Suppository of wisdom

One of Australia’s more erratic politicians—still likely to be our Prime Minister within a month—declared yesterday, ‘No one, however smart, however well educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom.’

I suppose nobody would quarrel with that statement 😉

Oh, lord. Repository, I'm sure, is what he meant. Thank goodness the lady who thought Islam was a country and that their holy book is the hamad dropped out.

I'm guessing, by his previous "scatological" comments as the article points out, he very much intended to say "suppository". It obviously got people talking, and provided significant name recognition.....whether positive or not.....is up to the voters.

If it wasn´t a politician, this kind of slip of the tongue would be met with knowing smiles and a few grins. It could happen to anybody.

But since politicians always presume to know everything so much better and since they vie for public attention like shameless exhibitionists, I sort of hope this remark is one of those things that they can´t shake off ...

He was a short-lived prime minister, indeed, and had an inglorious subsequent career as a wrecker. Hasn’t he been hobnobbing more recently with figures like Hungary’s Viktor Orbán? Fortunately his influence today is negligible.

This is like a scene from ‘Full Metal Jacket’. The drill sergeant asks about Lee Harvey Oswald and one of the marines in training says something like; ‘isn’t he the guy that shot Kennedy from the book suppository building?
