Paul Keating is a one-man crash course in Australian vernacular insults. He's one of the few genuine intellectual figures we've had in the upper reaches of Australian politics over the last half-century, and was a transformative statesman too, but he is also thoroughly entertaining and given to verbally eviscerating his opponents, something that has evidently not dulled with age.

In that same interview he went after the journalists (Hartcher and Knott) who published the alarmist "China: Red Alert" series a few days ago that some folks posted about here. When he was asked a question by one of the authors of that piece....

Keating again got stuck into Hartcher and referred to him as “old acid drop”. When foreign affairs correspondent, Matthew Knott, bravely asked him a question, he didn’t answer directly but told him he should hang his head in shame for co-writing the series. “I’m surprised you even have the gall to stand up in public and ask such a question, frankly,” Keating said. “You ought to do the right thing and drum yourself out of Australian journalism."
