Just to carry the analogy a little further.
Can you imagine the consequences if the former Breakfast announcers at MIX (as it still was then) had called a press conference ahead of the official announcement by ARN of the signing of Kyle and Jackie O to say that they'd been replaced.
As Kevin Andrews did yesterday to announce that he wouldn't be the Defence Minister in the new Malcolm Turnbull ministry.
Those Breakfast announcers would have been sacked immediately for disloyalty.
Which is why Kevin Andrews should immediately resign from the Parliament, or be treated as a "non-person" by the rest of the Liberal Party.
Not that he was ever up to the role of even a Breakfast co-host, as he wanted to be when he stood for the deputy leadership of the party last week.
