    Even by 2gbs low standards , this far right wind bag is a rather pathetic …. Standard 2gb hash - family friendly, dishonest , fabricated and ill informed right wing extremist delivered by a boorish fool who appears to have been born without and charm or a personality

    Belongs on the ABC. Boring as watching paint dry. Good for background noise when you need a nap.
