 i wonder who our second best friend is ?  he thinks he's president i reckon, presidents always say things like that

[donnashuggy]

Shouldn't it be China? Should he even be playing favourites? Was it a slip of the tongue?

Take your pick

Maybe he's hoping to sell Australia to the highest bidder, so he's finding friends, I don't think he has many friends left in Aus.

How much more embarrassing can he get?  Unfortunately a lot I think, judging from his past performance - see the compilation of interviews with him I posted here:

I didn't realise he had so much trouble speaking fluently............

It's reported he also said the time has come for Japan to be a "normal country". Whatever that means, it seems rather contrary to the best friend claim.

Oh  he keeps insulting everybody left, right & centre.  How patronising of him to say something like that to Japan!  I expected him to be an embarrassment but he already exceeded all my expectations.  No wonder he does not want foreign journalists around, they might actually report all his gaffes.

This is coming back to haunt him
