Another One Bites the Dust

Many of my political heroes have a tendancy to fall from their extremely high perches and die a vicious political (or potentially literal) death. For example: JFK, Gough Whitlam, the Australian Democrats, Mark Latham and King Leonidas.

Now, to that glorious list of heroes, I now have to add Troy "The Omnibus" Buswell recently resigned leader of the WA Liberal party.

Why was he unceremoniously dethroned from the WA Liberal party? Because he sniffed a woman's chair and snapped another woman's bra. This was most likely prior to being elected leader so surely, why should that affect anything?

Prior to Latham become Labor leader, he punched dodgy taxi drivers, afterward he gave old monobrowed Prime Ministers Man-Shakes (like a hand shake, just far, far, far manlier).

Leonidas killed wolves in the freezing cold wearing nothing but a loincloth prior to becoming king, afterward he kicked an Iranian guy down a bottomless pit before single-handedly owning a Persian army by himself (also while wearing nothing but a loincloth and possibly now with the addition of a cape).

Alpha Males like the School Buswell and Leonidas can't help themselves but to assert their Übermenschiality. Its just simple human nature that the Alpha Male acts like a REAL MAN(!) while the Omega Male acts like a softcock before backstabbing the Alpha Male. Just as Leonidas had his Ephialtes (the short, crippled hunchback, Gollum-like guy), the Shuttle Buswell had his in the form of jealous, short Gollum-like Paul "I'm a Gay" Omodei. Pauly O totally couldn't handle being defeated by the Buswell so he got his little flying monkeys ala the Wizard of Oz to dig up dirt on his uberman actions to make everyone without as much testosterone as the Bus epic jealous.

As a result, all my Buswell campaign material I was going for forward on to his office for the upcoming state election is now totally worthless. What am I going to do with the crates full of badges I made with the slogan "Get on board! Ride the Buswell!" now? The T-Shirt, badge and bumper sticker combo would have blown Kevin07 out of the water! "I'm in my car but I'm on board the Buswell" bumper stickers anyone?

Perhaps a couple of election posters will reconvince the Libs to reinstate him to leadership.


Fun Fact: Buswell's wife is Asian. AZN PRIDE REPRESENT!
