Australian politician's 'suppository' gaffe
Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott set social media abuzz on Monday with a memorable slip of the tongue.
"No one - however smart, however well-educated, however experienced - is the suppository of all wisdom," Abbott told a Liberal Party event in the city of Melbourne.
FULL STORY
Why did he have to be a member of the Liberal Party? Even if you think your heart is in the right place, you should present well-spoken representatives.
Blocked.
The 'gaffe' related to a very current and relevant issue, not some hypothetical situation. Politicians everywhere including here need to be in touch with issues & study them, that are a part of what is now going on. They don't have to be'suppository of all wisdom"
I just wonder what the fascination with Australia's "gaffes" is, when we have plenty of our own representatives spouting off the wall remarks.
Gmta @ banasy. I was JUST thinking that same thing honestly.
A suppository is where all suppositions are kept.
Lol @ Dan, ummm there are other kinds of suppositorys!
Agree@banasy.
Do you mean to say that our venerated politicians need those other kind@chrissy.lol
Lol @ saywhat, well they do seem to be full of it don't they?
And would i ever say something like that saywhat? Lololol
God forbid no.
you made my day@chrissy.
Ty ty verrry much! Lol
Give it a rest, spamalot.
He's wrong. There are many people on the internet who could claim to be the suppository of all wisdom.
Hopefully Abbott can put this incident behind him ... he needs to pull out all the stops from here ...
