Do you believe Joe Hockey when he says

[donnashuggy]

He doesn't remember seeing the menu at the charity event he was guest of honour at?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-12/mal-brough-says-sorry-for-menu-jibe-at-gillard/4748516

For a man that loves his food I am absolutely sure he would have glanced at the menu, it would also have been a huge talking point, amazing it has not leaked earlier - just goes to show the people that attended have absolutely no decorum - it is just not funny at all.

Mr Brough says the menu was drawn up by a non-party member who thought it would be "humorous" and "didn't mean any harm by it," but is now "deeply apologetic".

Of course it was. 😉

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Freaky... 

The other big difference is that I'm not seeking or in public office.

If I was working in the PS I would not make the joke via PS comms system.

The other person claims to be virtuous and fit for public office.

There is a big difference between me adding a line to a spaghetti joke and comment about the PM having a big red box on a printed menu.

no there is not... 

belittling a mans appendage is in exactly the same realm of making fun of Gillards box.

Just guessing because I know monman will want undeniable proof! lol

Big red box ........oh my:^O I wonder what colour it is if the head hair is dyed? this is so funny.

 Reading  the tut tut brigade & their confected outrage, labor has done plenty worse than this & not as funny either.

What is important in this? 50 or more dead bodies floating in the ocean & left because the navy is too busy rescuing thousands of people every week or a lunch menu?????

Have a look at yourself and you will know the answer.

Why not? I don't have the names of any other attendees - YET!

So we may have 30 attendees that didn't read it either.

He's lying.

No, you think he is lying.

[azureline**]

[freddie*rooster]

Disgusting pigs.

Mal Brough was the member for my electorate when I lived in Deception Bay. I liked him and voted for him. He did a couple of good things for me or rather his office did.  Plus him, being involved in the Slipper stosh I am really surprised.
