I always knew there was something about Morris Iemma I didn't like - ever since he took over as Premier of New South Wales from crowd favourite Bob Carr, there's been something a bit off about him. Maybe it's the vacant, glassy stare he plasters on for every press conference. Maybe it's that he has the personality of a dry sponge. Maybe it's that when he got the job of Premier everyone in his electorate said "Morris who? Never heard of him."

But now I have an exact reason - he's a fuckwit. Let me set this up; Iemma's electorate is Punchbowl, which isn't a very rich area. Vaucluse is a much wealthier part of town, and far enough north for the people there to look down on those in Punchbowl. At a recent Labor party dinner he remarked that the comedian who introduced him was "the first person to move from Punchbowl to Vaucluse without a balaclava". Sure, it's a bit funny but why is he shitting all over the people in his own electorate?

Afterwards, when he was asked why he would make such a stupid comment, he said that it was a joke and everyone should lighten up. "No one at the function was upset"... no, you're right. They weren't upset because it was a $500 a head dinner, and no one from Punchbowl could afford to go. My my, isn't it maaaaarvellous to be so very rich, Morris?
