This is what he said yesterday to a group of Liberal supporters (well who else). What a prime time goose.
And what a bunch of geese we will look when he represents us internationally.
“No one,” Tony Abbott told a Melbourne gathering of Liberal Party faithful, “however smart, however well-educated, however experienced … is the suppository of all wisdom”.

If a slip of the tongue is the only point you focussed on in Sunday night's Rudd vs Abbott debate, it's no wonder you're not getting the bigger picture.
Oh dear.
If only you had focussed on the what he was saying at the debate you would know that this gaffe was not part of that debate.
I only noticed because I have been seeing the bigger picture.
Well thank goodness for that. I thought it was part of his speech I'd missed.

Yes we all do it. But "all" of us haven't been trained to talk in public. Nor do we all have (apparently) the level of intelligence this moron has.
And if only this was his sole slip of the tongue then perhaps (PERHAPS) he could be forgiven. But he continually says stupid things.
Anyone heard of Berlusconi?
I hope you're not comparing Mr Abbott to Mr Berlusconi
omg every time I hit the insert button I have to *giggle*
gotta go bye for now

The guy is the Leader of the Oppostion, potential Prime Minister not some local person giving a speech to a small audience.
His comment has spread around the world like wildfire... people all around the world are laughing at his slip up.
You will make sure it's never forgotten then? People all over the world , really? Laughing with him, not at him 🙂
Um, nope. People all over the world are laughing AT him.

Yes, a bit naive to think people are laughing with him, especially people from overseas.
The internet will make sure it is not forgotten. The days of print newspapers as the only source on news is long gone.

Can't be worse than laughing at Ms Gillard mooning all over Pres Obama like a love-sick calf during his visit, gawd that was embarassing:
