Please note that the second last Sideshow this Saturday night is on at the extra-unspecial time of 11:25pm!
Regular jokestream is now being resumed…
Speaking at a campaign rally, Peter Costello’s wife Tanya said most people only saw the Treasurer, not the man she fell in love with. She sees someone “who cares deeply about other people, lying awake at night tossing and turning as he worries about people’s jobs, people’s situations.” Of course, we all know he’s thinking about interest rates while he’s tossing – and he’s turning so he doesn’t have to sleep in the wet patch.
Costello’s actually a soft, warm, new age guy – he just pretends to be a fucking prick.
Interesting: he spends all night worrying, but all day smirking.
The wives of Peter Costello and Malcolm Turnbull have come out with glowing tributes to their husbands. Good news for Peter and Malcolm, looks like they’ve each got one vote locked in!
Tanya Costello said that she loved the fact that hubby Peter could laugh at himself. Yeah, he finds himself hilarious.
According to Tanya, Peter rehearses speeches and cracks funny lines in the shower. He calls his rubber duck Mr Squeaker. / He calls the shampoo Mr Speaker.
According to Tanya, Peter cracks funny lines in the shower. And you should see his white elephant impression!
Tanya also admires his intelligence, his compassion and “the way he can laugh at himself”. It’s hard not to join in when everyone else is laughing at him…
She had also heard him rehearsing “lots of speeches and funny lines in the shower.” Funny lines like “Australians are better off than ever”, “we care about Aussie families”, and “Yes John, of course I respect you as a leader”.
Last week, Malcolm Turnbull’s wife Lucy wrote a letter to voters in Wentworth telling them about the man SHE loves. Apparently Malcolm isn’t a toff, didn’t have a privileged childhood, is all about making a contribution, and has a strong feminist side. He’s also a black lesbian single mother who loves puppies.
In a letter to his constituents, Lucy Turnbull wrote that her hubby Malcolm has a strong feminist side. That’s why he’s in the Liberal Party – solidarity, sisters! / He reckons those feminists are hot!
Malcolm has been “everything and more you would expect from a loving father.” There’s only one thing that he really hates, and that’s the environment.
Inspired by all the spousal support, Peter Garrett’s wife Doris has chimed in, saying that people should stop picking on hubbie for his dumb political mistakes, and just focus on all the great things he stood for when he still had principles.
Similarly, Janette Howard says that Johnny isn’t just a great leader, an empassioned politician, and a strong parliamentarian – he’s also a top root. / – he’s also an expert at cunnilingus.
Janette Howard also came out in support of the PM’s campaign, saying “NOOO! MY GARDEN! I’VE JUST HAD THE DRAPES CHANGED! OH THE HUMANITY!”
Therese Rein also came out in support of Kevin Rudd’s campaign, saying “Apparently there’s some sort of election on… so, if we have to vote, my hubby’s as good as anyone”.
Tony Abbott was also going to get us to hear a few words from his son, but it turned out to be someone else’s…
Peter Costello’s got to get his wife to campaign for him, because his brother’s busy campaigning for Labor.
Julia Gillard’s boyfriend has come out on the campaign trail too, assuring us she is far from frigid…

In the A.C.T, a Year 10 student has been given permission to take cigarette breaks at school because her doctor says she’s clinically addicted to nicotine. And patches just are like so last season.
Of course, it is totally illegal to give cigarettes to anyone under 18, but the school lets the 16 year-old smoke a pack a day between classes to relieve her stress. After all, who’s ever heard of a stressed 16 year old?
She’s not allowed to smoke them near other students – she has to take them to the injecting room.
Other stressed students are also being given breaks to bite their nails or self-harm.
“As soon as I’ve got a cigarette in my hand, I’m calmer,” she said. “And I’m calmest of all when I have a smoke just after I shoot up.”
In fact if she misses a smoko she gets detention.
Good to hear she’s learning a skill that’ll be useful in the workplace.
She’s also allowed to take drugs and drink – so long as she stays under .05.
Her school results have improved markedly, although her medical test results… not so good.
The mother started rewarding her daughter with cigs if she did her chores. Like taking out the rubbish, cleaning her room, or shooting mummy full of smack.
The mother started rewarding her daughter with ciggies
if she did her chores and behaved at school. She was looking for something low in sugar and fats. / Well at least it’s not lollies.
Her mother said, “We worried she wasn’t going to finish Year 10 if she couldn’t smoke.” Now, she’ll make it through Year 10, and maybe even to 40.
The girl says it’s all part of her studies. She’s studying to be a drug-addict. / bogan. / total fuck-up. / crack-whore.
Other students are frantically trying to smoke as many cigarettes as possible to get clinically addicted too.
The doctor also prescribes cigarettes as a cure for cancer. It’s long-term and painful, but the cure is permanent.
Several other students are allowed to take the substances they’re addicted to. There’s one on speed, a couple on heroin, and one who has to spend every recess watching Oprah.
