YESTERDAY'S HEADLINE:
Costello slams Labor as Bali bomber supporters
Federal Treasurer Peter Costello has accused the Labor Party of supporting the Bali bombers, after Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman Robert McClelland criticised Prime Minister John Howard's approach to capital punishment.
TODAY'S HEADLINE:
Rudd "lacks guts over death penalty"
PRIME Minister John Howard today accused Kevin Rudd of disloyalty and lacking nerve over his death penalty backdown.
So, there it is in black and white.
Peter Costello is frothing at the mouth over Robert McLelland's comments after McLelland criticised John Howard's approach to capital punishment by the Indonesian authorities.
John Howard then condemns Kevin Rudd for his supposed "death penalty backdown".
This sledging by the Liberal Party is becoming so bizarre - with more twists and turns than a Filipino pole dancer.
If this Liberal rhetoric is stripped bare of its nonsense, it seems that John Howard is supporting his deputy Peter Costello for condemning Kevin Rudd and at the same time is condemning Rudd for backing down on the issue - which, by definition, must mean that Howard is now condemning Costello for attacking Rudd, leading to the only logical conclusion that Howard must now be supporting the Bali bombers - which, of course, is the very thing which Costello accused the Labor Party of doing!
Which is all just as bloody stupid as the Liberal Party's feeble attempts over the past 48 hours to discredit Kevin Rudd's statesman-like stance over this very sensitive inter-governmental issue.
