Latham plumbs new depths

MARK Latham, who led the ALP to the last federal election, has been charged with assault and stealing after a scuffle with a newspaper photographer. The photographer wasn’t injured but Latham took his camera and dissassembled it under the age old mechanic policy “If it doesn’t work, hit it harder with a hammer” Life would be much sweeter for the ALP if they could just convince Latham and his ‘Dad’ Whitlam to go live elsewhere…anywhere but here. From Tim Blair

A bizarre footnote to the charging of Mr Latham was the appearance in the driveway of his home of a mask of a bearded man atop a white sheet. The apparent effigy was taken down on Monday afternoon.

Oh; the embarrassment of it all.
