Denton to jocks: "Fear the man with the glasses"

With a few drips of Wayne Carey's blood dripping from his teeth, bespectacled nerd poster-boy Andrew Denton was tonight celebrating another triumph of brains over brawn.

Denton subjected Carey to the television equivalent of a root canal without anaesthetic on his highest-rating Enough Rope show to date.

Equipped with neither a basic sense of self-awareness nor the verbal arsenal to defend the indefensible, Carey was left squirming and stammering under Denton's razor sharp questioning; and late in the 2 hour interrogation the former North Melbourne champion was left to suffer the ultimate indignity - listening to a clip of Derryn Hinch.

The irony of Denton's triumph was not lost on the host who said, 'Sure if we met down a dark alley, Wayne would have ensure that most of my organs were left on the outside of my body. But I always knew that after many girl-friend free years and evenings alone reading Patrick White, one day I'd get a legendary jock on the rack and make him suffer an atomic television wedgie!”

Denton suggested that while Carey had found the lengthy interview with him painful, he would probably find a lengthy jail term bunking in with Kevin ‘Bubba’ Smith at Florida State Prison even more so.
