It’s amazing that when Peter Garrett brushes off a right wing shock jock with a lame joke – far less funny than the one which landed Silverchair’s Daniel Johns in Garrett-related hot water earlier this year – it is a semantic delight of front page proportions across the nation. An arrogant and glib response by Garrett somehow holds the key to a sinister ALP conspiracy. And Santa Claus is dating Elvis.
