As we head towards the inevitable showdown between Wingnut and Rusty Nut, the sub-editors of Australia are going to get their very first chance to wheel out those redheaded political headlines they’ve had hidden under their desks for years. Say, here’s a couple what just I thought up. Subs may purchase them off me at agreed fees.
Crimson and Clover
Good headline to accompany any photograph of our redheaded representative and the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore.
Ruddy hell!
An excellent double bunger for the inevitable day when Kevin 07 returns to challenge old Le Guillardine to another bloody head shot, so to speak
Red, red whine
A sure Walkley-winning headline if sitting above a column that berates the magenta-headed minister for pushing extreme left views in that excruciating Hills Hoist meow of hers.
Said the ‘ranga to the gibbon...
A robust headline for any acquired transcript of a conversation between the cerise-topped civil servant and fellow MP, Joel Fitzgibbon.
Salmon tart
For when everyone’s favourite bit of front bench fuchsia has been a little too abrupt with the media.
The cowering inferno
Perfect for when our most puniceous politician is seen to backpedal from a fair fight.
Frankly, Scarlet, I don’t give a damn!
When Frank Sartor defies his boss
Copper top battery
A beauty for when the old Iron Carrot is seen to pound her opposition to a pulp
Rust never sleeps
Hey hey, my my, Julia caught in Parliament getting a bit of shut-eye.
Ludwig’s van, Beet’s oven
The only headline that could possibly cover all bases when atop an exclusive photo of the beetroot-haired baby-kisser’s new oven being delivered to Kirribilli House in a mini-van owned by Queensland Minister, Joe Ludwig.
Meringue-u-tan
Good head for a sexy photo of a slippery, sticky, slightly pink-looking Gillard sunbaking on Bondi beach.

Wed 30 Jun 10 (02:45pm)
Thanks for the pic of the fruit bat, that is a decent set of lugs. I absolutely refuse to offer the puerile suggestion that the wingnuts head is screwed on, but only fingertight.
Or the facile headline, Abbott seeks public opinion, “I’m all ears.”
You should be ashamed of yourself Jack Marx, this is silly and quite unbecoming given the solemn and dignified bearing of our nations leaders and aspirants.
If you’d had a bit of breeding and a “proper” education you’d have learnt a thing or two about the hunt, sportmanship, and big slow moving targets. You dreadfull man.

I very much enjoyed that. although I will dispute with you the spelling or “ranga” - something I have given way too much thought to: ive thought: is it “ranger”? no. thats ranger, like a park ranger. is it “wranger”? closer, more specific and clearly not a park ranger, but the w throws you off. is it “ranga”, a weird make up word and still one that can phonetically be thought of as “ranga” more sounding like “ranger”. you have to get past the whole thing of WR sound and R sound. ive decided on WRANGA. thats the most phonetical equivalent. you cant get WRANGA wrong. its a special australian word, so we need to protect it phonetically....
it sounds culturally right. WRANGA!

You do know where ranga comes from don’t you?
Thu 01 Jul 10 (09:18am)
Mike, I’d wager she doesn’t. Do you want to put her out of her misery or shall I?
It’s funny, in my day, we used to call ‘em Bluey Bloodnuts. Much more Aussie I reckon. Though Kit Kat’s Wranga does have a certain rang to it. HAHHAHAHAHHA geddit?
Thu 01 Jul 10 (09:51am)
Just a small point—how can it be the most phonetic when it has a silent W?
Besides, isn’t ‘ranga’ short for orangutan? In which case it should be ‘ranga’.
Sorry to be such a pedant!
RED Y MAID!
Julia has an affair with a Spanish waitress.

I stole those from two movie titles. I’m awesome.
