The Brethren still have friends in high places

Question: Just how stupid is Brendan Nelson?

Answer: Very!

He provided first-hand proof of his idiocy when he spoke in reply to The Apology in parliament on Wednesday. However, confirmation that his idiocy knows no bounds has arrived in the news that he sponsored a leader of the Exclusive Brethren sect getting a special pass to Parliament, thus giving the Brethren unfettered access to the corridors of the legislature.

The Sydney Morning Herald (14/02/2008) reports that Nelson and former Tasmanian Liberal MP Michael Ferguson sponsored a pass application for Brethren elder Stephen Hales, who is the brother of the sect's Australian leader, Bruce Hales, to roam the corridors of power in Canberra.

Dr Nelson's days as Leader of the Opposition are surely numbered.
