Alexander Downer, Go Fuck Yourself
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008I guess I must be in the deplorer camp…
"As foreign minister, he made one heck of a mark, mercilessly slaying his political opponents while determining Australia’s foreign policies. Some will never forgive him and John Howard for taking Australia into Iraq. Many will admire his conviction in confronting Saddam Hussein and the scourge of terrorism. Some will deplore his role in the Tampa asylum-seeker stand-off. Many will respect his determination to foil people smuggling. Some will sigh with relief at another Howard man gone."

He looks like some sort of potato-cube.

Yes he does. Although not particularly flattering I didn’t seek out the ugliest pic I could find… this is from his wiki page.
(He is mostly starch I suspect)

Give the man some credit. He’s already explained how he doesn’t want to show off by shamelessly parading his flawless French at inappropriate junctures (unlike certain other ego-maniacs). Perhaps he has taken a similar line as minister, keeping discreetly tucked away his breathtakingly intimidating skills in tact, diplomacy and intelligence.
