"Go back to the Senate, you ferals!" shouted ordinarily prim Liberal MP
Sophie Panopoulos, incensed at the behaviour of conscientious interjectors
Bob Brown and Kerry Nettle. But the ferals weren't going anywhere.
Wearing cartoonishly large photos of Australian Guantanamo Bay detainees on
their lapels, as well as generous sprays of foliage ("Wattle," explained a
staffer later, although the greenery looked suspiciously smokeable), the
Greens were up and down like a jack-in-the-box, helping George Bush along
with his speech.

What a circus. IMO, Bob Brown is not feral in the slightest, so the handle
of 'Feral Bob,' just might have an appeal to the laconic aspect of some
Aussies: it might stick It is really worth reading the various papers
around the world, regarding this event. Americans, especially, reveal a
deep underlying disrespect for Aussies and think we are a joke.

Well Bob Brown is certainly a joke (and the idea of a brown green is
even funnier).

As for Kerry, never heard of her before; but she sounds a bit prickly
to be funny.


Cheers, Phred.
