Things I would not do if if I were Old Mate Grabaseat
1. Say ‘the reality is’ even one single more time
2. Keep the Uffindel report secret
Come on champ, what do you think the odds are of all those Nats-in-a-cage keeping a lid on it anyway?
I want this to be private, you were saying this morning.
The more accurate phrasing would be: It suits me to keep this mess private but if I have any respect for the people who elected us I'll share this information because they clearly have questions about the content of character of this elected representative.
3. Keep reinventing history
You’ve also been reported as saying I've been really clear up-front, we're going to keep the report private and confidential. Really, OMG? Really? The reality – to coin a hackneyed-to-death phrase – is: first we've heard of it mate.
