Andrew Bolt. Acting like a drip.

I often read Andrew Bolt's Blog site. I confess to agreeing to a lot of his points.
He ruthlessly questions outrageous government spending, attacks ignorant journalism concerning worldwide terrorism, pinpoints stupidity and political correctness in our Justice system, identifies politicians who do not know what they are doing and the list goes on.
But on occasion he will cut off his nose despite his face. Always on the outlook for new ways to bait the left, he sometimes bites off more than he can chew.
His latest campaign is his call for new dams to alleviate current water shortages. I am no expert on the impact of new dams on a depleted water storage system, but with half a dozen dams at half full what would another half full dam be useful for? But Andrew was terribly upset that he is unable to water his garden and as I continued to read his arguments I thought he was going to call on the UN to enforce his right to have an endless supply of water. He rebuffed the idea of water saving and refused to accept the idea of installing a water tank.
Two words.
Greedy.
Irresponsible.
For a man who bemoans the demise of people working for the common good, his attitude is just not good enough. Urban Australians have treated water with a wasteful attitude for decades. It has only been the last few years that a wiser attitude has been adopted.
It seems some take a while to get wise.
