Staggered that people watch him.
Normally I run a mile but after he went the early crow last night I thought I’d take a look.

and we don't know who that is... can't be important but can be deliriously happy that I quote him.. Rohan Dean...
Probably never happen.See Blot has moved to country Victoria. Wonder if there are any brown snakes in his new neighbourhood. A poisonous snake, bitten by a poisonous snake. Has a nice ring to it.
Mark Latham once led the ALP, people change. I should probably misquote Churchill to prove my point.It must grate Laborites that the only political party Bolt has worked for is the ALP. He was Bob Hawke’s campaign manager in the 80’s & 90’s.

Bob Hawke, who is Labor’s most successful PM in history called Bolt one of his biggest influences politically. I do find it funny that one who Laborites idolise, was as thick as thieves with Bolt.

That can't be correct. Bolt only got started in journalism after Hawke's career ended. Bolt was first nationally prominent in the early 2000's on Insiders around the time of the Iraq War I think. Hawke was long retired from politics by then, only doing the occasional Labor campaign event.
You must have it the opposite way around. Bolt worked on Hawke's campaign in the 80's, before he realized being a right wing Murdoch shill was more lucrative. But it seems Bolt was only a staffer in one Labor communications team, as a 20 something intern, and probably had no relationship with Hawke beyond a handshake.
No way could you describe them as being "thick as thieves". If Bolt has said Hawke did influence him plitically it'll be along the lines of Abbott's or Latham's "tribute" to Hawke:
Bob Hawke was one of the good old "traditional" Labor types that existed before the party was taken over by "Marxist Extremists" like Shorten and Albanese. If Hawke were alive today he'd be a Liberal or One Nation.
Gray found Bolt a job with aNiMaLS, the feared Labor attack machine of the Hawke and Keating years. aNiMaLS was the moniker given to the more prosaic, official title of National Media Liaison Service. But aNiMaLS was a highly political unit led by Labor apparatchiks which specialised in opposition research, rapid tactical response and marginal seat campaigning. Other alumni of aNiMaLS include the respected and ubiquitous David Epstein (a former chief of staff to Kevin Rudd); Labor veteran Colin Campbell; Rosemary Church, now a presenter with CNN; Col Parkes; and the highly-regarded Jack Lake, a long time Labor operative and also most recently a former senior advisor to Kevin Rudd.
Bolt was on Hawke’s election campaign in 2 elections.
He was also a staffer for the ALP’s federal MP John Reeves, then Gary Gray, who later became the ALP’s National Secretary & then the ALP opposition leader in NT, Bob Collins.
He also married a sister of an ALP MP.
Keating was also very close to Bolt.
If you notice that on Bolt’s show every week he has Kimberley Kitching. She is a current ALP senator who got her position due to Bill Shorten.
Kitching and Bolt are very close. Kitching has even defended Bolt legally in a previous position. Kitching is married to Andrew Landeryou, who was an ALP heavy and the son of Bill Landeryou, who was very close to Bob Hawke.

There a many examples of people who have radically changed there views on all sorts on matters, not just politics. What's relevant is the extreme rightist views of a dangerous paranoid conspiracy theorist who has been spreading his anti science neo Liberal disinformation for years.Yes, that right wing ‘The Monthly’ too....
