THE MONDAY MAULING

Why do they do it?
I mean I know why they do it but why do they do it?!
Of course I’m talking about that wonderful phenomenon come election time of politicians dragging their spouses all over town with them in some hideous self aggrandizing homage to ‘family life’ (also known as ‘a softening of the image’)
SPARE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the deal, once upon a time, y'know back when the general population (me included) were a bit naive to the whole spin doctoring schtick - it prolly worked.
But that was twenty freakin' years ago!
It just looks sorta pathetic now unless you throw somebody like Super Ted Baillieu's wife into the mix who was all over Big Ted like hair on a cab driver's back.
I'll cop that, she was being genuinely affectionate and it was also mildly erotic watching her molest Ted at every opportunity.
Lord knows what they wooda got up to on the stage had Teddy triumphed!
That's right! It gets worse!
Come the Big Night, win lose or draw they get the whole freakin’ family on stage, all holding hands in what often looks threateningly like slow motion line dancing.
WELL DIG ME A HOLE AND CALL ME WARREN!
What if we all started doing this in our day to day jobs?
There’d be mayhem!
Imagine the pizza delivery boy turning up on your doorstep with his family in tow.
How uncomfortable would you feel at the gynecologist with the doc’s nanna, Aunt Joan & two teenage boys having a squiz?
And what about the cops rocking up to a hostage drama with the next of kin stuffed into the back of the divvy van?
They wouldn’t would they?
No!
And for very good reason I might add!
Enough is enough sez I!
What sez you?

I see you are well today and cooking in the witchen as usual.
Ohh...I dunno...I think it's nice (the politically correct family not the gyno scenario) but I'd like to see the whole shebang, you know? The mistresses, the wife's 'gardener', the make-up artists...show some real solidarity.
...not as erotic as watching Tipper and Al...Gore blimey guv'ner...talk about global warming....
I'll be back Joe.

You just know that the kids are wishing they could be anywhere else in the world except on that stage with their father.
Nobody is buying it....so give it up.
I saw Bracksy's speech and was hoping desperately that one of the kids had gotten into the champagne and would be a bit pissed or something. Now that, I wouldn't mind seeing.

"Look, I'm just one of the boys."
If Julia Gillard (top MILF!) became leader of the Fed Labs could we expect her to roll up to a tupperware party come election time?
But the whole family schtick has gotten way outta hand.
