But there’s hope down the track folks, didn’t Swannie promise to get rid of the nasty Deficit? Truly, I swear he made that ill-advised vow several times earlier this year.
I expect Gloria The Parrot will now wittily dub him Swan-liar
Hate to rain on the deficit’s parade FD….But I seem to recall, that despite being sorely abused and having his bag callously thrown on the roof of the bike shed…..he still didn’t win the prize. 🙁
However, now that he’s bigger, uglier and altogether better at street fighting and looting….. Perhaps he can twist a few cartoonist’s arms and come out on top. 😎
