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.

I can only imagine the campfire tales being traded in the wilds of the great beyond....
Lefties are a bunch of a$$hole$. *shrugs*
Thank you all for not posting that appalling photo of Germ, nekkid as a bluejay.
I'm happiest when hard at work, and have been flaccid ever since. (But the day's not over yet.)
I think I would rather sleep in the same bed with a crocodile. Probably softer to the touch and smells nicer.
No need. What sentient life form would couple with her?
Paglia is fascinating. She can disagree without being strident, but she's quite assertive and knowledgeable. She walks a fine line.
Crikey!!
And smart, and funny. I get the impression that she'd be a great guest at a dinner party.
Bump and ping!
As opposed to Greer, a lipstick lesbian [and more's the loss].
I for one wept when I saw Irwin with the Army Rangers
in the special where he helped the military remove
dangerous snakes from their training center in Louisiana.
Irwin's genuineness, passion and excitable nature, made
him enjoyable and real. His ENTIRE being was poured
into his work. Something you rarely see these days.
Most actors don't even move their lips, let alone their
face. With Steve, over the top enthusiasm for God's
creation showed in his face, body language and speech.
And that is what made him lovable and watchable.
Germaine is certainly NOT germaine when it comes to
compassion and sensitivity. Something she left behind
when she tried to become a man ... like Steve Irwin.
I think she's more the bare-butt kind. Lipsticks are at least lookers, Germaine gets right in your face and oh man it smells!
Poor language on my part. I meant Paglia was a lipstick lesbian. Greer gives 'ugly' a bad name.
Agree. Maybe it was me misunderstanding. But we both agree that Paglia is the lipstick lesbian and Greer is the butt-ugly - the one who proved it in fact!
Beautifully said. That's why so many children loved him.
Fortunately, Greer's sentiments are not shared by the vast majority of Australians, or people in other parts of the world for that matter. Greer has a very destructive personality as do many liberals. Rather than see good, they prefer to see evil.
"Rather than see good, they prefer to see evil"...
Maybe somebody should tell Germaine not to spend so much time at the mirror.
Thanks goodness.
I wish we could send them all to the moon, or someplace equally temperate. They deserve no better.
Well said, true in every sense.
