Have you read the article in The Australian calling Latham a dead parrot.

The thing about political dead parrots is that their supporters stoutly maintain that they are not dead at all. In the words of the immortal Monty Python television sketch, their parrot is not dead -- just "resting", or "pining" or "stunned". The rest of the world, however, knows that in the words of the purchaser of the parrot in that sketch: "He's not pining! He's passed on! This parrot is no more! This is an ex-parrot!!"

I'm hoping Labor won't realise it has an "ex-parrot" until AFTER the next election.
