Not oratory prowess… just waffle!
Whenever Malcontent Turdball stood up as a minister in parliament to reply to a question in QT, or to make a speech, he always seemed to revel in his own oratory prowess, waffling incessantly much to his own delight, and that of his, apparently, less well educated comrades in arms from the rabid right.
Jules “Medusa” Bitch-chops being a case in point, who always looked at him like a lovestruck schoolgirl, every time he opened his caviarhole.(Cake is too down market for the Turdball 🙄 )
His style, that of one born to rule; full of self aggrandised condescension. 😛
But after watching him, on the first sitting day of his PMship, I realised that like everything else about him, his alleged and aforementioned oratory prowess is just another myth 😯
Now it may seem a small and somewhat insignificant point, but when talking about Taxi drivers and cleaners who worked much harder than he does, for far less money 😯 he made a grammatically bad and glaring misquote, of a well known and oft quoted saying 😯
The quote in question is; “There but for the grace of God, go I.”
But the Turdball’s rendition was “There but for the grace of God, goes me!”
Now as I said it may well be seen as a small thing, but since his Coup d’é-arse (The forced overthrow of Abbott 😯 ), I have been paying attention to the “fabulous one”, and have come to the grand realisation that his command of the English language is not what it’s cracked up to be 😯
In fact, he is only a master of saying… well… nothing!
Now I know that I have been somewhat distracted over the last few weeks, and I am happy to stand corrected, but I have yet to hear him actually answer 1 question in QT. ❓
And all that Turdball’s polliwaffle has proved, is that, despite the current public perception of our less than glorious leader, encouraged in large part by the love affair that our, also less than glorious, MSM are having with him, it’s nothing more than another almighty con job to further perpetuate the ever increasing list of Turdball myths.
There is no question that he has sold his soul, if in fact he ever had one, to the rabid right devil, for the express purpose of gaining the leadership of the LNP, and nothing more.
Now we see him strutting the world stage, at CHOGAM, and about to represent us (Ugh ) at the UN CC conference in Paris 😯 and already, the myth of oratory prowess has given way to gross polliwaffle, and outright lies. 😡
His claim that Shorten’s 45% target is, amongst other things, “Heroic”, is not only stupid and misleading, but strange, coming from one who hasn’t even got the balls to to stand up to the rabid right of the party he pretends to lead, and lies almost as much as Abbott, albeit with all the skill and expertise of a professional used car salesman, making out he’s your best friend, while stealing the food from your children’s mouths (While they’re still chewing it 😯 ), but hasn’t even got the strength of character to stand by his own (alleged) principles/beliefs! ❓
The honeymoon should be well and truly over, except for the fact that Muddick, and the enamoured Australian MSM are supplying viagra by the bucket load, to help Malcontent keep it up 😯 until the election, at which time, there’s a better than even chance that the rabid right will rise up, to wrest back the leadership for either The mad monk 😯 , or the equally as rabid, and just as mad, Snott Morescum 👿
But I digress 😯
So even though we all thought that the embarrassment was over with the long overdue demise of “Idiot Boy”, Paris could well prove to be yet another monumental international embarrassment, as Turdball tries to lie his way through the conference, spruiking the mendacious GHunt’s laughingly named “Direct Action” plan, 🙄 Which Turdball himself referred to in glowingly derogatory terms 😯 before he was forced to accept and sell it as something that has his full support.
Now I’m sure that Tudball saw Paris as a welcome distraction from the cracks appearing, at home, over that other Malcontent Be-Rough, and his confession on 60 Minutes, WRT contravening the criminal code, in soliciting one James Ashby to steal parts of the then speaker, Peter Slipper’s diary, which is casting big black clouds over the Turdball’s political judgement, not to mention his “Captains picks”. 😛
But the truth is that no matter how much he tries to sell the “Direct Action” lemon, to the assembled leaders of the “Free world”, and vocalises his support at home, for the mendacious (some would say criminal) Malcontent Be-Rough, all that he will produce is more of the same lies and spin of his predecessor, and anyone with even half a brain will know that it’s…
Not Oratory prowess… just waffle!
I trust no one who tries to win me over by charm. Especially one that refuses to defend their own stated beliefs.

Well said Truthy,
Good to see you back at the writing desk serving it out to the silvery mouthed peacock.
I have been posting a few comments at the Guardian of late – generally in relation to AGW.
On the subject of media pied piper Turnbull; this reply contained an interesting reminder of Turnbull’s past unsavory practices: http://discussion.theguardian.com/comment-permalink/64155001
A bit of history – the internet never forgets.
FAI case: “The suit dates back to when Mr Turnbull was insurer FAI’s financial adviser during its takeover by HIH eight years ago [1999]…. accused of withholding information about FAI’s financial health and failing to advise HIH about “illusory profits” in FAI’s accounts. The reinsurance contracts enabled the company to turn losses into profits.”
Raging Turnbull (SMH)
Considering the LNP pursued Gillard through TURC over events of 20+ years ago, Turnbull’s past shonky deals and bastardry should not remain buried.

Absolutely spot on Truthy. The embarrassing pics of Turnbull on TV laying that HUGE wreath in memory of the Paris victims was ludicrous ! John Key had three or four large white roses.. Far more class there. Turnbull seemed quite unsure of himself on one of his ‘ where’s the camera walks’ and was looking around for John Key.. (His new best friend), but had to settle for Lucy beside him instead.
Just a thought regarding the Turnbull ‘ heel lift ‘ whilst Pollywaffling…. Did you know that high heeled shoes were first designed to be worn for the male aristocracy ? .. To lift them above mere peasants like us. Bet twinkle toes is sorry they went out of fashion before he got to wear them ! LOL. Although I’m willing to bet that he still wears the perfumery… To mask his Rainbow Farts.. They’re “a breath of fresh air” according to Mdm Asbestos. 🙂 LOL

Morning all. Your observations re Turnbull are on the mark Truthy.
The more he presents himself to real public scrutiny, the more his real persona becomes obvious. Despite him acquiring great wealth he really is a light-weight without much substance.
His own mob were awake to him the first time he was LOTO. His popularity in the polls was down to 14% before he was rolled by Abbott. (who ?).
I reckon one of his major hurdles will be climate change. That will be one of the first things that will bite him, ( wait for the report on how solar is going in California to rear it`s head in the Paris conference to really destroy his and Hunt`s pathetic Direct Action scam ), followed by the Brough saga.
By the way I still think he set Brough up so as he could sack him, Two reasons, to make him (Turnbull), look tough, and if Brough was to survive the AFP ‘investigation’ (which the grub probably will ), he will always be seen as a serious rival in Turnbull`s view.
When people realise just how many dodgey deals Turnbull was/is involved in, some of which you mentioned above , hopefully his stay will be shorter than Abbott`s (who ?).
Cheers 🙂

Morning JJ 🙂 and welcome to TSM 🙂
Thanks for your comment 😎
I think a lot of Turdball’s popularity is firstly because he’s not Abbott 😯 and the sheeple are just so glad to have someone who sounds positive, even though many have not yet realised that he has the same bad policies, just pushed by a slicker salesman 🙄 but as I said in my post, and as you also alluded to, Muddick and the MSM are working overtime to sell him as the greatest thing since sliced bread 😯 conveniently ignoring the many skeletons in his Point Piper closet 👿
Of course Muddick’s newspolls are also a fine tool by which to manipulate the sheeples, as most want to be on what they perceive to be the winning team, and there are strong rumours around that the Morgan polls, previously regarded by many as the most reliable of polls, have a personal and vested interest in Turdball, hence their numbers being even more way out than Muddick’s 😯
There is also the fact that many either don’t remember or don’t know of his involvement in such sleazy deals as “Utegate”, Godwyn Grech and cloud seeding etc etc, but I’m sure they will be reminded of, or enlightened on many of these little corruptions prior to the next election 😉
They are just a few ideas, to answer your question, and I hope that helps 🙂
I also hope that you can join our conversations again 🙂

Then there are those that get overawed by the fact that he has obscene amounts of money, not realising that 99.9% of those that have that kind of money got it by being ruthless and in many cases corrupt, and Malcontent’s past would indicate that he is both, aided and abetted by his so called “charm” 😈

The problem with The Duke of Double Bay is that a lot of folk who would be undecided or marginal Labor think he’s charming compared the dog turd on a stick that was the previous PM, and because Ball Scrotum is about as inspiring as a fart in the bath, as are many of his policies at the moment, Captain Caviar will be a likely winner.

But it will not last. This mob are answerable to ALL Australians and unlike when Abbott (who)? was around, I sense a stirring in the MSM camp as they smell another coup just around the corner.
The simple fact is Turnbull has too much baggage and having sold his soul for the top job, he really had nothing to give, to keep this unprincipled mob in check, especially when the real pressure applies itself when he starts to drop Abbotts policies, which he must do shortly, or he will be seen as just more of the same, only more polite.
