We all like to knock our pollies but here's a pollie after my own heart.  I could vote for this guy                                               

Australian politics

 One  thing about Australians is that their hearts and humour are always in the right place! 
  
  
  
T. B. Bechtel, a part-time City Councilman from Newcastle, NSW was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought of the allegations oftorture of the Iraqi prisoners.

 
His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderousapplause from the audience. 
  
  
  
HIS STATEMENT: 
  
'If hooking up an Iraqi prisoner's nuts to a car's battery cables will save justone Australian's life, then I have just three things to say,' 
  
  
 'Red  is positive, black is negative and make sure his nuts are wet.'
