Dr Brendan Nelson has unveiled his latest catchphrase.

The most important thing is that we must be focused and disciplined as far as the government’s budget is concerned - it has pulled the plug on pensioners…

Malcolm will be at the press club tomorrow in Canberra. He’ll be setting out a very strong case as to why the budget of the Rudd government has failed Australians, pulled the plug on pensioners…

That’s some pretty strong mental imagery there, Bren-doc. Are you sure you’d like to subconsciously suggest that Labor is forcibly euthanising the elderly? Than again, you are a doctor so I’m sure you know what you’re doing.

Just when you thought Steve Fielding’s bong stunt was as low as this muppet could go in trying to attract attention to himself, he goes and does something like this.

Angry pensioners and a Family First senator have stripped off and stopped traffic on one of Melbourne’s busiest intersections in a protest against a lack of support for seniors in this week’s Federal Budget.

Mr Fielding stripped off his shirt in support of the protest, while two elderly women wore only their bras.

Several men also stripped to the waist after the protesters walked from the steps of Flinders Street Station into the intersection with Swanston Street.

Aargh! My retinas!

Fielding flagged this hideous act in one of his notorious home videos last week, but I honestly couldn’t see him going through with it. And the irony of it all is that Fielding baring his chest to a handful of bemused pedestrians in Melbourne’s city centre won’t help one bit in getting him re-elected. Face it, Steve: you and your Pentecostal mates are headed for the political dustbin of history and no stunt on Earth is going to save you.
