Barmy like Bennelong or Bennelong bonkers

There have been many tributes from overseas government and international figures to John Howard's contribution to international affairs. What must these people think of those who replaced John Howard with a kitchen-and-garden journalist from the state owned broadcasting company that is famous for its arrogant sanctimonious political prejudice?

They would not say so, but they must think on the evidence that the Bennelong electorate is barmy and bonkers. Indeed, there should be a special phrase to describe the sort of shallowness, blind prejudice and ignorance displayed by the people of Bennelong. I'll go for 'barmy like Bennelong' or 'Bennelong bonkers'. So when someone says or does something displaying that sort of mindless social and political ignorance, one may comment 'you're barmy like Bennelong' or 'it's Bennelong bonkers'.

If someone can come up with something more accurate and descriptive I am all ears.
