Landeryou's chicken fetish

We have previously reported that Landeryou has a fondness for deformed chicken.

His fetish for chicken has again caused public outrage.

TS is especially worried for Landeryou's health. It was not long ago reported that Landeryou suffers various health problems, such as cranial gigantism, antisocial personality disorder (abbreviated APD or ASPD), delusions, and narcissism.

On other matters, we were going to release the new happy snaps of Landeryou enjoying his freedom. But on second thoughts we decided to delay publication - this will drive Andy nuts.

This explains everything.

Antisocial personality disorder (abbreviated APD or ASPD)

is a psychiatric diagnosis in the DSM-IV-TR recognizable by the disordered individual's impulsive behavior, disregard for social norms, and indifference to the rights and feelings of others.

Sounds like Andy...

Can't wait for the Landeryou happy snaps, but does he really live in Brunswick?

A friend of mine does volunteer work with a group from their church, looking after what she calls "hopeless cases" who live in the Housing Commission tower block between Sydney Road and the rail line at Jewell. She was at Melbourne Uni during the reign of terror and says she keeps recognising Landeryou at the flats.

Does he live there or does he just go along for the free meals Vinnies provide?

Day three of the election campaign, and what does the fat boy have on his site? A story ripped off from The Age on Gavan O'Connor (doesn't his website say "Boycott The Age"?), a YouTube link and a promise of yet more reporting on student politics irrelvancies to come.

How will it drive Landeryou nuts? If anything, he'll simply assume you're bullshitting and you don't really have a picture.

Nuts... mmmmmm! Nuts make good stuffing for poultry. Andy is drooling over his keyboard. Watch out Andy! You'll short your system!

I met a Filthia at Draculas Theatre Restaurant in Carlton. She was totally obnoxious. Of course that's what she was paid to do and the clients loved her.

Can recommend readers of this blog visit Draculas some time. Filthy blog readers being greeted by Filthia.

Pauline Hanson likes Draculas in Queensland. You can perve at her on the Draculas web site. Will Pauline make it into the Senate? I think she will. She's gorgeous.

Andrew Landeryou has a scoop today. He revealed before anyone else that Brendan O'Connor plans to stand as an Independent candidate for the federal seat of Corio. Should be an interesting contest. My cattery is in Corio so all of us cats will be taking a keen interest. No sign of Slanderyou. I want to eat him but he or she is too frightened to pay a visit.

Anonymous said...

catter8 got it wrong. It is Gavan O'Connor and not Brendan O'Connor. The other O'Connor is the MHR for the seat of Gorton I think. This is what Landeryou put on his blog this morning:

Thursday, 18 October 2007
RATTY: Morose Multi-Millionaire Gavan O'Connor Betrays The Party That Gave Him Everything To Prove His Personal Vote Is Sweet FA

The former Labor member for Corio - deposed by local Party members who were tired of his time-serving bludging approach - Gavan O'Connor has announced his candidacy as an "independent" candidate.

Appropriately his announcement occurred at a yacht club, where multi-millionaires like him live the high life on the Bay. In their case, they've earned the bucks the hard way. Gavan's pulled his multi-million dollar fortune from parliamentary superannuation, while other parts of his family have been convicted of fraud offences attracting long jail sentences.

FRAUDSTER

Mario Siketa - his brother in law and close friend - was sentenced to twenty six months jail last year and ordered to pay a pecuniary penalty of $280,872.75 after being convicted for taking kick-backs when working for Wilson Parking.

Despite a $150,000 salary, O'Connor's brother-in-law copped forty-one payments in cash in secret bribes and a jetski apparently used by the federal MP on occasion totalling $298,000.

We have asked O'Connor whether he received any financial support from his brother-in-law and how many times he used the jet-ski but have not as yet had a response.

LIAR

O'Connor's decision to run comes despite his "solemnly promising" during the ALP preselection process that if he lost that he would not rat on the Party and run as an Independent. A politician who lies. Who knew?

His selfish and insane bid for power will almost certainly derail and incinerate the surprisingly strong campaign of Darren Cheeseman, ALP candidate in the marginal seat of Corangamite. Some speculate this suits O'Connor because he is a very close friend of besieged, elderly Corangamite MP Stewart McArthur.

FLICKING THE SWITCH TO WACKO

O'Connor whose leftard credentials are well established with the exception of his belief that women who have abortions should be imprisoned is expected to be flicking the switch to Wacko in his local campaign.

With even the local Socialist Left faction appalled by his betrayal, the OC hears that O'Connor will be drawing on the support of local "anti-flouride" activists who believe that the use of flouride in our water supply is a sinister method of state control of our lives.

Long-time former electorate officer and Socialist Leftard Judy Loney is believed to have quit O'Connor's office last night in disgust at his decision, creating an opportunity for moonbats of many different persuasions to swoop upon the O'Connor campaign for the imprisonment of women who have abortions and the immediate cessation of the use of flouride in water.

O'CONNOR, FRAUDSTERS AND THE ULTRA RIGHT

While Team Marles is probably upset about his decision to run. The OC welcomes it. We celebrate it. This is the election horse-whipping Gavan O'Connor had to have.

In this poll, we will get to have a thorough examination of:

■ O'Connor's role in a fraud that led to his brother-in-law's imprisonment (still in jail);

■ O'Connor's role in corrupting ALP memberships including branch-stacking;

■ O'Connor's expenditure of taxpayer funds for self-promotion, luxurious overseas travel and his office of filth;

■ O'Connor's participation in a campaign of sleaze including teaming up with embittered ex-girlfriends of political opponents;

■ O'Connor's commitment to imprison women who choose to have an abortion; and

So very much more.

Game on.

The Landeryou Blog is again first with the latest, and it is a disgrace Andrew has not been nominated this year for a Walkley award, having won the inaugural Walkley Blog Award last year. It seems the smear campaign from this blog of filth (Slanderyou should perform with Filthia at Draculas)has influenced the Walkley judges.

To get back with the OC's latest scoop. The Landeryou blog predicted before anyone else that O'Connor would rat in Corio. Excellent sources and excelllent journalism.
Read below the comment from today's Aged, which only goes to prove how good the Landeryou blog is:

NUKED: Labor's Rat of Revenge Excoriated In Sunday Age // Stirring Invective Makes OC Look Second Rate // We Pledge To Do Better

gavanoconnorcur

We have rarely before felt the urge to quote the Sunday Age at any length. But today, for your reading pleasure, we republish its blistering nuclear annihilation of disgraced Labor rat Gavan O'Connor, unabridged, without further comment.
More than he can chew

Jason Koutsoukis
October 21, 2007

THE vote was unanimous. The inaugural winner of the Mal Colston Medal for Treachery has gone to … Gavan O'Connor.

Liberals everywhere have been falling over themselves in the stampede to congratulate O'Connor, the venal hypocrite who waited until last Thursday to rat on his party and do the most damage possible to those friends and colleagues he has worked alongside for the past decade.

In case you've never heard of O'Connor, he's the erstwhile Labor MP who is now the independent candidate for Corio, which covers Geelong. Launching his campaign last week, O'Connor accused his former party of branch stacking, money laundering and of making grubby political deals.

O'Connor's transformation from a man of principle and integrity to one deluded by self-interest and greed is a salutary lesson in how politics can corrupt. Make no mistake, O'Connor destroyed himself last Thursday, and everything he once stood for.

He has chosen a road at the end of which he will find only bitterness and misery.

He may not regret his decision today, or tomorrow. But whoever wins the federal election, O'Connor will be haunted by the knowledge that he betrayed the party that made him. It will itch and scratch him like a hair shirt, one he will never be able to take off.

joho200 The best description I have ever heard of what it means to belong to a political party was given by John Howard during his 2005 Christmas valedictory speech to Parliament.

Expressing his thanks for the year's work put in by the Liberal Party organisation, Howard digressed. "We each owe our places in these houses to the support of our party organisations," Howard said.

"I have no delusions of grandeur: if I had not been the endorsed Liberal candidate for Bennelong in 1974, I would never have arrived here … I never forget what I owe to the Liberal Party, any more than anybody on the other side should ever forget what they owe to the Labor Party.

"I respect that in somebody, and I despise those people who throw dirt in the faces of the people who brought them into public prominence."

Strong words, but true, and so the Labor Party will deservedly despise O'Connor.

Way back in 1990, O'Connor was a nobody. A local councillor from Colac, he was given a job in the electorate office of then Labor senator John Button, who had an electorate office in Geelong.

With a taxpayer-funded salary in his pocket (a largesse bestowed on him by the Labor Party), O'Connor used his position to make sure he won Labor preselection for Corio for the 1993 election.

He then used that same job to make sure he won the seat itself once the election was called.

Very few first-time candidates have the luxury of being able to receive a generous salary to campaign full-time (for three whole years), but it was a luxury afforded to O'Connor and one he has conveniently forgotten.

O'Connor would still be a nobody were it not for his party and its members, who sent him to Canberra in 1993 and kept him there at the four subsequent elections.

After he loses this election, which he surely will, O'Connor will be able to retire on a fat pension indexed for the rest of his life, plus a massive lump sum up front. He owes all of that to the ALP.

One can understand the basis of O'Connor's grievance, and why he was so upset at being dumped.

A hard-working, likeable, generous person, O'Connor was a popular local member. But in the end, whatever the flaws of Labor's factional system, O'Connor lost control of his branches.

He was outplayed by a younger, more energetic and better- organised candidate by the name of Richard Marles, and he lost.

O'Connor cried foul, but when the time came to challenge the result in March 2006, he declined. O'Connor has produced not a single piece of credible evidence to support the increasingly wild claims he makes about the preselection process that claimed him.

Nor is Marles without claim to represent the people of Geelong. A talented solicitor and assistant secretary of the ACTU, Marles grew up in Geelong and has lived in the city for the past 10 years.

At 40, Marles' best years are ahead of him. Turning 60 in December, O'Connor's best years are behind him.

O'Connor may have been a perfectly able MP and a decent person, but his political skills and acumen have hardly set Canberra on fire. In 14 years, he has scored not one major political victory over the Coalition, and has made not a single policy contribution of any significance.

O'Connor knew the rules of the game when he entered politics. He has played that game willingly, being unafraid over the years to undermine those he deemed unfit for service.

Former leader Kim Beazley was one of those whom O'Connor worked tirelessly to remove almost from the day Beazley took over as Labor leader.

Nor is O'Connor the first in the history of Australian politics to lose preselection. Former federal Liberal MP David Connolly lost preselection for the Sydney seat of Bradfield to Brendan Nelson before the 1996 election.

The loss hurt Connolly, who was a friend of John Howard. But he kept his mouth shut, and Howard looked after him once he became Prime Minister, justly rewarding him with a plum overseas posting.

Such doors will forever be closed to O'Connor. The biggest splash of his political career, the only time he was ever the focus of an evening news story outside his home city of Geelong, was the way he ended it.

Game on.

STALINISM ALIVE AND WELL: No Need For Nostalgia, Democracy USSR Style Has Been Found In A Union Office In North Melbourne

I can't imagine why it is that some people are so critical of some trade unions.

Maybe it's the special approach to the democratic process adopted by the Socialist Left ones.

This email sent last Monday speaks volumes about the fetid undemocratic culture in the Socialist Left controlled Victorian branch of the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union:

This week the AEC will send out nomination forms to National Councillors for the above positions. This is for the election of Sue Lines and Troy Burton as Assistant National Secretaries. Sue and Troy will nominate (you will not need to do anything) and due process will ensure they are duly elected. (OC: Yeh, a very vigorous democratic process it looks like. If anyone other than Sue or Troy nominates, we know what happens next.)

if team slanderyou resorts to the same shady sleazy post deleting and alteration that fat boy engages in they are only sinking to his his level.
