totally ignored by the outraged commentariat.
Typical right wing bigot. Thats all Alan Jones is and always will be. He is full of the hatred you would expect from right wing bafoons like him & John Michael Howson. All he is doing is playing the sympathy card over alleged death threats. Complete garbarge from garbage.
Alan Jones is a disgrace who should have been sacked years ago after his public toilet episode in the UK loitering for homosexual sex. His comments about Gillard & her father should have him sacked if 2GB has any decency. Obviously going by your comments Bernie you are a fan of such a pompous ratbag.
Congratulations on inventing a new word, Rhonda – ”bafoon”. Sorry, it’s impossible to be a fan of a radio commentator you never hear. Geography one of your weak subjects, too?
Buffoon, Drongo & Bafoon they’re all slang words that describe twits like Alan Jones, if you have never heard of those words you need to get out more. Oh that public toilet pervert darling of the Liberal party, Alan Jones gets air time in Melbourne.
Urban Dictionary definition of bafoon:
Moron who thinks he is smarter than others but cannot spell the word ‘buffoon’
That bonehead wrote a letter to the newspaper calling Steve Jobs a ‘bafoon’. How embarrassing would that be?
Now that I’m retired I have time to listen to all sorts of radio programs. What Melbourne station does Jones broadcast on?
On 2GB and the interwebs Bernie. Lol
Rhonda, what makes Jones’s “hatred” any worse than yours?
Bafoons and garbarge – something for everyone.
Street Slang can mean whatever as Bafoon has many meanings. Jones comments frequently get aired on various stations in Melbourne & he used to be a permanent fixture a few years back & nothing will take away the fact that this darling of the Liberal party is a f—–.
That is the most disgusting hate-filled homophobic comment I’ve ever received. If I’d not censored it I would leave myself open to accusations of enabling vile, defamatory hate-speech.
You’re a fucking hypocrite Bernie. You’re probably one of the types Jones loiters for in public toilets.
Most commenters on this blog offer reasoned, good humoured points about matters of the day, even those with whom I disagree. Then along comes someone like Rhonda to demonstrate there’s always an element of rabidity out there.
Bitter and twisted is an appropriate cliche to describe Rhonda’s emotional outpouring. Or, stupid is as stupid does..
You’re all class, Rhonda.
Attention: Cake of soap required for potty mouth.
“You’re a fucking hypocrite Bernie. You’re probably one of the types Jones loiters for in public toilets.”
Jones couldn’t get near the toilets for lefty gals like you Rhonda-
