The Senator Requests

Post by Gob »

You can always rely on the Aussies for plain speaking :-)

From a Senator, (Aus equivalent of the House of Lords,)
Earlier today, the Palmer United senator did an interview on the Kim and Dave Show for Hobart's Heart FM. And here, when asked about her ideal man, the single senator replied, "they must have heaps of cash and they've got to have a package between their legs". "They don't even need to speak".

Later, when a prospective suitor called up the show, Lambie enquired if 22 year-old Jamie was "well-hung". This induced great mirth from Kim and Dave (ratings gold!), but just imagine if a male politician had offered a similar opinion, about say, a woman needing to be "really rich and have massive boobs".

Crucify him. Normal sized boobs are all a real man needs.

Pretty distasteful, IMHO.

Not to mention the fact that her priorities in men are pretty pathetic - a quick wit, compassion and kindness are all 100x more important than 'heaps of cash' and a big penis.

One hopes she was just trying - and failing miserably - to be funny.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Crass behavior by someone pretending to a position of leadership. We will see how it is rewarded.
