Comment(s) of the week...

It has been a while since I have posted a comment of the week, so in an effort to make up for that, I am posting a couple, disturbingly they all come from the same person, in the same interview, taken from the same article...

Pauline Hanson... I have a severe disdain for this woman, although she is managing to make me laugh on a Friday morning whilst I wait for about 15,000 words to turn up to my desk for grading...

Wannabe Senator Hanson has had a doozy of a week in the press, not only announcing she wishes to run for the Senate, her first foray into politics since it was announced that she was a racist, saying her former offsider cooked for her, so she had sex with him (I've cooked for hundreds of women over the years, and not one of them offered such a transaction), oh and let's not forget the US Secret Service bodyguard for Clinton she met in a nightclub and embarked upon a 2 year affair with...

Sadly folks this is what Australian media has come to reporting, a really bad soap opera or Tele-Novella if you like...

Regardless of her past, her future looks... well daunting to the rest of us... So on to her comments...

Ms Hanson is a little 'wary of letting Muslims settle in Australia, unless, of course, they are Christian Muslims...' (She didn't define a Christian Muslim)

She believes David Hicks to be a 'suicide bomber that wanted to blow himself up so he could kill others...'

And perhaps my favourite... Expressed concern about Malaysia which 'had been taken over by Muslims, despite a long history of Islam in that country...'

Whilst you mull over these comments, I shall echo the words of Roland Jabbour, chairman of the Australian Arabic Council, "I think her comments are a reflection of someone who is totally ignorant...It would be a sad day if she ever succeeded in gaining a seat in Parliament again."

A Sad day Indeed...
