Bob Hawke on Don Lane Show / Fiery Richard Carlton Interview.

[1AussieAvenger1]

and all the time bob's screwing around on his wife Hazel with that dog blanche..... how many of his ministers knew he had a mistress? sinister lying mongrel of a man was this fellow. still is.

let's face it... you can't trust any 'party politician' these days. i say all politicians should be independents and stand up for what they believe in individually instead of 'towing the party line'. such shallow and lying creature these 'party' types.

even independents are turncoats for money or favor.

[fatmeteor]

@AUSM92 A propensity for insults in the absence of facts, and you might fit the description of a mongrel too.

[fatmeteor]

@AUSM92 I guess that's why we love him, eh?

[qantas130]

Hawke was a yobbo but funny! Good on him!

[toddles9]

Hawke was a yobbo.

[toddles9]

Richard Carleton is a legend. RIP

He may have been a reporter with a reputation for impertinence, but at least he wasn't a Prime Minister with a reputation for infidelity.

I never, ever liked this little twerp Carlton .. just look at his shitty shifty little smarmy smirk .. at 0.53 .. yeah, one really feels like decking him. Good on Hawkie for having the balls to put this jerk in his place .. live on-air. We could NOT, in our wildest dreams, ever hope to see the likes of today's KRudd; or Abbott; or Bishop; Hockey; Robb; or Joyce .. emulate the great Aussie call-a-spade-a-spade, The Hon RJL Hawke. These oafs don't FART unless their minders told em it was OK ..

[webaroos]

@colindominy - Hawke never exposed himself to anything but luxury, I saw Carlton take on thugs with a walking stick when he saw thugs take on a defenceless black while he was on assignment in Africa,

[colindominy]

@webaroos - All I know is my own experience & observation of carlton .. the person .. in action over the years. And in my observation & analysis, he was very much an uber-arrogant, mega-conceited, super-self-important, ultra-egotist. He never ever learnt the penultimate lesson in life .. i.e. that humility is the greatest asset that one can acquire & live by. Carlton simply didn't ever know that word or its meaning. Hawke, The Rhodes Scholar, had it all over carlton when it comes to intellect ..

[webaroos]

@colindominy - Carlton was an interviewer and presenter for many years, he brought out the best & the worst out of people, obviously he exposed some of Hawkes lesser qualities also educational qualifications do not make for a better character nor intellect. I still say Hawke was an egotistical little prick who's mouth intimidated but had no substance, he is aptly named the silver bodgie.

[webaroos]

@MisterLemonde - Are you implying that Abbott had a bodgie in his budgie smugglers?

[MisterLemonde]

@webaroos Shish i pressed a symbol and the comment disappeared. But yes he's got kids born well after the 50s, so maybe not.

[yellingelk]

@colindominy With you 100% on that one!

[Prod1Kh]

@webaroos Right, and Carleton was roughing it in Dili, was he, with his luxury room and bottles of chilled champagne?

And exactly who was he defending when he asked people in the queue at the polling booths how they would be voting? After being specifically instructed by the UN media officers not to do that because it could expose the East Timorese to reprisal if they said "independence" and were overheard by pro-Jakarta, pro-uniion voters.

And then claimed Tim Fisher backed him up...

[frank19593]

Looks like something from a monty python sketch

[jaleits]

webaroos you are a real hate filled prick!

Jewish intrerests? Please! You paranoid Islamic terrorist lovers are always amusing in finding "Jewish" conspiracies behind every door and under every rock. You're probably a radical left-winger, but really no different than a brown-shirted National Socialist in 1930's Germany. In fact, you probably have more in common with the ones who ran the gas chambers at Auschwitz. You've exposed yourself as a anti-semite plain and simple! FYOU and DIE!

[mrmeanero]

@jaleits

a near exact mirror of nazi germany isnt 'some left winger'... some 'bleeding heart liberal'...its zionist israel with the new and improved 'settlement' system.

and instead of having a go... ask why and how he thinks he sold out to Jewish interests, because its a lot more progressive and like it or not there's interests everywhere. if he said Chinese interests would you have called him a Chinese conspiracy theorist... no

[Prod1Kh]

@mrmeanero He's already said how Hawke sold out to Jewish interests on another comment page. It was anti-semitic bullshit, pure and simple.

[webaroos]

@jaleits - Fuckwit, tell that to the murdered aid givers after the recent murderous assault on the cruise ship in international waters. One 19 year old shot 4 times in the back of the head and once in the chest, what about the other 8 unarmed beings murdered, several with head wounds shot from above by descending israhelli terrorists. The Russians lost 30 million in WW2, the purported 6 million, figure was first published in 1918 in the NY Jewish News and referred to possible deaths in WW1.

[Prod1Kh]

@webaroos Watch the video. If they were peacefull they wouldn't have attacked the commandos.

The Russians? You mean the Soviets. And they were a multi-ethnic, multi-confessional nationality.

Not surprised people were shot from above by commandos as they attacked another commando on the ground.

That's what happens when you enter into close-quarters combat with soldiers. They defend each other, not just themselves.

[webaroos]

Hawke sold his soul to jewish interests, he was a traitor to Oz same as the US congress is a sellout to AIPAC and israhell, Hawke was a forgettable prick. Goodriddance.

[mrmeanero]

@webaroos

why do you think that dude?

msg me your info

[Mav1313]

Belle de Jour

[jasonwalkabout]

awesome. I wish we had politics like this again

[anthonyjthorne]

I liked Hawke and Carlton both, and think this clip stands as a strong testimony to both. Good video.

[daveyork0]

Happy 80th Birthday Bob.

Hope you stopped by after the celebration to piss on that prick Carleton's grave.

... well served back then too. Prime Minister vs Prime Prick.

[tjisf]

I cant believe we only have 5 or 6 responses to a poiniant moment in Aussie Politics

[doraminikoniko]

still wish bob was prime minister,,....you know a prime minister that didn't suck

[NedsDeb]

Mike Munro is the biggest wanker of them all!

[mygt]

even when he lies he speaks the truth

what a cock head he is

[bww1972]

I hated Richard Carlton i always thought he was a wanker. Good on you Bob. R.I.P Don you are a champion.

[kurthf74]

I wish Hawkie had decked the little smartass... :)

[ace69er]

Carlton was a Cock!

[mahlstadt]

You go that right! Carleton was a major cock.

[ace69er]

Yeah and a charlatan, remember 'Carlos' the 'psychic'?

ALL a hoax to grab ratings!

[ace69er]

And RIP Don!
