Conroy- Corrupt, Dangerous and Stupid

It appears that the older I get, the more amazed I am of the incompetence of our "authorities". Whether it is a Chief Commissioner's ignorant and stupid advice or childish calls from one side of Parliament to another for the resignation of another politician.

I won't suggest for a minute that I am becoming any wiser - quite the opposite in fact; I am becoming more ignorant with each passing day.

It's a sad fact that along with my ignorance, comes an expectation that our elected leaders are dumb and dodgey.

There used to be a perception that if you thought the Government were "on the sly", you were either:

a) Joking

or

b) Batshit insane and probably a member of the Greens.

Due to my increased frustration with the incompetency of our duely elected, I have tried to resist getting "caught up in it" and tried ignoring them, hence the lack of new articles on this website. Then the news broke that I was right -Steven Conroy is corrupt, dangerous and irrationally stupid.

After the smug satisfaction of being correct in my assessment of the Senator, a worrying thought entered my mind.

Why the hell is he still there?

It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots to read behind the lines of what happened here. The would be a number of unwritten "rules" for Senators. One would be "Don't accept gifts", another would be "If you DO accept gifts, DON'T get caught and DON'T give the gift giver $250 million a month after said gift."

The latter rule was rather specific, and he still broke it.

Going skiing with Kerry Stokes is not a crime. Allowing him to pay for your time on the mountain a month before giving him a massive financial windfall with no strings attached, should be.

Mr Conroy maintains that it was just a normal meeting. In Colorado. 13,641 kilometers away from your office. If the Senator was there on official business why did he pay his own way to get there? If there really was a legitimate official reason for him having to ge there, like he suggests, Why didn't the trip go on his expense account? Surely that is what it's there for?

The story just doesn't add up.

The more concerning thing is that although he has been caught pretty much red handed, and add to the fact that he is the biggest threat to Australia's freedom; one would think it would be the media's dream to crucify him until he either quits or emigrates to the UK.

But they aren't.

They are reporting on it, but where are the editorials? Where is the outrage?

Nobody likes Conroy, I doubt he even likes himself. Why isn't this a bigger deal?

Late last week, Conroy called out Tony Abbott for having a meeting with James Packer before opposing the $250 miliion dollar kickback - guess what? Tony Abbott was going to oppose it anyway because he is in OPPOSITION.

Ugh, I hope everyone realizes how hard it was for me to defend Tony Abbott. I feel dirty.

Apologies for this almost incoherent rant about a guy that nobody likes. I will now return to my hole where I am sticking my fingers in my ears whilst humming and rocking in place.

ADDENDUM:

I haven't really been able to come up with a clever name for Conroy yet. I have Kevin Dudd, Barreness Julie, Brother Abbott the list goes on (but really stops there).
If anyone can think of a clever pun for Senator Conroy let me know!
