Let me be quite clear here. I suspect that Anthony Albanese has been a useful idiot to many in the media over the past dozen or so years…

I probably should define “useful idiot” so that you don’t automatically think that I think that I’m somehow brighter than Albo who, after all, did actually make it the office of PM.

Then again I could just use the definition from Wikipedia which is a useful tool for tools who want to do their own research but can’t be bothered to find more than one or two things on the Internet…

Here we go:

“A useful idiot or useful fool is a pejorative description of a person, suggesting that the person thinks they are fighting for a cause without fully comprehending the consequences of their actions, and who does not realize they are being manipulated by the cause’s leaders or by other political players.”

Now, I’m not as hostile as this may sound. Normally, I actually will give credit where credit is due, but I don’t have time for that now because I’ve already “personsplained” useful idiot… I would have said “mansplained” but I’m not the sort of person who uses........
