THE FEENEY PHOENIX: Was Put To The Sword, Is Now Large And In Charge

David Feeney has been called all sorts of good and bad names in his wild ride in politics over nearly twenty years.

Mike Rann once dubbed him the heroic General Eisenhower of Rann's re-election campaign after his famous role as the ALP's campaign director in South Australia. His campaign over there was brutal and brilliant and made folks like Greg Sword who'd been responsible for removing him from the same role in Victoria look particularly vindictive, stupid, vicious and possibly evil (an exorcism has not yet been performed on Comrade Sword so no-one is quite sure).

It's been a long, twilight struggle for him but now there's a new name which we suspect he'll have for a very long time: Senator.

Game on.
