Wow. She is incredible. I don't even know if I'd agree with her about Mr. Slipper, since I know nada about Australian politics and scandals, but her ability to come out swinging and do it so articulately is admirable.

Was the motion rejected?

Anyway, if Julia Gillard had debated Mitt Romney last week Romney would now be polling in the low zeroes.

She's a great voice for women-unless they're lesbians who want the right to marry, in which case they're SOL.

I wonder if they could get her to coach Obama?
