Had a discussion once about how you don't have to be smart in the traditional sense to make money, you just need a certain type of personality, Clive Palmer is a prime example.
Mr Palmer strikes me as having too much money for his own good and like a spoiled kid keeps looking around for his next source of amusement.

Queensland billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer has unveiled his plans to build the Titanic II to add to his tourism portfolio.
Mr Palmer said his new company Blue Star Line Pty Ltd had commissioned the state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard to build a near replica of the ill-fated Titanic. The cost is unknown.
He made the announcement on the same day he revealed his hopes to contest the next federal election in the Queensland seat of Lilley, held by Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan.

This will be funnier to watch than Joh for Canberra.
I hope so.Wake up people, Big Clive has no intentions of becoming a member of parliament.
He is just messing with Swanies head. Like a cat playing with a mouse. Every time Swanie moves he will jump on him.
Neither could he be regarded as having the necessary characteristics for any politician on any side in that his massive ego would not allow him to e.g. go doorknocking for votes.Clive doesn't fit the mould of a politicain by labor standards, i.e. he doesn't have a union leader background, or ignorance about running a business.

He's not hurting Swan. I guarantee you Tony Abbott is hoping that walking heart attack keeps his wallet open and his mouth shut in the future. He took the spotlight off gillard's problems with slipper etc.
He has certainly diverted a lot of people from the main game. He has managed to switch a lot of posters to the view point that Palmer is a bigger threat to democracy than Gillard, Thomson, Slipper and Swan.
Class enemies perhaps? Swan certainly thinks so. Politics of envy perhaps? Maybe.
I reckon Clive's run is a great move and a perfect fit...i mean he's the quintessential conservative, in possession of all the typical conservative quality's.
He's
- Rich
- Out spoken
- Greedy
- Gluttonous
- Egotistical
- Eccentric
- Delusional
This guy is gona fit right in.Clive can have Tuckey's old seat in the party room.
So cynical and IF, it's a pretty sad day when you feel obliged to caricature all liberal voters in such an unrealistic and silly way.
It must be tough seeing the party of your choice annihilate itself as at present, but it does you no credit to react so childishly as above.
It says way more about you than it provides a genuine analysis of the wide variety of people who have a small 'l' liberal philosophy.
But if Palmer can take the piss, why can't certain members of Aussie Stock Forums, who happen to vote differently to you?So cynical and IF, it's a pretty sad day when you feel obliged to caricature all liberal voters in such an unrealistic and silly way.
