 Don’t ease the squeeze

It gets better for the Liberal party.

EMBATTLED West Australian Opposition Leader Troy Buswell, who has admitted sniffing a female colleague’s chair and snapping another’s bra strap, has been accused of squeezing an MP’s testicles.

Was it Amanda Vanstone’s testicles?

Mr Buswell allegedly grabbed the backbencher in the crotch on the same night he snapped a Labor staffer’s bra during a drunken night at Parliament House last October.

Backbencher? So not Amanda. Perhaps this is why Backflip Brendan is opposing the alcopops tax - so he can join in the crazy shenanigans?

Nationals leader Brendon Grylls said the government should not wait until early next year to call the election.

“We must not allow the Parliament to fall into disrepute,” Mr Grylls said.

No, I agree. In-between chair sniffing, quokka molesting allegations, bra-snapping, scrotum squeezing and shirt lifting (not forgetting Brian Burke!), you must never let the WA parliament fall into disrepute.

    Still there is more:

    […]

    has been accused by retiring Liberal MP Katie Hodson-Thomas of making sexist remarks to her

    From AAP, via news.com.au, 30 April 2008

    Detail emerges …

    […]

    Carine MP Katie Hodson-Thomas has revealed that inappropriate comments Mr Buswell made to her were of a sexual nature and directed at her, not merely sexist remarks as reported.

    […]

    “(Mr Buswell’s comments) were of a sexual nature. Involving me. He had been drinking,” Ms Hodson-Thomas said.

    “It was offensive enough for me to indicate to the party room that I wouldn’t tolerate that behaviour any more.

    “In no other workplace would that be acceptable behaviour.”

    Chair sniffing, bra snapping, and the odd game of “squeeze my testicles” with a colleague: I think Troy Buswell is over-qualified as a politician. Can’t wait for the ‘I made an honest mistake’ if and when he is accused of T/A abuse.

    it’s a bit like declaring we must not allow the Titanic to sink isn’t it?

    Perhaps he had been wearing Downer’s Fishnet stockings for a few years under his pants,and forgot how to play pocket marbles,because well, the underpants he was wearing at the time… were LongJohns! And isnt it true that they get into our pockets!? He was just practising,because well,he couldn’t find any good notes on himself! Except one! And being a Big Note all the time… means lousy harmonics.Keep ya Nose Clean,Semi-quaverers!

    The real story is obviously that he squirrel-gripped the quokka.

    Christain Kerr relayed a good gag in his blog in the The Australian today, apprently told to him by a Liberal shodow minister:

    What to the Liberals stand for?

    So Troy Buswell can sniff their chairs.
