And to top it all off he's upset because Medicare covered the cost of his son's hospital treatment when he broke his foot.  Somehow that is inherently wrong.

Tina Fey said it, and the world has been using it for several years.  Missed again. 

Mr. Shorten is obviously more intelligent than you seem to think.

Not in reply to anyone in particular

2008
" I can see Russia from my house!'
It was actually comedian Tina Fey, who was impersonating Ms. Palin on Saturday Night Live, who uttered the line that is now widely attributed to the former Alaska governor.

The basis for this line comes from a September 2008 interview with ABC News's Charles Gibson, who asked Palin what insights she had from her state being so close to Russia. She responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

Now can we get back to Joe Hockey's brain snaps? 🙂

"Mr Shorten ridiculed the claim while campaigning in Brisbane, and said Mr Hockey had had a “brain snap”.

[gleee58]

Mr Hokey has a brain snap every time he opens his mouth and words escape.

I know, lol. Must be why he's not allowed to speak publicly very often.

About the poor people don't drive far comment... "crisis management expert. ''He's gifted himself to Bill Shorten as a punching bag.''

Bingo.. keeps doing that.

lol yes.  i do know how it originated.   

i also thought  it was common knowledge

that there were many still out there who actually

attributed it to palin hence  snopes.     

no shame in admitting you were not aware though  

[polksaladallie]

So you were not aware.  Got it.  

[cherry*135]

Hockey made the most embarassing comment of the year (so far)... Not Shorten.. lol.

Urban legend that grew out of a joke 😉 Political misquote.. Doesn't detract from the recent Hockey Howler.

joe's the man thus week, people are pointning the finger at and shaking their heads in disbelieve, no one has misquoted his latest gem.
