How apt!

Tony Abbott unwittingly caused suppository to trend on twitter today:

Unfortunately I can't risk posting any of the rather amusing tweets but they're easy to find with some posted on the linked SBS article.

 

An election-campaign slip by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is sitting a bit uncomfortably today. 

Mr Abbott was speaking in Melbourne at the launch of Liberal candidate Michael Sukkar's campaign in the Labor-held seat of Deakin.

He was contrasting the established frontbench for the Liberals with what he depicted as Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's domination of Labor's bid for re-election.

But he did not quite express it the way he meant.

"No-one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom, and I believe that we will be a much better government because we have a very strong team."

i thought an enema of wisdom closer to the mark.

What was he thinking? It is a really odd error.

That's why he didn't need notes!   The knowledge that he needed last night was within reach of his brain.

LOL Some of those comments are really so funny and clever.  It's a shame they can't be posted here.
