Official Tearfully Admits He Sniffed Female Lawmaker's Chairseat

Australia's Sunday News reports on an Australian government official who is facing calls to resign after admitting that he sniffed a female lawmaker's chair seat after she had stood up. The same lawmaker was recently in trouble for snapping the bra of another female lawmaker.

Troubled Opposition leader Troy Buswell has broken down in tears at a press conference and admitted he sniffed the chair of a female Liberal Party staffer.

With tears in his eyes, Mr Buswell had to compose himself before telling the media in Mandurah this morning that his behaviour had been unacceptable.

Mr Buswell said he had repeatedly refused to deny the allegations because he wanted to protect the woman involved.

But he broke down after he was asked about the effect of the reports on his wife and children.

At least he didn't wag his finger at us and declare- "I did not have chair sniffing with that woman".

A normal politician would admit to ANYTHING AT ALL except THAT. Dog fucking can be forgiven, after all. Booger eating, mainlining Cocaine, these can all be erased in the minds of voters. But don't admit to THAT you IDIOT...

This story is no longer news, just pandering. Use the front page space to cover something of reak importance to the well-being of the US taxpayer.

In fact, let's use the space to follow the CSPAN coverage of the Senate investigation into war contractors abuse of the Americans' taxpayers money.

[offred]

Could you move this story off the front page? It's been here two, three, four days? It seems forever.

DOG!!!

[scire]

maybe he has tourette's.

Thanks to everyone for the laughs. I've missed this with all the talk about BO and HRC lately. Now I can go to bed.

People are just funny and strange, the whole human situation is funny and strange and wondrously ridiculous. I wouldn't trade this ride of life for the world.

[RThM]

This is an issue? Politicians are always sniffing at each others butts. Don't be so sexist.

I see this as a real e-bay moment. If a grilled cheese sandwith with a Jesus face can sell for thousands, imagine what perverts would pay for -- let's say hankies that a woman "sat" on before sale.

I know women who spend hours everyday sitting in front of a computer slaving away for a paltry salary, and if there was some way they could -- multi-task -- put their sitting to good use, then why not?

I always thought Australians were a weird bunch, with their hair-shirted drunken Mel Gibson fanatical descendents of Irish criminals exiled to that God forsaken land in the middle of nowhere. But perhaps I could reconsider, if there is a real marketing opportunity in that wonderful country.

First I've got to find a cheap source of -- cloth, let's say -- then hire some direct mail company to package and ship. I'll be retired by the time the election rolls around, probably voting Republican so no one taxes the millions I'll probably earn.

Well one thing can be said for the Aussies. At least they have the decency not to trot their wives out to stand by their side when they they give their so sorry speech.

Is "sniffing a woman's chair" a clever Aussie euphemism? If not, exactly what is the big deal? These people don't know how good they got it compared to the kind of crap politicians around here get caught doing every day of the week.

[ignorantwillyharper]

Well, he's not a rapist, he's just a after the after the fact.

"With tears in his eyes, Mr Buswell had to compose himself before telling the media in Mandurah this morning that his behaviour had been unacceptable."

Well, yah, I guess so. Unless he was planning to be on SNL or something.

[Raymondf]

A real pervert.

[curioustorquemada]

What did it smell like?
Summers Eve?
FDS?



Pizza?

[vandegrasse]

Ocean breezes!

[anastasiabeaverhousen]

Whatever it was, it caused tears........you can bet they weren't tears of remorse.

[aquarius2001]

ROFLMAO !!! Those poor reporters could barely keep a straight face!! Too funny!!

[FZliveson]

The simple pleasures of life...sniffing a chair seat, rolling around by the fire with the Cocker Spaniel, eating spoonfulls of crunchy peanut butter, stuffing potatoes into people's exhaust pipes (on their cars) and telling people their back wheels are going forward. Just how good does it get? jeeze...maybe our politicians will follow suit.

[bernarda]

Don't forget eating pretzels by a couch potato, and then falling off the couch.

[cdub1991]

Gotta love those Aussies!

2nd attempt.. Republican Senator, David 'The Diaperman' Vitter, likes to wear diapers, in some kind of fantasy with a prostitute. It was the same prostitute about once a week for a long time. The prostitute just 'happened' to bear a striking resemblance to his wife. The woman who was recently exposed on the Internet as being the girl friend of John Mc Cain, during the 2000 campaign for the Republican Party nomination for president, looked as though she was separated at birth from Beer Heiress Cindy Mc Cain. Republicans can also claim Senator Larry 'Tap Tap' Craig (the men's room cruiser). That stall at the Minnesota Airport has become a tourist attraction. I'm sure that it will be very popular with the convention goers, as they come and go from the Republican Convention. There was a Republican congressman who got caught propositioning an undercover policeman, while they were each hanging out at a public men's room in a park in Florida. Florida is also the home of Congressman Mark Foley, the guy who was sexually harassing the teenage male pages. He claimed that it all started, when he had sex with a priest, while he was a teenager. House Speaker Dennis 'Fat' Hastert was rumored to have been part of the page scandal, before he declined to run for re-election and then retired suddenly. I could go on, but it should be obvious to anyone the Aussies have a long way to go, before they catch up with us.

Shall we now talk about the left now? Na, they don't like sex with humans. They're more into cigars, and yes, occasionally someone elses wife!! Pot meet kettle!!

[choada777]

Wives aren't considered human?

[standforpeace]

Haven't you heard, the Republicans have just issued a memo that wives are no longer to be considered human. From here on out, they are to be known as f**kin c**ts.

[scorpioleidy]

He is one sick b@st@ard !!!

[scorpioleidy]

Eww - That's just nasty!

[vandegrasse]

Hope she wasn't a bean lover!

[notthistime]

I have to laugh. lol

[Nofoolhere]

The best cure for this kind of depraved idiocy is to come up with a chemical that can be sprayed on a chair by a women when she leaves for an extended period of time. The chemical will act like a date rape drug, but will have no erotic dimension.

Instead, it will cause the sniffer to suffer an overwhelming compulsion to campaign for or give the victim women large awards, huge raises, promotions, and a variety of costly gifts without knowing why, until they eventually come to the attention of their superiors and are fired for incompetence.

[HatingTheGame]

Adds a whole new meaning to coming from Down Under.

LOL
