Belinda Neal is a federal politician who’s been in the news recently after her alleged outburst at the Staff of bar/restaurant who wanted her and her husband moved to an outside table to make way for the nightclub part of the club.
“Do you know who I am?” she is alleged to have demanded. “I’ll close you down. I’ll hve your licence removed.” And so on…
What followed was several days of he said she said from the staff and her husband, John Della Bosca, a (State politician) including several Statutory Declarations.
Then an apology from the owner and the whole thing descended into the mire – a place it has to be said, where the average politician spends the majority of their time – quite comfortably too, pond life that they are.
Just another powerbroker throwing their weight around was how I initially read it. No surprise there; the rich and powerful…well, it’s what they do and frankly why men seek such power. For example, what’s George Dubya been doing for the last seven years if not throwing his (military’s) weight around…?
Anyway, back to our homegrown heavyweight. The papers went on a veritable witch hunt, trawling through Ms Neal’s past looking for anything they could use to further tarnish her reputation (and selling more copy – which as I’ve said before, truth be damned, is the real reason why rags print anything!)
And they came up with the following:-
A few weeks ago, Ms Neal, who plays football (womens’ football…hahahaha, excuse me while I pick myself off the floor…) apparently kicked one of her opponents while said opponent was on the ground. The Daily Rag (my favourite publication) gave the poor victim a front page headline along with a picture of her fabricated upset face and a story of how “the bruises still hurt”. (Don’t play football then little girl!)
Now Ms Neal has been ordered by the PR motivated Prime Minister to seek counselling – for anger management or something. She has become, until we all get bored and move on to the next outrage, a pariah, appearing on TV showing contrition and asserting what is expected of her. Bad politician! (Is their any other???). Such moralistic sanctimony makes me want to defecate.
I almost feel sorry for her... ...almost!

Politicians are pure scum; i hold them in nothing but the deepest contempt and this is a perfect demonstration why, from both the original offenders, Neal and Bosca, and the political expediency- driver Premier, Morris "the Fuckwit" Iemma.
Please tell me you not one of those cretins that re-elected this wanker and his band of incompetents!
