Credibility

It amazes me how these backbench gurus of an 

ego-styled indolence - & I almost said indigence, 

but they don’t seem to suffer the lack of a penny, 

manage to become Treasury experts in critiques 

of the Opposition’s budgetary proposals - sure it 

doesn’t predispose advice of vast intelligence or 

enable predictive visions ‘graphically imbued’ by 

subtle clues as to what their agenda actually is 

We’re seeing ‘em earning re-election credits for 

better or worse, but the professed expertise will 

be absent - or worse, exposed as a calumnious 

diatribe after the event, if anyone should care a 

whit and most don’t; isn’t it an election when th’ 

debate destroys all the participants’ credibility
