"What do you expect them to do — fall on the ground and grovel, eat dirt? I mean, get real."
- Alexander Downer, on refusing to apologise for 'mis-detaining' Dr Haneef on terrorism charges
John Howard also refused to apologise. Then again, I think John Howard enjoys erring on the side of arrogance when he comes to national affairs. A certain indigenous issue comes to mind.
But Downer's line is a classic. His media team should get fired, or just quit. Their boss is obviously not only not media savvy, he is also politically suicidal and an idiot. But then again we all already know that, since even Keating called him the 'Idiot Son of the Establishment'
