OF SWANS CURRENT ENEMIES AND FRIENDS

I quote a few lines from the esteemed Niki Sava's great 

article in The Oz of 14/2 as below

.Little to show but he won't go: N Sava 14/2

Perhaps readers will have noted that these days  Wayne Swan and the Labor Party no longer even bother to defend himself / themselves relating to uncountable Labor idiocies /

lunacies, See my scribble earlier NOLO CONTENDERE

which attempts to  put their asinities into some context.

 But it is the astonishing disasters of WS that amaze.
Half of The Australian today is devoted to faithfully trying to delineate them.

Swan has it all: through his missions impossible, actions implausible, comments risible - or plain untenable - the world's greatest treasurer has made a mockery of Euromoney magazine in sharing this moniker with the great Paul Keating.

Look at Wayne's pulchritudenius qualities  below.

His inner beauty / intelligence shows through: look at the vacant stare - it decries his vacuous vapid, vicious turn of phrase to those he liketh not.

Indeed - he is sometimes like that: saying directly to current enemies what he thinks, the obverse to current friends.

Oh dear - could he sue me?
Could he contemplate the court listening to the above and all that indubitably follows on?

The thought must occur to his advisors that the above understates it all!

He could Join forces with his Attorney General Dreyfus!

EXTRACT FROM N SAVA ARTICLE:

.Little to show but he won't go: N Sava 14/2

''Stories abound about his extreme sensitivity to real or perceived slights. A couple of years ago one business leader delivered an innocuous speech setting out areas for reform including tax, skills, infrastructure and regulation.''

''Often the Treasurer makes his precious-petal phone calls himself and, combined with his deeply personal attacks on individuals, they have muffled public criticism.

Public reticence gives way to private venting. They rip into him for deficiencies in style and substance. Like the cricketer who can't bat and can't bowl, he seems unable to build fiscal capital or market credibility.''
