Australia's Liberal Party is currently experiencing more violent, tumultous heavings than a bulimic in an earthquake. As a reasonably poor journalist, I'm going to chip in my two cents the only way I know how - through parody song lyrics. Enjoy.
(From the perspective of Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister.
To the tune of Friday, I'm in Love by The Cure)
I don't care if Malcolm's blue
Minchin's mad and Andrews too
My ETS is almost through
It's Friday, and I'm Rudd
Monday I brought in my bill
Tuesday, Wednesday Liberals spill
Thursday: Malcolm's bitter pill
It's Friday, and I'm Rudd
Saturday wait
Sunday's Insiders is too late
But Friday I am feeling great
I don't care if Abbott's back
The Mad Monk always was a hack
But Hockey could take up the slack
It's Friday, and I'm Rudd
(interlude)
Journos vie to call you dead
Grattan, Crabb get in your head
No win - that's what Uhlmann said
It's Friday, and I'm Rudd
Liberals await
More meetings to seal their fate
But horse has bolted from the gate
I watch your demise
It's a joyful surprise
To see your party so compromised
Throwing out your boss
Not giving a toss
That your conservative side will prompt election loss
You're all so afraid
Of my carbon trade
But I'll be in Copenhagen while you're here getting spayed
When you're doing this stuff
I can't get enough
'Cause it's Friday, and I'm Rudd
