"No one is the suppository of all wisdom". Certainly not you Mr Abbott!

[i-need-a-martini]

This is what he said yesterday to a group of Liberal supporters (well who else). What a prime time goose.

Goes to show what he really thinks of females.

He would never have used those words to describe a male candidate.

oh I am not so sure about that!

Az, do you know something that some others don't?

comprender ? - Spanish for to comprehend.

No, I don't get what you mean and am not even going to try to.

Re: the general comments of ridicule.. as others have posted here it wouldn't have mattered which politician/leader dropped that clanger the reponse to it would be the same.

I googled Bersucloni ( PM of Italy) as martini mentioned him in this thead.. How he gets away with the things he says I don't know. His comments are intentional too.
