Bolt threatens fresh column
Uh-oh. Andrew Bolt just emailed my boss (CCing me) saying he is considering writing about my activities. The thing is, he thinks I wrote the emails that sucked him in — which is not true. But that never stopped him before.
Stay brave and true, Rob!
He has total egg on his face and wants to lash out.
He’s also got NOTHING.
We’re right behind you, Rob.
So he’s going to publically admit that he talks out of his arse and got sucked in? That’s a refreshing attitude. Please write about me too Bolty. As a former Liberal who has left the firm to consort with the sorts of evil people who frequent this website I fully expect an entire column you bastard.
What’s wrong with him? Can’t he read?
This morning, what should lob into my inbox (from an anonymous source) but a hilarious series of emails between half a dozen people.
Dickhead.
Don’t worry Rob. There are too many people all over this for him to attempt to publish anything defamatory.
Mind you, if his research skills are on par with Hendo, you could be in for some trouble ;)
-A-
Word has come down from the Lib/Conservative powers that be to just drop this whole thing. The Melb Uni crew will be disciplined and hopefully, as far as they are concerned, Pandagate will fade away faster than Howard Overboard.
I will back Rob Corr to the hilt with all the meagre powers at my dispossal.
The crew might be across this, but is Bolt? It would be funny if he does lash out in his column and keeps the mirth flowing… Bonus points if he trips over and “defames” you…
Does Bolt really take himself so seriously that he thinks a Labor MP would care what he has to say?
Besides, if he does a hatchet job on you, you’ll gain folk-hero status, with fame akin to ms fits.
You didn’t write the emails OK, so you’re off the hook on that one .
However it’s an open secret that Bolty has incontrovertible evidence that your grubby little paws were all over “The Hitler Diaries”.
Go on, encourage Bolt into writing about your “activities”. Then Andy, like Mandy and Alex, will find out more the hard way about online asymmetrical engagements.
That’s the thing that gets me most – just how clueless they all are about both the technology and culture of the web generally, and the blogosphere in particular.
Yes, Rob, we know you didn’t write the spoof mails, but it wouldn’t matter whether you did or not.
Rob, given Bolt’s contact of your employer, it would appear that you have been defamed with a potential for measurable loss of income and/or reputation.
Didn’t Johnny “Lew” Cochrane threaten the same thing to MsF in terms of contacting Ch 9? Anyone noticing a theme, here? “Criticise us and we will try to get you fired from your job.”
Let the games begin.
-weez
No, how about “Don’t let the games begin.”
Jesus. Like Yasser Arafat, it is dead and then not-dead and then existing only on life support, and then dead again.
Honestly, wtf. You have my support.
Robert, why don’t you just copy the latest Rustyisms to the blog?
If you want anything mirrored, let me know.
-weez
Man, if this proverbial all hits the fan while we’re in exams, I will not be impressed!
Andrew Bolt: seriously, why? I know you don’t have anything more important to do, but surely there’s something more interesting out there for you?
Rob, if he does write that column, it will surely be a keepsake. A definite contender to frame and send ’straight to the pool room’.
Ditto with Rowen, Torre and Raena. I don’t think you’ll be wanting for support.
Regarding Bolt I am with Daily Flute on this one.
The Wank that Would Not Die
Just when you thought everyone was content to let it go. In which Andrew Bolt uses his position to intimidate uni students (oh, pot! kettle!), and Crikey gets the scent. …
Thanks Guido, you can’t get sued for calling a chair an arsehole I hope.
Perhaps it would be better for all concerned if we all quietened down a bit. Rob knows he has a swag of support, but this can’t be fun.
Like Yasser Arafat! Genius.
For the life of me though I can’t figure out how Bolt could even partly tell the tale without looking like a right twat. If he can manage it, he’s a better writer than I give him credit for.
[Passing yourself off as an MP is a bad idea. Your IP address has been recorded.]
You don’t get to be an upper house MP without a lot of powerful factional support.
I can’t believe they all fell for that stuff. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! It’s perfectly clear who wrote those emails. (and it wasn’t Mr Corr) How, how, how could they be so foolish? That is just so unbelievably embarrasing. Good lord.
It’ s ok I think The Senator has got more ‘driving’ legal concerns at the moment.
Are you doing what Two Cents do and removing posts.. Do you, or do you not work for Senator Webber’s staffer?
I removed that post because you claimed to be Senator Webber.
Yasser: He’s not removing posts, just pointless comments. Why aren’t you dead?
Rob: Wow, it’s like you’re a celebrity! Nice work, man, Nice. Work!
Has the Young Liberal lass, Miranda-Whatsit, done anything seriously wrong apart from a bit of Argy-Bargy at the polling booth. The whole thing strikes me as a storm in a tea-cup, but then again, they are the best kind.
Do you update your blog from Senator Ruth Webber’s office?
Are Australian taxpayers paying you to vilify teenage girls? What does Senator Ruth Webber think of your unhealthy Miranda Airey-Branson fettish?
I am on a study break. I have not vilified anyone, nor do I have a “fetish” for a woman who thinks Andrew Bolt is sexy.
Crikey! Corr-blimey!
Crikey, it’s another one of those ‘gates’, and someone seems to trying to shut it after most of young Miranda’s horses have bolted?
