<p><i>"We finished the meeting (with a constituent), I walked the bloke downstairs and out of parliament, and when I got back I walked into the room to pick up my notepad from the desk and Buswell started grabbing the chairs going 'aahww, which one did you sit in? I'll be able to tell','' she said.<br />
<br />
"And then he picked them up and started sniffing them and groaning and making sexually satisfying noises. I went, 'you're sick, knock it off', and grabbed my staff and walked out, but he didn't pay attention to a word I said.'' </p>
<p>The woman said she was standing with colleagues about 10 minutes later when one of them knocked on Mr Buswell's door to ask one of his staff to lunch. </p>
<p>"Buswell opened the door really wide, grabbed a chair and started sniffing it, lifted it above his head sniffing it and breathing in, going 'aaww yeah','' the woman said. </p>
<p>"It was awful."</i></p>

<p>No one else was hurt and the main player was perfectly captured in one dopey action as the complete dickhead he is.</p>
<p>See the Brits and Seppos either tend to go for baroque here (Found dead in two wetsuits, wearing fishnet stockings and and orange in his mouth!) or the really trivial (George WH Bush doesn't know what checkout scanner is! Hilary can't work a coffee machine!)</p>
<p>But here in Aus, I reckon we've got such political/media scandals just right. Chair sniffing, overly macho handshakes on camera, smuggling Paddington Bear through customs, long lost bastard sons holding a sound boom over his cabinet minister dad, Parliamentary leaders of two opposed parties bonking after tense negotiations - no wonder we punch well above our weight in exportable soaps.</p>
<p>This 'chair sniffing" thang is gonna haunt the poor stupid bastard for the rest of his life. It's just so funny and pathetic all at once. He wasn't even enough of a man to properly fornicate with the furniture. Or enough of an operator to run with it and laugh it off.</p>
<p>If you can't entertainingly spin what went on with a hamfisted and dimwitted prank, then you truly are unfit to govern. This why Bill Clinton is worshipped by pollies and captains of industry across the political spectrum. "How the hell did you get away with it?"<br />

<p>If memory serves me correctly, I almost got a fist sized hole in my skull for my comedic efforts. As a matter of fact, I think the whole thing ended in a mediocre blue with me being ejected, though not thrown down any staircase bouncer style (which was a change for the better). </p>
<p>Why? Why did I do it? Cause I was a dickhead. It's pretty much that simple. </p>
<p>I still think I'd make a better PM than the current one. At least I was 19 when I did that. And at least I acknowledge my turdishness as being wholey and entirely mine to own.</p>
<p>I don't think there are any lessons to learn here other than confirmation of what a complete asshat I have been at times. But I think most people already know that.</p>CB commented on 'SNIFF 'N' THE TEARS'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e5521e9de288342008-05-01T11:50:29Z2008-05-01T11:50:30ZCBWeird?
