What will probably be my favourite political quote of the year

From ABC TV Insiders on Sunday 28th June 2009:

"ANTHONY ALABANESE, LEADER OF THE HOUSE (LABOR):

The Member for Wentworth knows a dead cat when he sees one. But this one has got no bounce.

I could have sworn I was witnessing the ghost of Mark Latham. It was all there, Mr Speaker. It was all there. The jaw jutting out. All the fake aggression. All the machismo. All the "We're going well!"

Past 'sins' and present failures all rolled into 9 sentences and lobbed across the House of Reps chamber amid hoots of derisive laughter.
And not one word could Opposition Leader Big Mal Turnbull respond to with threats of kitten-based legal action.
No-one deserved it more.
