When will we ever be able to respect them in the morning?

 
When the Liberal Party allowed John Howard to trail his feeble political dementia through the last Australian federal election campaign, I thought surely things couldn't get any worse.
 
When a defeated Liberal Party elected failed former defence minister Brendan Nelson as its new leader, I hoped that there was nowhere to go but up for the party after that obvious blunder.
 
When the very rich ex-merchant banker Malcolm Turnbull plopped his rear in the leader's chair after Nelson's demise, I feared that the Liberal Party had plumbed to previously unimaginable depths.
 
Then the Liberal Party elected the rabidly conservative Tony Abbott as its leader going into the next federal election campaign and I discovered that the situation could indeed get much, much worse.
