In a galaxy far away

Category: politics
Posted on: October 13, 2004 6:33 PM, by Tim Lambert

Glenn Reynolds, in a heroic leap, has apparently concluded that the election in Australia really was a referendum on Iraq and folks who don't think so must just be spinning.

One of those spinning must be Prime Minister John Howard, who told CNN that Iraq "wasn't the dominant factor" in the election victory.

Also spinning must be The Bulletin, which has eighteen pages on the election this week (including a whole page by Tim Blair). In what can only be part of a massive conspiracy by the Main Stream Media, Iraq is mentioned by name a grand total of zero times.

Also spinning must be all the people, left and right, bloggers and journalists, listed before who stated that Iraq was not a significant issue.

Reynolds seems to believe that the only person not spinning is Tim Blair in his blog. But Tim Blair in The Bulletin must be spinning. Can he both be spinning and not spinning? Perhaps some quantum uncertainty is involved.
