Iemma's dirty mouth (1 Viewer)

[Collin]

Hahahahaha.

..I'm sure by now most of you have heard about the Premier's comments on Cross City's new Chief Executive which was inadvertently recorded and subsequently released to all.

Incase you haven't heard about this, during a break in a COAG meeting on Friday, Bracks casually asked Iemma if there were any issues he had to deal with in N.S.W, to which he replied (thinking the microphone was off):

"Today? This fuckwit who's the new CEO of the Cross City Tunnel has ... been saying what controversy? There is no controversy."

May seem politically damaging, but really this simply makes Iemma out to be someone who does seem to sympathise with Sydney commuters; possibly good news for his election chances.

Funny stuff though. Look forward to hearing when Iemma's gonna hold his next meeting with Mulligan (Cross City CEO). Even more interesting, the comment came less than two weeks after the Premier backed calls by the NSW Chief Justice for Australians to improve their manners. Hahahaha.

I honestly don't have a problem with it, show's he's not a robot, but good to see Debnam ripping the shit out of him for it though.

 

[Collin]

Like federal Labor, when you're in opposition you just can't let past opportunities like this to dig into your opponents. I don't actually know what Debnam's reaction to it was, but I'm sure he had a good crack. Nevertheless, this shows Iemma has personality and balls, and I'm sure (even though most seem to assert that his display was 'offensive'; refer today's papers for examples) that it won't hurt his election chances at all.

But I do agree with him though. Sure the Carr Government made dire errors negotiating the Cross City contract, but for the CEO to dismiss any concerns over the situation just like that certainly makes him a fuckwit in my books.

I think his spin doctors would be quietly happy that it got out. Debnams response was pretty piss poor. It's a sad state of affairs when the government is only in simply by default. The lack of talent on both sides is disconcerting.

 

[iamsickofyear12]

Smartest thing he has ever said. Doesn't change the fact that he is still a complete moron though.

people who present themselves to the public aren't allowed to swear, including workers at retail shops, government officials and sofourth, unless its rated like a movie

its the exact same reason you dont hear a cashier say "this fucking shit you bought is $20, nigger!": iemma doesn't swear on camera but he does in real life, *shock horror*

No matter how bad Iemma gets, Debnam will never win. Debnam pronounces the word 'renegotiate' as "renegociate".

Everyone understands that concept, but the whole deal is that he swore in real life.. ON CAMERA. But hey, atleast it broke the bubble which made many view him as an incompetent human sleeping pill.

That reminds me of Bush's State of the Union speech for some year in the recent past... he couldn't pronounce 'nuclear proliferation'. Twas' teh funny.

Forget health, policing and education, the next state election will be won on pronunciation, enunciation and intonation!

The sad thing is that's probably true :S

You betcha! NSW ALP eternal!!.

(JKD, it's not that he can't pronounce the word, just that he delivers it in his snooty eastern suburbs accent).

 

[Collin]

No no, we're not talking about how he pronounces nuclear as 'nucular', he actually stuttered when it came to 'proliferation' and couldn't get it out properly.

Forget health, policing and education, the next state election will be won on pronunciation, enunciation and intonation!

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[nwatts]

Ah, shows Iemma has some balls. This is the Labor Party like it should be.

I'm actually suprised the Libs didn't thrash him for it. I swear they're getting more right and more conservative by the minute. Debnam's a hopeless politician. I swear he has no soul. He looks like a mutant. Worst media personality ever.
