Tony Abbott decides not to go to Afghanistan because he needs his rest (allegedly):
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says he did not take up Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s invitation to visit Australian troops in Afghanistan because he did not want to turn up “jetlagged” to the British Conservative Party conference.
While Ms Gillard spent the day after her secret diversion to Afghanistan in back-to-back meetings with 11 world leaders including French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Mr Abbott said he wanted to “make the most” of his chance to meet his Tory counterparts.
Politicians!! When will you learn! When you become opposition leader and you go on overseas trips ITS NOT FOR A CUP OF MILO!
Though I guess Iron man Tony didn’t want be all tired and grumpy when he met the big boys in the governments. He could go without sleep when it comes to being elected, but when it comes to doing important governing things he really does need his rest.
But the real “DERP” moment came from the SMH with this:
HA
GEDDIT!? SPEEDOS!? ….

I do love the disclaimer though: “These polls are not scientific” ... No shit.
