An Australian Politician Shrinks In Embarrassment, As The Prime Minister Destroys Him For Being A Misogynist
This is not a speech you typically see a politician give.
During a session of parliament, Australian PM Julia Gillard gave a
stern drubbing to Tony Abbott of the opposition party, calling him a
hypocrite and a misogynist for various comments he has made throughout
his career.
The whole thing seems to have been prompted by Abbott's comments
about a scandal involving the Aussie Speaker of the House, who is
resigning over lurid text messages.
Anyway, watch the video ... certainly not like anything you'd see in
U.S. politics. In addition to the intensity of the speech (which really
picks up at the 3 minute mark), you can really see Abbott get
increasingly uncomfortable as the speech goes on. He starts by smiling
at the charges of being sexist to appearing deeply uncomfortable.
Obama could learn something about the difference of being polite and showing some spine from the Australian PM.
