Sense at last

After the curious speculations of "will he- won't he?" one can only think that Peter Costello has made the right decision to quite the Parliament.

There comes a point for all of us when enough is enough, picking it is the only art!

I was however faintly bemused yesterday when he said that he felt that the present Parliament lacked a sense of humour.

Did I hear him say

"I would have thought that one  reason we were there was to entertain"?

Well, actually, I thought we paid you to govern.

Perhaps explains why some found difficulty  taking him seriously. Goes for the previous Foreign Minister, too, who never seemed to quite understand why some people didn't get his jokes.
