*like mowing the lawn with nail clippers

Today's Canberra Times cartoon (really, why don't you check it out yourself each day Tuesday to Friday when Pryor is drawing) sums up the AWB situation (memo ABC: it's not a scandal, stop being so leftish) perfectly. It was a PM being exceptionally careful with his words tonight on the news. Enough evidence, for those of us inclined to take it as such, that he's lying through his teeth being economical with the truth. Again.

*There is a metaphor that better sums upthis situation but for the life of me I can't think what it is.
