Dear SPQR,

Ita's lisp was endearing
And her eyes are divine
But like her or lump her
Tall Poppies will shine!

Dear Hasbeen,

As for our PM:

Julia's bum's not so big
Though some need to complain
But at least she can lead
'Cause she's got a beaut brain!

Nah Poirot, it just proves you haven't seen our Julia from the right angles.

Only one problem there Lexi, no one has taught her you need to put the damn thing in gear to get it to work.

See her latest brain in mouth in the Northern Territory.

Dear Hasbeen,

At least she's not in the same class as
the rest of them: mediocrity! ;)

Poirot, "Please link to any occasion where I have "laughed" at Julia's 'thunderous caboose' (your words)"

The point is that you would never make fun of Julia Gillard but you stoop to make fun of Ita Buttrose, the Australian of the Year. Hypocrisy.

BTW, arguably Julia's thunderous caboose is largely ;) of her own making. Ita's speech impediment was beyond her control and she has faced many challenges overcoming it.

onthebeach,

The point is that you're being a pedantic "..." who's trying to pick an argument.

I was reacting to SPQR's liking for ladies with lisps....and joshing with him a bit - as you know.

Ita had nothing to do with my post to SPQR.

(Instead of butting in and commentating on my playful postings - you should mind yer own beeswax :)
