    Clarke was a comic genius, I don’t know anything about Mr Dawes but I presume he is also a real comic talent. The two of them together commentary on the Australian political arena was brilliance. The insight and clever and endlessly subtle needles at the stupidity of the politics was just wonderful. Never has anyone spoken so much truth veiled in humour about political bureaucratic BS in human history. If these guys had run the country greed and stupidity would not have for so long.

      I've recently discovered these guys since the infamous "front fell off" episode, and what you've just said echoes my exact thoughts. I'm Irish btw, also learning that your governments are equally as inept as our own through comedy. Brilliant.

      It was the general anesthetic that did it for me.

      Lincoln also said of General Pope, when Pope rather pompously proclaimed that his headquarters was in the saddle, "The problem with General Pope is that his Headqaurters are where his hind quarters are supposed to be"

    Australian economy is NOT doing well. The fact that the RBA decided to cut IR by 50 bps says it all really.
    Btw, headline unemployment rate doesn't really mean much. you can save your breath, if you plan to bring that up as an argument.

    Bill Shorten is obviously a fan of you two, as yesterday he told Sky News [in relation to Peter Slipper] that he has not heard Julia Gillard's comments on the matter, but whatever it is, he agrees with it, and "I'm sure she's right". Straight out of Clarke & Dawe.

      Yes, but it was generally specific.
      Or specifically generals.
      I'm not entirely sure which. Maybe it was both.

      I don't think von Ribbentrop was a general. He was the foreign minister, and if he had any military rank, I would assume it would just be honorary.
