Crikey, it's Germs (Kicks Greer's Keister)
News.com.au ^ | 8 Sept 2006 | Andrew Bolt

Germaine Greer, a dingo and a few jackasses said Steve Irwin was a publicity hog, but he was a huge star and a happy Australian.

Professional harpy Germaine Greer was one of the first to publicly cackle over the death of Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin.

"The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin," the feminista gloated in an article published in Left-wing newspapers such as The Age and The Guardian.

And if she meant by "animal world" the slavering pack that has paraded its resentment of Irwin since he was killed she'd be right.

On Jon Faine's ABC radio show, for instance, you could hear a dingo bark: "I'm glad he's no longer an ambassador for Australia." ...

Over at the zoo that is the Sydney Morning Herald it was little better. "Steve Irwin spent his life irritating animals . . . karma," hissed a snake in a letter.

I should add that ... there were also far warmer tributes to Irwin -- a loving father, marvellous entertainer, great patriot, generous donor, humble achiever, employer of 500 people and creator of a much-loved wildlife park.

Elsewhere, the grief was overwhelming and yet there was this loud minority who were not just unmoved by Irwin's death, but felt compelled to write or ring to berate the dead man and call us cretins for crying for him.

You may see this simply as more proof that ideology -- especially a Left-wing one -- has so hardened hearts as to exclude compassion.

Greer, for instance, couldn't help but complain of Irwin that he'd called Prime Minister John Howard "the greatest leader Australia has ever had." ...

He also offended our new green believers, who insist man is Nature's slave, unfit to touch even a scale on a dopey lizard's back.

It was this same fear that had our new Tourism Australia "bloody hell" commercials condemned. How boorish we were to replace the old ads of artists (which didn't work) with new ones starring beach bunnies and camel drivers, who seemed no-airs friendly, deep-tanned outdoorsy and even drug-free.

My brother and I have had a dream for about two decades now to travel to Australia together. We weren't going there to look at the art, we were going there to see a beautiful frontier continent and a unique people. And dive great waters!

Professional harpy Germaine Greer

Heh-heh! Do I have to pay this guy if I start referring to all major feminists as "professional harpies? :-)

Good, I am still appalled at how some people have reacted to his death.

The pseudo-humanitarian Left rears it's ugly head again.

No need to include Camille Paglia. She may "think different," but at least she's polite and fairly pleasant about it.

It is a beautiful place. The navy took me there a couple times. Only one of a few places I've been where I would like to go back. If I had the money, I would vacation there a lot.

Greer is jealous because when she finally passes, all that will be heard is a loud "flush".

Germaine Greer should be spayed.

People should just ignore her. Up until this story, I wasn't even aware that she's still alive.

"The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin,"

I can't remember Irwin ever harming an animal. IMHO the animals and conservation in general have lost one of their greatest friends.
