Where's Greg?

Further to my previous post about an ailing Australian, what's become of its foreign editor, Greg (Jerusalem Prize) Sheridan? To borrow David Burchell's trademark simile, he seems to have 'vanished like a wraith'.

God I miss the bugger! I mean, apart from his river-deep-and-mountain-high passion for the Zionist entity, who else does the old pot-calling-the-kettle-black routine better than he, as in this, his last sighted column:

"One of [Defence Minister Stephen] Smith's least attractive features as a politician is his determination never to acknowledge difficult or unpleasant facts that contradict his fantasy narrative about the US, Afghanistan, his own relations with senior defence figures and other subjects. He is convinced that simply repeating, word processor like, the studied tediousness of his prepared cliches is a better approach than dealing with difficult facts." (Defence cuts make Americans uneasy: Privately the US is appalled at the Australian government's budgetary stance, 15/11/12)

Perhaps he has been seconded to Israel to work as Mark Regev's assistant?

We'll know for sure once Mark starts banging on about the 'Hamas death cult'.
