"Fitzgibbon is also better off out of Defence," Mr Latham wrote. "One of the habits of our national life is to glorify all aspects of the military. I have always assumed this gushing, out-of-proportion praise could come only from those who have never met our soldiers and experienced first-hand their limited intelligence and primeval interests in life.
he must of spent a few nights on the piss with the boys to be so correct.
Mr Latham also declared spending time with military personnel to be the worst part of a career in politics.
"Surely the worst job in Australian politics is to be the minister for defence. Anything, even the most tedious and loathsome of public duties, would be better than knocking around with the meatheads of the Australian Defence Force."
Latho is a champion and obviously a clever bloke, he would have been a top PM, you would get away with all kinds of ****.
Reporter: "Mr Latham, what comments do you have on the latest behaviour crisis in defence?"
Mr latham: "oh, it is just those bloody dumbass meatheads doing their primeval stuff again - ask me about something important you moron Journo"
Legend!
