I... You... WTF?

catsidheQuickly running through some bookmarks, I have a quick look at what Peter Faris QC is up to.
It turns out, he has become even more of a complete frothing lunatic.
Why did the Liberals lose? Was it Workchoices? Was it the accumulation of lies? Was it arrogance? Was it simply having been in power for too long?¹ Might, just maybe, Labor have won in their own right, rather than merely accepting the default after the Liberals dropped the ball?
No:
The problem was that the Liberals became all Socialist, apparently. You may be wondering as to the evidence of this world-gone-mad occurrence, but you don't need any: Faris, from his lunar right viewpoint, saw the Liberals, such as Downer, Ruddock, Costello, and of course, Howard, as so insufficiently rabid as to practically be communists. And they lost not because Labor joined them heading right, but because they were joining Labor, heading left.
Or, in other words, Faris has been smoking something which really didn't agree with him, and it has set off the Delusions again.
It's only a pity that he has turned off the comments in his blog. They used to be good for some laughs, being typically even more insane than the usual offerings on the alter of Andrew Bolt. It seems that either someone said something too batshit insane for even Faris to countenance, or else the few dedicated Lefties who tried to argue with him finally had him yell shutupshutupshutup! and put his fingers in his ears permanently.
[1] This is John Roskam's view: the Liberals lost (that Labor might have won is not to be countenanced) was partially because of Workchoices, which he has belatedly realised was never popular at all, but mainly because people got bored of having Good, Just and Right people intheir rightful place in charge power. That's right, it wasn't the Liberals' fault: it was those ungrateful masses, but they'll learn, oh yes. And the Liberals' only proper response is to go further to the Right.
There, at least, Roskam and Faris join up again.

No:
“The entirely predictable landslide to Labor has occurred because the Liberals became a soft-Left political party. They not only moved to the centre, they crossed the centre line.”
